AI/PS which is better??
Depends on what type of desig your doing, web vs print vs motion. My default is illustrator but I use PS a lot as well
I studied marketing bachelors degree. I’m doing short courses on graphic design. This channel is perfect for me. One more subscriber.
Great 👍

Well to be honest I’ve been in a rock lately with choosing freelance graphic design as my profession for my rest of my life. I was scared with into the things in requires for the clients but when I think about it I was in a really bad place because I having self-esteem issues lately and try to fix them but now I just going back to this again in studying graphic design work and even now I’m just going to be into 100% in it thanks to this video. Thank you so much it really helped me a lot thanks.
I really wonder about whether aging is a problem for designer?
Logically, I think old graphic designers will have more software skills and hand-on experience, so they are more advantageous.
It’s not like developers, whose technical coding skill will be outdate very fast, if you do not learn hard.
That’s why I am thinking of pursuing a career in graphic design, rather than IT engineers, though I know IT field pays higher.
yes they pay higher and there are lot’s of vaccanies for a developer as compared to graphic designer
@Durgesh Chore But I see that there are so many programing languages and IT areas. It seem to be a trade off, higher pay but keep learning and learning.
@Andy Lê learning will be there in every field you go, whether you pursue graphic design or development, if you stop learning and keep aside programming anywhere you will go you will get rejected
what happened to your eye?
Probably allergies or lighting.
I’m going to uni next year and i’m stuck on what career path let alone course i’m supposed to follow how do i know graphic design is my calling and not just a hobby
At one point I thought I’d be a graphic designer. But then I told myself it’d be too difficult to get into without a degree compared to coding. So I decided to pursue coding. Am I right? Graphic design has a level of subjectivity to it, so how could I know when I’m good enough to land a job? Coding, on the other hand, isn’t artistic so it’s easier to measure my progress and know where I stand.
Graphic Design can be self taught, but you’ll want to attend a design school for real world challenges and feedback.
I’m so glad I found this video. I’m not even a third of the way through and I wanted to say THANKS. I teach graphic design at a high school in So Cal and I simultaneously run a freelance design business. We share the same passion for the work of design. It’s more like a hobby to me, and I think that attitude has rubbed off on some of my students. I hear it from them and their parents. Thanks again for this video. I’ll be sharing it in class this week.
comments like this that keep me going! Thank you.
Can I still learn graphic design as being above 41 years. I feel I am too old for this. Adrian, what do you suggest to me?
Never too old! Cmon you got this, many of the best didn’t start their businesses or trades till way later in life. I suggest you follow your passion if you want it bad enough nothing can stop you!
Hi can I get the link
Did no one else notice he didn’t at any point tell us why being a graphic designer is a good job; he preached, did some self promo then talked in circles i think i just watched an ad
Honestly, I know a lot of people who regret choosing this career and the reason is always the same – it’s the same reason why I find myself struggling as well although I’ve been acing at school: The time to money ratio does not add up. Most designers work 40 to 58 hours a week and the money is hardly enough to feed oneself anymore. It doesn’t matter if you live in a big city or a rural town anymore, the jobs are scarce everywhere and your biggest competition are not senior graphic designers who have a lot of experience – it’s young, priviledged students that could spend their youths with the newest software and with all the time in the world to learn it. There’s no way for you to keep up when you spend your time caring for your grandparents or having other hobbies even.
In my eyes, one can hardly keep up with the constant pace that media is evolving because if you’re working your 9-5, you won’t have the time to learn more software, you’ll hardly find the time to even live life. There’s this constant dread of not being able to keep up which is not a feeling but a scary reality. With this pressure in relation to what little companies pay you for your hard work, I do regret choosing this career. Also, I’ve been both freelancing and have been working an 8-5 (which were my regular hours but realistically I had crunchtime where I worked from 6 to 5 and on weekends as well with no additional pay). Most people asked me why I still worked at my job and the answer is both simple and depressing – Everyone of my classmates, everyone in the industry I know works like this. This could be less severe in other countries but from what I’ve heard, it’s quite similar everywhere, unfortunately..
Good counter points, thank you
Good 1, brother..like ur podcast and giving confidence to graphic community 😎👌
