I am really really proud of this article that I just published about what it's like to be a graphic designer. I was able to interview 6 talented designers to be a part of this and give a realistic view into the life of a graphic designer. Thank you to .luedke .muldoon .co Farah Al Aqrabawi Batzorig Tsergiinkhuu Chelsea Strong & for being a part of this 🙏

In this article I asked each designer to share what type of work they do, what kind of clients they work with, and also give a full outline of their entire day. People who say graphic designers don't work are clearly delirious because each of these designers grind it out and create some amazing work while doing so 🤘

Updated an article on my website callthedesignguy.com on how many projects should be in your design portfolio website. You can check it out at the link in my bio ☝️

Here is a shortlist:
1-3 years of exp: 1-3 projects is good
3-5 years of exp: 3-5 projects
4-6 years of exp: 4-6 projects
10+ years of exp: 6+ projects

What do you think is the perfect number of projects for your portfolio website?

It is so easy to just throw every project you have into your portfolio, but should you? Sometimes less is more and the same goes for your portfolio.

Do you pay for all of your fonts as a designer?

I remember starting off trying to do everything I could to seek out the free font plugs and while I still appreciate a freebie here and there. When it comes to fonts, it is important to compensate the creators of the tools we use everyday. Not to mention ensuring you have the correct licensing as well.

Check out the full article to learn more about the different licensing options, how to get your clients to pay for your fonts, and more.

Fonts are tools that we use everyday as graphic designers and making sure we pay for those tools is important. Here's why!

Graphic Designers stop doing this on your portfolio website. It’s not doing you any favors. Designers and creatives need to tell stories with their work to impress clients over and talkin about your projects in this way is not going to do that #thedesigntips #dailydesigntips #graphicdesigntips #designertips #designtipsandtricks #graphicdesignportfolio #designportfolio #portfoliodesign #designinglife #studentdesigner #dailydesignpick #graphicdesignstudent #designstudents #designtools #freelancertips #freelancedesign #designerfreelancer #freelancergraphicdesigner #freelancedesigners #freelancerdesigner

Graphic Designers if you use Adobe Portfolio for your design portfolio website try using Behance instead as it has more features and a better community that will help you early on in your creative career #thedesigntips #dailydesigntips #graphicdesigntips #designertips #designtipsandtricks #graphicdesignportfolio #designportfolio #portfoliodesign #designinglife #studentdesigner #dailydesignpick #graphicdesignstudent #designstudents #designtools #freelancertips #freelancedesign #designerfreelancer #freelancergraphicdesigner #freelancedesigners #freelancerdesigner
