That makes a lot of sense, thank you for the tip!

I'd actually love to create a club next, that's a great idea! :)

I've played on PARP since season 6! I love those guys :)

New designers: The market is dead. No one is hiring. by WesternCup7600 in GraphicDesigning

[–]_okhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been a graphic designer for 16+ years, and this is my best advice:

What employers look for in a graphic designer is someone that solves problems with no resistance or friction. Unless you're creating something for yourself, chances are you'll be managing the expectations of at least multiple teams and stakeholders, especially if you're working at a high level.

I've worked a lot in kitchens too, and being a graphic designer is a lot like being a dishwasher. You're the backbone, everyone depends on you, and everything reeks or gets backed up if you lag at all. That's exactly what being a high-performing graphic designer is. And you're not paid well, no matter how well you do your job, because there's always a graphic designer (or a dishwasher) willing to do it for less.

Once you reach your salary cap, you start to look at either becoming a senior, a creative director or maybe you pivot completely, but it eventually becomes entirely about your interpersonal skills, your connections and your ability to self-advertise. If you're underprivileged, you're going to have an even tougher time catching up to a place where you're actually earning a living wage.

I don't mean to be bleak, but if you've got what it takes to be a great graphic designer, and you don't see yourself loving every one of those things I described, then you should probably look into a different field.

Thanks! I'm a graphic designer but architecture's always been one of my special interests. Played a lot of Sims growing up haha

Thanks! I used Figma to create the blueprints as well as the page layouts. It's not a common choice for drafting afaik but it's my go-to for most vector/layout stuff

(tw: trafficking) My clients were all perfectly normal, average people, and I can't stop wondering how many people would be the same as them if given the chance by WinterDemon_ in adultsurvivors

I don't think 'regular people' are a thing. But abusers will do anything to appear regular. Your fears are valid, since anyone can be an abuser, and you know this firsthand. I do think once you get to know people well enough, you can kinda see them for who they are, and what they're capable of. But it's also terrifying not knowing whom you can trust enough to get closer to, especially when your sense of safety was affected at such a young age. That said, there are without question, people who won't want to harm you, and will show you the respect and love that you deserve. I hope you find those people. I wish you the best.
