I'd suggest looking to see if there are any magazines in your country
aimed at the professional computer graphic artist. There are two that
appear on newsstands in my country, and probably several more specialist
publications that don't make it to many newsstands. Observe which tools
are involved in the "how to" and "case study" articles. Look at the
requirements in the job adverts.

Consider that as the professional tools come of age there will be a
continuing shift away from the need for computer geeks to use the tools.
A reasonable level of computer literacy will continue to be required,
but conventional design skills and artistic ability are becoming more
valuable assets.
