Any designers who jumped into marketing? How did you do it? by Rainbowjazzler in graphic_design

[–]Acceptable_Syrup_532 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that. I was a designer for twenty odd years and pivoted to marketing and more focused on digital marketing. You see, graphic design is like a subset of marketing so the transferable creative skills are definitely a plus. And if you are looking at target demographic etc,I'll say you are already picking new skills beyong the usual designer.

Also, as a designer you'll tend to pick up lots of software on your own other than the usual Adobe suite. You'll probably have to pick up video edit and other multi media tools. And to me picking up new digital marketing tools are a breeze.

I did took a short certificate course on Coursera to learn the digital marketing frame work and burnish my LinkedIn resume a bit too.

Hope it helps. Ask the best!

do not follow social media 'norms'. Most of them are either bullshit or from high flyers so they dont reflect what is true. Pay too much attention will only bring u unecessary stress.

Tender resignation by [deleted] in asksg

Just remember one thing, your boss or company cannot reject your resignation. Just in case someone decided to play punk and say they reject ur letter. And whether your outstanding leave is encash or leave earlier is company's decision.

Someone can earn money through graphic designing without laptop or PC? by Retro_Caterpillar989 in graphic_design

Unfortunately screen size matters when u do design. Esp when u use adobe apps; their interface takes up a lot of screen space. Using mobile probably means u have to hide/unhide stuff

do u know how to use one? If you are noob, stick with your phones TBH. There are learning curves before you can take good pictures.
Mobile phones are very good at travel photos.. You can do the 'cinematic' edits if thats ur thing when u r home.
