I think that the above mentioned wedbsite is really great, so try it out...
also I don't think that your GCSE choices are that important so long as you get good grades, but I do recommend that you really focus on IT and Art!
hope this helps...

It sounds like you want to be a fashion designer rather than a graphic designer the london college of fashion has great courses, take a look here and you will get an idea of whats on offer.

To become a graphic designer there may be some people that make it to the industry just by talent alone, most, if not all of us (I'm talking you and me here) need some sort of certificate or degree to land a job as a graphic designer. Employers won't even bother to look at you if you lack the piece of paper that shows that you have been trained and seasoned by some sort of graphic design related courses. Getting a degree or certificate doesn't reflect your talent, but it does show that you have a good firm base of knowledge and you take the industry seriously. So what are your options?

There are many graphic design schools and colleges the Uk, and abroad that offers graphic design related degrees and courses. The range and scope of these courses all depend on what you want, and where you want to go.
There are courses in multimedia, graphic design, visual communication, advertising, animation, web development, and so on. All have much of the same principles and structure at work, but they all can have a different slant. Often people lump these categories together into "graphic design". A multimedia courses for example may focus more on the TV industry.
Other courses may focus more on print or website development. Often there is some overlap with all of these kinds of programs, but they can be quite different. It's important though to know what slant the courses has, and if you're happy with that slant.

Well i really want this institution so badly. how can i be part of this family.

Definitely take graphic design as a module if it is available at your school. But if your looking to be involved more with fashion opt for a textiles module. Art will also help you significantly.

Good look with your GCSE years!

Look for anything which is design or computer related in order to go into graphic design. A modicum of knowledge in Arts generally does not go a miss either.
