Having been an inactive graphic designer for years, I didn't think I would badly need this to find my way back into the industry. LOVE THISSSSS. Keep doing it!
''Because rest is also part of productivity'' - Just loved it❣. It's a gentle reminder for everyone to take a step back and realize that professional life serves personal life and not the other way around.
I also started as a freelance graphic designer with no experience or even schooling. It was rough, learning as I move forward was my only hope at that time and 6 years after I was juggling with multiple clients that it affected my mental health that leads to anxiety and burn out. Then I just learned that money is just a bonus and not the actual prize if you play the long game, what was far more important that I've missed on my journey was the sustainability, value, overall well-being and with potential to scale up for a goal (like a studio or agency).
I thought I’d have to sift through countless videos to chart my path in graphic design. Instead, your video delivered exactly what I needed in just 20 minutes-straight to the point and brilliantly done. Thank you, sir!
man you deserve a subscription! I've worked in an agency as a clerk processor but my work focuses more on Video editing, designing brochures and print media. I did design a logo once for the agency but then it doesn't feel like the real deal. I never really felt like I was on the design line of work, but I do have passion for designing way before working. Now, I do not know how to make a portfolio, where to start or what to showcase in. It feels like my work for over 4 years was mediocre and now I found your video and motivated in starting over. Thanks man!
I'm going back to graphic design after 10 years. Thank god i found your channel. This time i'm going to do it right and i will never skip a part. I'm switching as well to affinity suite. Sinubukan ko sya and after a week i know right away eto na ang gagamitin ko. Thanks for sharing your experience. I learned a lot from you.
thank you a lot for this video :) i want to quit my current job to start a design career and this video motivated me again to stop procrastinating. pursuing a new career can be scary and i was happy to hear that you are self-taught. i want to teach it myself as well instead of going to university but like 90% of the jobs ask for a degree... but freelancing sounds better to be anyway.
As a beginner graphic designer, this really helped me get my passion again and as you've said throughout this journey we shouldn't forget about our mental health ❤THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Hey Michael! I loved your video.... Can you please make a video on what are the free platforms for graphic designer community to interact with each other?
I've been creating so many graphics for at least 5 years, at first I'm glad I'm making some money from it but as the time goes by then I'm starting to fell that burnout, Impostor syndrome and sometimes takes a long break. But this year I'm starting to realize I've to do it once again seriously because I'm already feel the pressure (I'm already graduated from the school and being unemployed for 1 years) so yeah thank you so much for showing me the way to starting all over again
i appreciate this video! thank you so much!! i took up bfa information design but ended up in a finance 9-5 job but now im trying to transition ü thank u so much! 15:48
This is a really inspiring roadmap for aspiring graphic designers. It's great to hear how you emphasizes the importance of fundamentals, practice, and building a strong portfolio.
Hi micheal, fellow artist and graphic designer here. i like your videos. Can you do a video recommendation of what websites you used to build your portfolio if you have the time? Preferable the easy ones to use?
Very surprised to learn that you had no formal training. I been watching your videos for a while now. Keep it up! Could you recommend any specific courses that you took during learning phase of your journey?
hey, i started watching your videos this year and i was super motivated. Now i m working as a graphic designer in a marketing agency. Are you into ui/ux design too?
I love this content. New subscriber here. What would you recommend when making a portfolio? Does it need to be in behance or dribble or should it be a personal website? which one would be more effective/appealing?
Hi! I'm a Multimedia Arts student and I find my interest lies more on graphic design, your videos and many others here on RUclips has helped me so much on my learning journey. I've been enjoying it so far! My plan is to build my portfolio through project works so I can earn whilst building my portfolio. Though the question that has been bothering me is that, how will I know if I'm ready for a Graphic Design Job? I've made a few mock works here and there but nothing of actual projects yet. What should I do?
hey man this is amazing! i've been wanting to learn a little more about graphic design and this has really inspired me! on a side note, do you (or anyone else) know some free software to practice making designs? thanks!
Realistically as a freelance designer, how many hours do you spend a day in work? Do you find yourself working / studying outside of work hours as well?
hi ,love your video and i do have one question .i used to work as a 3d artist for gaming industry for over 6+ years and iam trying to switch my profession to graphic design ,so do i need to add this exp into my new resume or just show myself completely fresher ? thanks in advance

You'll never "feel" ready, get actual projects and learn/improve as you go. You'll learn more when you do real client interactions
OMG! Thank you for the response!
hey man this is amazing! i've been wanting to learn a little more about graphic design and this has really inspired me! on a side note, do you (or anyone else) know some free software to practice making designs? thanks!
Thank you so much
Please update more videos
i will
Create a tutorial for mock making in blender
It is really helpfull thanks
Glad to hear that
Realistically as a freelance designer, how many hours do you spend a day in work? Do you find yourself working / studying outside of work hours as well?
about 6-8 hours
hi ,love your video and i do have one question .i used to work as a 3d artist for gaming industry for over 6+ years and iam trying to switch my profession to graphic design ,so do i need to add this exp into my new resume or just show myself completely fresher ? thanks in advance
It may be helpful to mention your 3D work background, because it means you have an experience working with a client/team
Screw photo shop and illustrator, I'm using firealpaca.
