These two are an entry level job and a professional job for a graphic designer. The first one I chose it because I think it's an easy level for a gaphic designer who has no experience like me. You need to know the basics like Photoshop or Illustrator although at the end it would be hard because it'll be you first job. Any ways, i think this one would be perfect to gain experience in my field.
