Yeah in Canada we have a lot of opportunities but its relative with your skills, doing a lot of tutorial, and specialization is a good way to become a senior !

for myself im really not a senior just an addict

Mate, you've got my dream job! I always want to get into the web/graphic design industry but opportunities for uni graduates are rare right now here in Aus, especially on the Gold Coast where I live.

Could you tell me how did you get ur foot in the door at first?

lol, its a really really good timing, but you know that kind of job are rare and new... so if i can give you a good hint !

try many things, make a lot of tutorials, read, AND Specialize you in something !

Keep Up To Date ! your skills

Me im specialize in photos retouching and calibrating, but you can be a senior designer, 2d artist (textures), Web designer, magazine designer...

but first you need to know what you wanna do, and after, do it create a good portfolio, make a lot of good work, look all the stuff of others designer on the web, try to make better and grow up your skills.

And for the web industry, you need to know, html, Css base skills

after, find great web deisgn and take a screen shot, build you a folder, and drop all cool web design in this folder... (continue to do that all the time when you go on a cool web site)

after, open photoshop, and try to do a web design for you, for fun use the folder with screenshot for ideas !

you can do it !

Have a nice day !
