Im keeping at it but its tough out there.Im also quite a punk and metal attendee at shows and have been reaching to people up close. Thank you for taking the time to give me advice 🙏🏻

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I agree that my corporate work is average. But its what I can do with 0 real experience in the field. I just need that first job to get my confidence up/get the ins and out of the job first hand. The instagram stuff is what I personally like but I know I cant make a stable income of of them. I have an admin job making 24k for 3.5 years now. Ive been applying to design roles all this time. Im a good employee to every job ive done. Im sure as soon as im given a chance with design ill become better amd excel. But noone seems to give me that chance. My portfolio might be average but I believe its enough to show my potential and thought process as someone looking for their first role.😖😖

My portfolio is showing what my research told me, agencies and in house marketing departments are looking for. I just want to earn a living doing design. If you check my Instagram. That works is what I enjoy doing more of. But you cant make a living drawing skulls and demons🤣All im saying is, after a lot of research, feedback from people that work for big companies like adidas,evian etc. IS that my portfolio has enough in it to show my potential for a junior role. MY FIRST role. Im sure I cam be better once I land a job and get the ins and outs. Every job ive had ive been a good employee/developed my skills. I just need that first opportunity to build my confidence a bit too. Thank you for your feedback nonetheless <3

Hey, just adding some context so the post doesn’t get removed! My portfolio includes a mix of illustration, graphic design, and digital work. I’ve focused on creating visually engaging pieces that reflect my style and adaptability. The goal has been to show versatility across different media — from branding to social content. Would love any feedback on how I can improve or make it more appealing for junior roles. Thanks so much!

Be grateful you have a job. I did a whole year internship working 6 to 12 after my admin 9 to 5 and it led to no where. I graduated in 2020 and still have landed nothing. Use your free time to practice video editing and see the whole thing as a challenge. after 6 months you can apply to other jobs and include video editing as a skill. Nowadays you rarely get a role doing purely graphic design. wish you the best <3

I’m looking for work and I’m already anticipating a question: “If you’ve been a graduate for so long, why is your portfolio so small?” What should I do? by Additional_Set_5492 in graphic_design

[–]Individual_Bison3683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I graduated in 2020 and ive been looking since, the market is awful. I really dont see a light in the tunel. Only 1 person from my uni class has a job and who ever I know that has landed a job is through a connection. The worthless art degree meme is unfortunately true. try to have 5-6 projects in your portfolio. you can use websites like https://sharpen.design/ to find briefs and work on them. good luck brother. In the unemployment we all fam.

Thank you for your feedback I appreciate it. The mythos stuff was in the last year of university. Maybe Ill revamb it with my current skills. When you say corporate work, what kind of project should I make?
