[SPECIAL] How to get to work as a GRAPHIC DESIGNER with EL MAHDI AYOUD!
Get to work!
This daily motivation is for the people that currently do nothing but sit at home, eat, sleep and repeat. Get to work! It doesn't matter what you're interested in: making music, graphic design, motion design, marketing, cryptocurrencies, DJ-ing; anything you do, counts as productivity and a step in the right (successful) direction!
Let's say you're an aspiring graphic designer, then to these 3 things:
1. Download Photoshop CC and look up 5 tutorials on how to make a logo for YOURSELF, for YOUR brand.
2. Ask around if your FRIENDS and/or FAMILY need a design made FOR FREE. After you've made the designs for those people, post them on your social medias (Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, anything!) together with your logo. This way you create a 'sort of' beginners portfolio for your potential clients.
3. The last, and hardest step is: finding actual clients that you can charge. Even I still have trouble with this step since there's a global pandemic going around the world, but the key factor to this is to KEEP ON GOING, just as I explained in yesterdays Daily Motivation. You can find clients through LinkedIn, searching for startup companies that still don't have a logo, send them a mail and hope for the best. If you don't receive a(n) (positive) answer; try changing up your message/mail a bit.
Obviously these steps are for GRAPHIC DESIGNERS, so if you're not into that subject, try to change up the list a bit to match your interest! The main thing to learn out of todays Daily Motivation is to get your A$$ of the ground and GET TO WORK!
We hope everyone achieves their goals, together with CREEM.
