Talent is often scrutinized and evaluated in such subjective ways that it isn't recognized (the phrase "ahead of his/her time" comes to mind). Most people have a creative talent, but creative endeavors are often laughed at because they are outside the norm. Most creative people are demoralized at a young age and don't have the heart to continue. I think the most important quality in a great artist is bravery, moreso than "talent" or skill.

Not everyone who picks a major is gifted at it, not everyone will seek a career in in, and most will be run of the mill employees if they do. The difference is graphic design is like photography...everyone has access to the technology to dabble and claim ownership. That can be said of all degress.

Inspiration. Motivation. Creativity. Everyone gets all three at some point. Nothing will come of it it without the other two though. Just because you might get two out of three sometimes, doesn't mean you stop trying. The more you try, the more chance of creating something. Everyone has a talent for at least one of those three areas. An idea just needs the right place and mind. You need three things. Inspiration. Motivation. Creativity.
