Dawggggg! You are speaking my language. I stopped UI design cos it felt so redundant!

[@CRXSH]

Where / How do you find good design studios and in-house brands? and what is the demand like?

Hey, I'm a graphic designer but the job I have right now is to run a tiktok account for a sports marketing agency. To be honest, I hate it. What can I do to find a permanent graphic design job when there aren't any available right now?

You need to work on your portfolio and send it around recruitment agencies… if you don’t get responses is probably because you need to improve your work or website

[@aestheticaryan763]

@@designthescenes But, how to get pieces for our portfolio as a beginner graphic designer? Do you recommend design competitions?

[@designthescenes]

@@aestheticaryan763 for instance that's a way to display how you think, they give you a brief and you propose a solution. There are websites that create fake briefs just to get you started. The issue is that you dont have anyone to share your work with, but at least its something. You could explain what the brief was and you can explain why you make the decisions you made.

I mean the different types of design can be pretty subjective as to what you prefer to do. Personally love app design and Figma. Plus with components in Figma, you can now change the color or shape or whatever of those 120 buttons all at once in one click. So not so bad anymore on that point you made.

[@designthescenes]

The video is directed to people who want to be creative conceptual designers, not to app designers, so it makes sense you disagree. Figma is great and I recommend it, Figma allows you to design everything not just apps. And the components part is only if you made that component for one thing, but I have been in projects where we had to make 60 components and change them all later, it really depends.

@@designthescenes Oh I thought I had noticed this channel was for early/junior designers since most of your topics are portfolios, mistakes to avoid, and productivity tips. All those things easily apply to any designer more or less so I was surprised to see a subjective video calling out certain design avenues as boring.

Thank you for your tipps. I was just chatting with the Apple Support. They told me. Everything like CPU-and GPU-Core, RAM and SSD is all together in the new Chips. sIn your case we consideer the RAM the most important and it should be 16 GB. You can save money by not investing in too intense storage. The difference is not between 256 and 512 GB storage. What would you tell or ask the support?

Hi Alex, I actually have an odd question. This fall I went back to school to start my degree in Advertising Design. But I wanted to know if you think there will be any benefit in taking an Intro to Architecture class?

[@designthescenes]

Advertising and architecture are two different things. I would go for one of the other, but if you are in doubt maybe an intro to Architecture could be beneficial, perhaps you even discover you like architecture more than advertising. In the end it is your call to make ; )

[@beansproutuncreative]

@@designthescenes Okay, thank you
