You’re probably a graphic designer that’s sick of not working as one if you’re reading this.
Get serious about yourself as a graphic designer
and don’t take crap from ANYONE!
Here’s a little thing about the graphic design job market that you may already know: There’s an expanding demand for modern, young graphic designers, but there are more people studying and trying to make a career out of it than there is to offer.
Solution: Make your own job and work in pajamas!
I’ve spent thousands and thousands of dollars in graphic design schooling, years of wasting time and countless interviews for graphic design and marketing positions for corporations. After being rejected and humiliated by tons of interviewers, I realized that precious years of my life had been destroyed by a dead end education and naive corporate idiots.
Once you finally realize that most of society’s hype is pretty much a scam,
It’s time to make a change.
Here’s a few things to get your started on making your own brand of graphic design work:
- Give your design studio a name that people will eventually recognize.
- Design yourself a website with your impressive portfolio on there.
- Try and start by finding local businesses that don’t even have logos (which is a lot of them).
- Once you get a few clients by doing logos, expand into marketing materials.
- Now, get online and find a few outsourcing websites for jobs to bid on (Freelancer.com).
- Do the same thing as you would for local businesses and try to maintain your online clients.
If you keep these easy steps going, you’ll find it very easy to make yourself a schedule that fits your life (and you’ll be making good money, no doubt).
Cheers!
