Answer 1

Pay attention to what is happening around you in the graphic design world. Look at advertisements (even on this site) and ask your self, can i do that? Practice making ads that are similar. A lot of the time in this field you have to keep pace with the present. If you are on top of it, you will be asked to do an ad, and use all of what you have learned and it will push the envolope. Then other will be looking at your work, and the circle continues.
