A Day in the Life of a Graphic Designer 2024 ⭐️ 

First one to comment broo, l love your content

Thank you for sharing, I surely felt inspired 😊

Me, as a newbie, "Oh...well, that's good to know. Up till now I wasn't sure how formal 'presentations' were for the people that were recommending presentations." Some designers just show their nice slides or the pdf they upload.

Yeah, I'm not for waking up too early and I hate 'hustle culture'. It's not my thing and I find it can become toxic. :)

Work to live - don’t live to work! :)

I love watching others work too!

Thank you! Really appreciate it :)

Thanks for watching! No advertising with Costa in this video - I just like their coffee. :) Stay curious!

I just get the highest spec I can afford. It rarely goes wrong!

I do ha. I eat whilst working - I don't really take a lunch break.

We can do all these things, however we specialise in brand strategy (getting the business to understand how their brands works and how to connect with their audience) and brand identity (creating the visuals and the personality of the company through visual design).

Hi there! Hope I can help with your question as I'm a self taught designer myself. Before I even touched the Adobe programs, I personally spent months learning everything I could on theory and design principles (ex. Hierarchy, white space, grids, colour theory, etc.) & I made a checklist of all the topics I needed to learn/make notes on, and followed that so it wasn't too overwhelming. After that, I bought the Adobe suite and again spent months learning the programs (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign - & for fun, After Effects, but not required). After I had a good understanding of the programs, I began doing a ton of passion projects and briefs, building case studies, and my socials. My entire process does take a LONG time, it literally took me probably 2 years now to finally be at the end of my base learning journey to feel like I'm actually pretty proficient as a designer, but I personally knew that I wanted to be thorough. I was working a another full time job during all this too, so that's probably why it took longer as well lol - I know a lot of ppl just jump straight into the programs, but imo, theory is extremely important and sets ppl a part from being a good designer vs. someone who just knows how to use the programs - best of luck!!

Have you tried following a brief? I sometimes find if there isn't enough information to work from it can be a bit overwhelming knowing where to begin - if you have a brief it gives you perimeters to work in which helps your brain work out the problem :)

About 80% of the time I'm doing it by hand :)

There's no way you guys have a shop called Poundtown?! I've heard of Dollar Tree/General, it's similar to a 99 cent store

Im curious as well. Hope the community can share.

Very interesting, maybe take some famous logos and redo them in your own style?

I'm not really sure what to suggest specifically as I've not been in this situation, but I suppose the obvious would be just to get back to it, brush up on skills you know could use some improvement, rework your portfolio and begin marketing yourself again - don't try and do everything all at once, if you've got the ability/resources to take your time with it then it will be less overwhelming

Hey!

Don't wait for someone to tell you to do the work you want to do. Always work on a passion project and stay curious!

Subtitles and dubbing coming soon!

@@willpatersondesign Thank you 😊 I will buy course tomorrow.

My first project when I was a teenager was around $40/50 :) There's no gatekeeping, I've taught pretty much everything I've learned over the past 10+ years on my videos to share with you guys

It'll hurt even more to know for the same money you could have got a Ferrari with zero depreciation that'll make up for the difference in running costs!

@@dcarbs2979 I'm not a car guy. I just wanted an electric car :)

Hello from the 3rd world countries where a senior graphic designer make a 500$ a month

Thanks! (that's okay you don't know what the logo is for) haha

would you like Ep2? :)

I do! Depending on what I'm working on I'll switch between them

We're not currently hiring but whenever we do we post on our socials :)

thank you, @@willpatersondesign

Much more rewarding. :)

I do what I want! haha :)
