I was able to become a successful freelance logo and brand identity designer and quit my part time job at subway at age 21 without a formal education in graphic design.
In this video I breakdown how you can do the same, my tips and tricks for building your portfolio, getting your first client and building your personal brand as a designer. All the stuff you need to be on your way!
If you have any questions I'll answer them all in the comments below!

the key to success in life : Come up with a timetable and stick to it. If you need to modify it, do so. But stick to it. Every drop will add up. You will have bad days but labour on. You will get there.

Love your insight Robert! My 21st birthday is coming up soon, and due to the sickness going on in the world I may not return to school this fall. I'm always wondering if not having a degree currently will hinder me, so it's great to see another person my age on a similar path!

@RobertNowland 4 года назад

Yeah absolutely! I think learning to carve your own path is more valuable than a degree :) this virus thing has turned all our world's upside down hasn't it. If you're ever want someone to chat to don't hesitate to reach out

Haha, not anymore hopefully 😄 thanks bro

@StrunDoNhor 2 года назад

The social media angle is something I've always struggled with. The thought of engaging with it all these different platforms, and potentially hundreds (even thousands) of followers, on the daily feels... _Exhausting._ Plus, and this is probably just me, but the whole, _"Hello, and what is up guys! It's [name] here, coming at you with another...!"_ shtick has never sat well with me. It's not who I am, and trying to replicate it just feels wrong -- disingenuous. Like, I just want to sit down in a quiet room and design. It's what I love to do.

@liliacreativity1751 3 года назад

Hey, would you suggest a pathway list or steps you did to become a gd. I want to become one but feel lost and a bit overwhelm. I want to learn on my own and save $ from going to school. Should I buy all the graphic design programs, practice, and do free gigs, and make a portfolio by using wix website?

@RobertNowland 3 года назад

Message me on Instagram I'll talk to you there. Yeah essentially I'd get the cracked version of the programs for free and as you say practice as much as you can and do free gigs to start out

@ViewFrameOfficial 3 года назад
