graphic design Q&A + creative process from idea to digital 

Can u show your updated portfolio ?

I once had a client that ended up asking for maybe 4 sets of revisions and then a whole new design to which I asked to be paid more. They ended up refusing to pay me at all and asked for their deposit back to which I replied no. They called me unprofessional and countless messages were exchanged. Things like this really dishearten me as a designer because sometimes people don’t realise how much time we spend creating things for them.

Love these instructional videos! As a graphic design student, it's extremely informative and interesting to get a peek into another graphic designer's creative process!

I study journalism, but anything with design inspires me to be more creative and I even want to incorporate my own designs into platforms I wanna create some day. Love hearing you talk about graphic design!

A) graphic designers are so cool. They are like the Arias of the world. B) Great video. Super helpful. I appreciate your vibe and content! Jazakallah.

I've never been this early wow LOOK AT YOU! YOU ARE GLOWING!!!

I really enjoyed your perspective on design jobs! I have one semester left until I get my design degree so I've been in full panic mode™️ about getting a real design job lol. The way you talk about your job was really reassuring. Thank you! 💕😊

Love your videos, I am a graphic design student and I really get inspired when it comes to watch your advices, so thank you!❤️

This video was so good! Please do more videos on graphic design and freelancing!

no one's mentioning this but your hair is so pretty

Really inspiring! I could listen to this for hours hahah. I'm about to get into an internship and hope to learn more about the business side there as well as skills in the Adobe programmes because we don't get it taught at school. You answering these questions already helps! 🙌🙌💕

so good to hear all of this from someone who’s got the experience and knowledge! you’re literally my design mentor! thanks for your wisdom angel 👏🏼💖

Lindsey your videos about graphic design are awesome, especially for someone who's trying to follow this new path & still figuring out how & where :c thank you!

you are honestly one of the reasons I got into graphic design! I'm now doing my diploma of design at tafe (I'm from aus) and it's a massive passion of mine now! so thankyou for inspiring me and continuing to do so! xx

This was so needed! Thank you!

Loved this video! Please, could you share your favorite graphic designers? It would be a great way to get inspiration and discover new artists! I’m just starting on graphic design and I’m really excited to learn and try to create things. You really inspire me 🌊

you're videos always make me wanna study graphic design 🥺, I'm completely in love with your style and work I wish I had more options at my country, but Lindsey, do you know if there's anyway I could actually catch up on that maybe with a post grad, or an exchange, like would it be as validated as a normal grad? ahahaha it would be really helpful

Very useful information. Thank you!

graphic student tips please!🥺

You should check out designspiration! It’s like Pinterest but more design/art oriented

just graduated nursing school and know absolutely nothing about graphic design but of course im watching this because it's lindsey! haha

Adobe XD is my ishhh

Super interested in getting a design degree but I’m not an amazing artist. Thoughts on applying to schools and going into the industry?

what ipad model do you use? :)

Ok but what lipstick are you wearing?? Because I'm in love

Oooh I love the eyeliner! So pretty. What kind is it?

What ipad and MacBook Do u use

What are some of your favorite graphic design instagram accounts you follow? I love finding new graphic designers!

Do you feel that an iPad is worth the price for a graphic design major?

Where’s ur shirt from?

Would you recommend teaching yourself how to use graphic design tools? I’m not good at photoshop but want to learn!!

Have you ever worked in advertising design? Did u enjoy it? I gotta pick a major soon (corporate design or advertising design) and Im so stuck

LINDSEYYY I MISSED YOU

Can someone list all the apps she talks about?

I'm in graphic design high school so to speak( i have no idea how to describe my school in English) and I feel like this is something that I could potentially go to university for later but holy shit my teachers are horrible and I have 10% creativity and skills. Our teacher gives us an A for literally doing nothing. My classmates download shit from freepik, are done in 1 hour and get an A while I'm over here struggling to even visualize what I want to do. Because of this environment where you get an A for simply existing, I don't want to spend 10 hours on a shitty assignment when I can spend 2 hours doing something simple but that I'm not satisfied with at all. I have no motivation to do better when it's not going to get acknowledged in any way. Not to mention our assignment is usually "hey remember that technique that we did in 1st grade and never practiced or brought up again until now, yeah now incorporate it in this picture" or "today were doing an annual 12-month catholic saints calendar like we do every year, download this calendar from the internet and copy it word for word". I'm not that creative in general and it takes me a day to even come up with an idea with the help of Pinterest and its hard to work on those ideas when I have till the end of that class to finish the assignment or I get an F. So yeah, I just had to rant for a minute about how awesome graphic design can be but I'm just having an awful time doing it.
