My Design Portfolio | Graphic Design Major

[@daniyalkhan5537]

Hi, Dena, I am a Graphic Designer (a beginner ).I was finding video for how to create my portfolio and found yours, its amazing! Thanks for sharing your Work. (y)

[@DenaNguyen]

Daniel Bravo Ah that’s great to hear! Glad you found it helpful. 😊

[@alexanderpineda7725]

I can sincerely say that you are a great designer. I saw your senior portfolio first, then I came to see this one for curiosity. Your hard work paid off. Best wishes!

[@libertysdesignlab8064]

It's great to see your portfolio! There are different styles and uses of medium which is great when designing being able t distinguish your visuals and using them with purpose! Great job!

[@luckyarcenas2414]

YOUR OUTPUTS ARE AMAZING 💕💕✨✨ I LOVED YOUR MAGAZINE DESIGN AND ALSO THE TYPOGRAPHY ONES

[@shorx9199]

You've definitely drawn alot before and painted because those are to a good standard

[@shorx9199]

I'm sorry but that was a big cap

[@danianla12]

WOW! Your work is truly amazing. I really enjoyed watching your work and your video. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@DenaNguyen]

Thank you for the kind words, Daniela! Glad you enjoyed it. Is there any other types of videos you would like to see? 😊

[@katyakirillova9863]

Hey Dena! Thank you for such an interesting and inspiring video. You are amazing

[@SalleyneDesign]

Your portfolio looks great from what I was able to see. It was super hard to really see anything not only due to the glare but because you were shaking each one around and didnt actually hold any of them still lol. But thanks for sharing! I never went to design school but always wondered what was required.

[@artisticash5045]

I’m 30 and just getting started in my degree for visual communication. I just regret taking so long to decide this is what I wanted. I’m hoping when I do start my portfolio I can be as good as you.

[@TheGreenPoncle]

EEEEYYY!! I'm also 30 years old and am now looking into and just trying out Graphic Design/Illustration. I totally get the whole feeling of regret of not doing it sooner but we got this!

[@artisticash5045]

@@TheGreenPoncle I believe in both of us! We got this!

[@selviranabila4644]

Hi, i just wanted to cheer you on! Picking up new skills can be intimidating, but your ability to learn new skills just comes down to motivation and i'ts never too late to get started on learning new things. It's not going to be as hard as you think it will be and i'm sure your portfolio will be amazing!

[@rotes3106]

It seems you had a great college life becuase the works are awesome 👍 great job Dena.so inspiring.

[@mspaintdesigner9876]

Well done your image of the astronaut, one point perspective drawing and you're typography booklet looks fantastic in my opinion. What advice do you have for someone who has a passion for Graphic design but can't study it now due to time constraints is their any online qualifications you could recommend?

[@tariqdesigns1219]

Hi Dena, i really like your video, really helpful. But I have a question you have included different stuff like arts and design, but I'm not a good artist so what if i only include my design projects? is it fine, or do they want us to include everything?

[@fletch6438]

I’m in year 9, it’s my options soon and I love graphic design like photoshop and logo design and such but I’m not very good at art does it matter ??

[@thatguywhodesigns]

05:20 loved when she said " Not much of a Drawer"😂😂

[@RatedGames]

Hey there I’m thinking of doing graphic design but I’m scared as I can’t even draw or paint anymore but I’m good with software’s. And I am creative. Any tips? 🤠

[@Gia-smith]

Rated Games hi! in my opinion you don’t have to be the best drawer/painter to be a good graphic designer! im not the best illustrator at all but i love using adobe cc and other softwares to bring my ideas to life! i promise you that imperfections will work out in your favor when it comes to design! hope this gives you some confidence to try it out:)

[@RatedGames]

@@Gia-smith thanks Gia! 💓

[@RachelsArcadeRoom11]

I love the color wheel photo

[@simonmattson3574]

Hey Dena, I'm looking to apply for some schools this year and was curious about what school you went to?

[@tienganhvacuocsong7943]

Hi Dena, I’m Thuy (a Vietnamese like you). I’ve been here for 6 years. I’ve just finished ESOL classes . I’d love to be a graphic designer like you, but I’m not sure what I will learn at this major. I’m not good at drawing, but I can use photoshop a little bit. Please give me some advice.

[@audreymusk]

I'm quite shocked. I went to University for Graphic Design too, but in our university we learned more communication theory and zero Graphic Design or Advertising practicals, no projects except two in our last year, whch were desperately taken up by a new lecturer. I regret the amount of money I spent on pursuing a course that did not equip me for the career I had chosen. No wonder I struggle with design. I have my BSc Degree in Graphic Design and Advertising, yet it qualified me more for diplomatic work than for Graphic Design.

[@liz7203]

You probably won’t see this but I plain on taking a graphic design course next year and I’m absolutely terrified! I’m in year 12 atm (finishing in two weeks) and I’m taking the course at university next year. before I can enter, I must create a portfolio and I don’t know where to start! And I feel like I’m going to be rejected 😭😭😭 do you have to be a SUPER pro at designing?

[@DonovanGogarty]

Hi Dena! lol I used to watch your duct tape vids all the time back in the day. I just found your new videos randomly, I ended up in the design world as well, unfortunately just dropped Uni, but still focusing on the field. Just saying hi and happy to see you're back! Awesome breadth of samples btw

[@DenaNguyen]

Hi Donovan! Ah yes I remember you had some of the cleanest wallets ever! Sometimes uni isn't necessary but that's so awesome to see you continue to pursue a design career as well. Best of luck to you! We should keep in touch 😁

[@MegaMikey]

Wonderful video! Are you currently employed or looking for work or just freelancing? I'm a little worried on what my move should be after community college and if I will find a job.

[@DenaNguyen]

MegaMikey I am currently employed with 2 jobs, but I also freelance/look for work from time to time! My recommendation is finding out what kind of work you like to do, then break it down into steps you need to do in order to get there. If you don’t know yet, that’s okay. Just experiment and try out a lot of different things so at least you know what you like/don’t like. 😊

[@yaminiswahar8183]

Hey, What do you use to cover each mount board? What is the transparent film?

[@darriusthornton5070]

Love your art

[@skydyleyw0037]

Nice work! Do you think employers or industry professionals prefer to look at digital portfolios or hard-copy portfolios? Or is that just dependent on certain things

[@jaune-soleil]
