    1. Hey! How’s it going?

      I’m thinking of starting too and i was wondering if we could share the tips we learned from the videos and references we’ve seen, this whole thing is overwhelming but i think it’d be nice to talk with someone who’s on the same boat as you

    2. @Aur I’d also like this
      I do graphics design,UI and UX aswell as website development and I wanted to create a portfolio that covers em all but don’t know how to start

  1. I will be honest here. For a baby designer like myself who even got his magistrate in Graphic Design a month ago and now looking for a job, I feel very demotivated looking at such videos because their work is too damn good. Meaning that I feel like my work is shit compared to theirs even though many people love what I do.

  2. Wow so much talent good job guys!!
    I’m a new graphic designer and this space is insane….. I am mind blown and so excited to learn and grow in this space. Let me know if you guys are in any groups (discord and such) where we can share get inspiration. I think it’s cool to be a part of a community especially when it’s something you love.

  3. I really loved your channel! I am not a designer but a programmer. It would be really cool to see a video about your thoughts on AI and its influence in creative process, since now, it seems to be going to a place where people and artists may have to incorporate in their works and learn to dig out.

  4. First off, the work in pretty much all these is great. I do have issues with what we’re seeing here though. The vast majority of this work is inherently “cool” due to the subject matter/sector and therefore the clients in question have very little requirements when it comes to practical design. Essentially, a lot of this work is much closer to “art” than it is functional graphic design. Nothing wrong with that at all, but these portfolios aren’t really displaying an array of disciplines to meet specific requirements.

    Also, (and this is more of a statement about an art style, rather than these particular portfolios), this wave of lo-fi, mixed-media, nostalgia graphic design (art) leans heavily on repurposing pre-existing assets. If I were an employer I would really struggle to know what was made by the designer and what was simply taken from elsewhere. A great way to show skills in layout, collage and perhaps font selection, but the main attraction to the work can sometimes be attributed to the repurposed asset (an iconic photograph, a beautifully rendered illustration). I wonder what a lot of this work would look like after a lawyer has had their input.

    1. what are you talking about
      its not immature its people expresing themselves through a creative media. The industry is evolving get used to it

  5. Some of these websites just kill their work. Idk i thought people working in graphic design would know the balance of readability/functionality and artistic style
