@@DURRELL.RASHAD you’re welcome💃🏾! Funny thing is that I didn’t realize that I was into graphic designing, but just thought it was just _“illustration”_ for about 7 years. Yet as I am on here and I have seen other artists’ work (including yours) have *expanded* me that it’s in *_alignment_* with graphic design and overall *_art_* too.

It honestly depends on a few factors, the communication with clients, the work load & the payment. I find that shorter projects seem to take the longest because of one of those 3 unfortunately. But in a perfect world I would say basic projects should take 2-3 weeks for sure. Longer projects 4-5 weeks

Another possible vector of protecting and identifying your work could be to embed metadata into the image file. Obviously it would also be better to be doing the sort of things you mentioned in your video but, barring anything else, embedding identifying metadata into the graphic file could help to prove ownership after the fact. Just a thought.

This video is very underrated, and unfortunately relatable to many. out of my few friends, one of them have negative traits and perception of choosing friends, and I chose that I will not hang out or play with him anymore because he just doesn't have any positive hobbies or things to do, unless he gets better some way. I recommended him to seek treatment, but he kept denying thinking that he's okay regardless. Anyway, it's a really great video. Keep it up ❤

My gosh can I relate!! The past two years I’ve been going through what I like to call a “transformation.” I’ve been healing trauma, now I really like myself. Since all my changes all my friends who knew me prior to the transition have fallen to the waist side. My final relationship is a friend of 15 years, she gossips, is insecure, never celebrates my wins, and if I do have success she will struggle to say “that’s great.” She has been copying me lately which is creepy, I have decided to distance myself completely from her. She is the final friend who had to “go.” I now have no friends, however all those friends represented the “old me,” thus making room for healthy friends to represent the new me. Thanks for sharing ❤

Being around envious friends, jealous friends or family... etc is dangerouns and im glad you're choosing you over the BS!! Much love to that & cheers to new beginnings!

Hey i would like to get some advice. Im 19 about to turn 20 this year. Im currently in pre university and im at a cross roads. I really love illustration, drawing and designing, its something ive always been drawn to, and i dont think i could see myself in any other field. Im thinking about going to university for graphic design, mostly because i would like to learn graphic design in a more structured and formal environment, rather than being self tought, but im not sure if i should because as you said in the video that it does not really require a degree to be in the industry. I guess my question is , would it be a smart move to go to design school or should i not. Also do you think that ai will replace the role of a graphic designer, because thats something im worrying about too.
@DURRELL.RASHAD
@DURRELL.RASHAD Ай бұрын
Yo thank you for watching & this is an awesome question! I can’t answer that for you, but I can say. You should do what works best for you, me personally I went to a community college and was introduced to graphic design there. I never knew about it before that, I quickly realized that for me I was better off self taught. But being self taught without courses (back then) came with pros & cons. (I might make a video on this). One pro was I learned at my own pace, a con was that I missed out on some technical aspects of designs that I had to learn later. My brain has always done its own thing so being self taught worked better for me, but I know plenty of designers that went to college and THRIVED in structured environments. It just didn’t work for me, but it has A TON of benefits.
@DURRELL.RASHAD
@DURRELL.RASHAD Ай бұрын
Also, I’m making a video on this as well, but I wouldn’t worry too much about AI in the future. I think that every designer should learn AI & use aspects of it to make themselves more valuable but it won’t/can’t replace us because the human experience & need for connection gets in the way of that. So just work on your skills and keep getting better so that you can’t be replaced!
