Training. There is more to it than loving it and having a little flair. It is necessary to have a knowledge of architectural styles, history, balance, color,design principles etc. Research where to get training so that you have the proper credentials: ASID.

Depends on where you stay. If it's Mumbai, then try JJ School of Arts. Any other city in India, do a search for Interior Design colleges. Also try to get an internship at a popular interior designer in your city.

You can get a degree in fashion design. I do not know much about it in the USA, but I know that Kingston University in the UK have a school of fashion. You learn about designing and you also take classes in making patterns and putting garments together. Big fashion lables and textile companies sponsor special projects. Twice a year you get to design a collection and organize a fashion show. You also get to learn either Italian or French so that you will have the language skills to work at the large fashion houses in Paris and Milan. After graduation, many students actually get jobs working as junior designers for the large fashion lables.

If you are in the United States, you need to do the following:\n\n1. Earn a Bachelor's Degree in Education, with your specialization as Elementary. If you are interested in becoming an art teacher, your specialization would be Art, or you could extend your program and have two specializations. This includes coursework, field observations, practicums, and student teaching.\n\n2. Pass state professional competency exams in basic skills, general knowledge, professional knowledge, and your area(s) of speciality.\n\n3. Pass local, state, and federal background checks.\n\n4. Obtain a state license (your teacher prep program will help you get everything done for that).\n\nI would also recommend that while you get your degree, you work as a substitute teacher as soon as you  have enough college credits to qualify for hire. You can sub different grade levels and get a real feel for what level you like best, and it builds your resume.\n\nVolunteer teach kids' art classes at your local library, museums, and/or community college to gain additional experience and build your resume.

Journalism, marketing, creative writing, business, art....depends on what type of magazine and what role you want to play in the magazine. If you want to be into the creative side then you need art, graphic design, writing etc If you want to go into publishing then you need a business and marketing background. Magazine is teamwork.\n\nIf you look at the title page of a magazine it will list everyone that works on it. Start by researching their job titles online and focusing on what interests you the most.\n\nAlso have a clear idea of what audience you want to reach because you will need to be an expert in your field. For example if you want to do say a decorating magazine you will need a back ground in that field.\n\nI don't know where you live but perhaps you can call a local, small publication and ask to volunteer, just to see what it is like to get something to press. And also write letters, snail mail works best, asking questions of people in the industry about how they got where they are. People like to help people who are interested in their field. \n\nAnd lastly, look into if there are union requirements, clubs, organizations etc for the field...maybe you can get some inter work. (Interns are people who work their a** off for free so they can make contacts, network and learn the business in exchange.) \n\nGood luck...

Generally:\n\nDrawing (by hand)\nComputer modeling/visualizing\nPhysics (statics, structures)\nHistory of Architecture\nStudio/Design Courses\nArchitectural/Building Sciences\nProfessional Practice\n\nThe numbers and types of these courses will vary with the university focus, be it design or technology or science or history. Also, most professional degree granting programs will require a basic college math course (calculus), history course, and english/writing course. \n\nArchitecture schools will give you many of the skills to get a job as an "intern architect" (you do get paid).  What is important to employers is: 1) that you are proficient in CAD; 2) that you can communicate well verbally and in writing; 3) that you understand different materials and how they are assembled in three dimensions.  The better colleges/universities will expose you to all three of these things throughout your college experience.

I am not sure about interior design; but NID (National Institute of Design) and NIFT (National Institute for Fashion Technology) are two best institutes for any kind of Design.\nAt PG level IIT's also offer M.Des. (Master of Design).

Interior design is the process of shaping the experience of interior space, through the manipulation of spatial volume as well as surface treatment. Interior Design draws on aspects of environmental psychology, architecture, product design and furniture design in addition to traditional decoration. An interior designer is a person who is considered an expert in the field of interior design or one who designs interiors as part of their job. Interior design is a creative practice that analyzes programmatic information, establishes a conceptual direction, refines the design direction, and produces graphic communication and construction documents. In many jurisdictions, interior designers must be licensed to practice.

In order to get into fashion design, you'll need a really strong portfolio, some relevant work experience, and connections. One good way to get all three is to study fashion design at university. \n\nIt's best if you can go to a university located in the hub of one of the major fashion centres - I'm assuming you're in the US, so that means NYC, and probably the Fashion Institute of Technology, or the Parsons School of Design, two of the top programs in this field in the world. There are other really good design schools scattered around the country, but these are among the top, and with their location will give you great access to the fashion world, internships, meetings with past graduates, and career opportunities. \n\nThere are lots of schools offering good programs that will teach you the technology involved. However, being relistic and blunt, graduates of second-tier programs will have a much harder time finding jobs in design studios unless they have an absolutely stunning portfolio. You'll have a much easier time of it if you go to one of the top schools. \n\nThis is such a highly competitive field, that your school, portfolio and connections really, really do matter. Get into the best design school that you can, do internships and coops while you're there, put together a good portfolio, use the contacts you make and you'll be able to get yourself a beginning job upon graduation. \n\nThe link below may help.

Why not teach and do some interior design on the side?  When you have your kids, you can always ask to become part-time for teaching.  Take on Interior design jobs as you have the time for it, it'd be a great supplemental income.  \n\nAs for how to become a teacher, you would need to check with a local college or university to see what the rules are for your particular state.  In some states, you can teach in a particular area if you have your bachelor's in that area.  In others, you need to take some education classes and pass a test first.  Here in California, teacher credentialing is a 1 year program and a test.  I took my classes at night while I worked as a substitute during the day.  This took one semester and one summer, then my student teaching was the 2nd semester.  \n\nI have no experience with getting into the interior design field, so I can't answer that one.

As student who is close to receiving her Masters in Interior Design I will account for the long grueling hours spent at the studio in order to prepare you for the real world firm....it is a competitive field....one that may not be lucrative financially so it is definetly something that one needs a passion for...hours are spent researching materials, figuring out how things are built, having knowledge of building codes and regulations and being able to implement them into your design, being conscious of how the designed space affects the occupants health, safety, and well being...interior design for a building focuses more on the details of a project while architects focus more on the grand scheme of things....within a firm a group of architects will have projects that last longer....1-5yrs typically....while the interior designers will be working on a multitude of projects that typically have a shorter working span....interior designers within an architecture design firm also have their own projects and generate alot of working revenue for a company......in addition....designers don't get much credit in the real world but within the industry we are gaining more and more recognition as a valuable asset...and the industy recognizes that there are differences in knowledge, skill, and education between a designer and a decorator....in some states it is required to be licensed in order to call yourself a interior designer....hopefully this will be a regulation across the US since if affects the well being of the public.....

I've been a graphic designer for many years and I teach graphic design - I can tell you that there are people who go into this field who have no artistic talent at all and they get work. Big deal - that just means that there are lots of people out there who don't know anything about design and don't care.\n\nI assume you care about design and that's why you want to be a designer. Caring about it is the best place to start, but being "creative" and knowing the computer won't necessarily make you a GOOD graphic designer; that will take some training and practice in the finer skills and knowledge of graphic design. And you CAN learn those with no previous art training or experience.\n\nIf you care about doing beautiful and interesting work, then you will need to learn about the artistic side of graphic design. The good news is that can be fun and interesting. You CAN learn to draw - both with paper and pencil, and on the computer. You will also learn composition, and color, and typography, plus how to take and manipulate photos and images that work in your designs. \n\nLearning all this is possible in a variety of settings. I recommend taking courses from people who have worked as graphic designers and who can teach and mentor you. If you love design, doing this will be fun, not hard.\n\nThere are lots of resources for beginning designers and there's a lot you can learn online without being enrolled in school.  Here's a great site for all the key elements of graphic design and how to do it well. Each element has many pages - take some time to explore:\nhttp://www.warrenkramer.com/design/4/index.shtml\n\nHere are sites covering the three core elements of design. \n1) Color:\nhttp://www.colormatters.com/colortheory.html\n\n2) Typography\nhttp://www.thinkingwithtype.com/\n\n3) Composition\nhttp://www.typography-1st.com/typo/prnc-des.shtml\n\nAlso, AIGA is the main association for graphic designers and they have a lot of resources for students and newcomers:\nhttp://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/students\n\nFinally, there are lots and lots of good books on graphic design - go to a good bookstore or a library and spend some time looking through them to get an idea of what the work entails.

try art , drafting classes that fit closely what you want. you will need business classes too. Then there might be some decorating classes available. Try reading up on the subject at the local library. Too early to decided what area you want to deal with, but keep it in mind as you do research. Some history classes will help as some people admire period decorating. Study styles from different states & locations. Keep up with ideas usually found in any large circulation Sunday newspaper. Take a look at the travel sections for ideas, start a scrapbook, you can use this later for ideas.
