As a self taught graphic designer who is building portfolio with personal projects I found your videos so inspiring. Thanks a lot for taking your time and doing this. You're great!

Hi! I’m just starting. So hard to know where to start. Or like I’m good enough.

@MeganWeeks 20 дней назад

I know it can be hard in the beginning. My recommendation is to not judge yourself to hard, practicing designing almost everyday (even just 30 mins a day), you can find fake client briefs online or use prompts from chat gpt to practice, and to stop consuming other designers as much so you can find your unique style!

Can you make thumbnail design?

@Sh4dowPupp3t 25 дней назад

Do you think it’s still worth it anymore because of a.i.? Designers use it as a tool, but everyone else is using it to replace designers and companies are/will be “training” a.i. with work that’s already out there

@MeganWeeks 24 дня назад

Yes, in my opinion I definitely think it is still worth pursuing! As of right now, I believe that creativity comes from the human experience and a deep understanding of human emotions. I know AI can make art but it still lacks emotional intelligence to make it unique and one of a kind. I definitely think companies will still need to hire designers to bring that unique creativity to the project.
