Do you know anything about graphic design? I've always been interested in it but don't know where to start.
I know it is the process of visual communication using images 
What kind of skills or training make a good graphic designer?
Creativity! A Creative director for example will oversee the creativity concept from start to finish
Cool! I like to  think I'm creative! Do you mostly use a computer, or hand drawing.. or??
Anything works. The Babylonians used bricks with cuneiform inscriptions in them. 
Wow... Babylonians.. I didn't know graphic design had been around for that long! Do you have any other fun facts?
Yes - Graphics comes from the Greek word graphikos, which means visual statements
Haha, wow! Greeks and Babylonians... you're going way back! Do you have any info thats a little more modern?
For sure, nowadays computer graphics are important for making films and pictures
