Career Advice For Graphic Designers!

[@lindseycardon1917]

Whenever you meet someone, practice your elevator speech! A quick intro to who you are and if you’re available will kickstart networking even if they don’t need a designer themselves

[@samanthaa3907]

Keep on doing what you’re doing, for young designers like me who literally feel so lost and defeated by the industry

[@richardottley4611]

Here's some encouragement 🤗, don't give up.. you got this.. you are the greatest designer in the world.. you are awesome.. you have so many clients.. you're clients love your work.. 💯👏👏

Hey! I've found your channel recently and I am currently building my portfolio because I barely could do any of the practical stuff in college because I couldnt practice the softwares and the craft itself was very limited to traditional. So... Thank you very much for your content! It's awesome. :)

[@guntheroberholster3311]

I was an Intern for 3 months. Then was offered a month to month contract over 3 yrs at publishing house... I was given the job Assistant Graphic Designer (Code for Intern) leaving the company and having that one my CV hurt my income for 3 years. Other advise if you concidering Freelance its often hard getting back into corporate as you have your own business...

[@johnfrancisco4029]

Those books are not available here in the Philippines. But I saw it on Amazon. If I ordered that, It wouldn't reach my door. C*vid problem 😭

[@rawr1640]

omg thank you so much for this !

[@FarzanasLaw]

Nice video!!!

[@TristArmstrong]

Hey Paola thanks for sharing this and for your words of counsel. Definitely something that I need to think about. Quick question where can I get those books that you mentioned? I'm interested to read them.

[@one7seven]

Hey Paola, got a big interview day tomorrow at a major company and a dream job... very nervous! Any tips on how to be confident presenting yourself and your work?

[@PaolaKassa]

exciting! be yourself, and any work you are presenting just let it speak for itself until they ask you questions- you don’t need to sit there and stare at your work too, you know what it looks like! Your passion and excitement will show through the nervousness, good luck!☺️

[@301Mitoga]

Hey Paola, in your opinion whats the difference in value to employers/customers between designers with a Bachelors, Assosciates, Certificate, and Self-Taught. Do they care? What are advantages and disadvantages of each category? Thanks.

[@OsiMacislive]

Gorgeous n smart bet 🔥

[@kamertonaudiophileplayer847]

Will you consider a payment in equity only?

[@ananyaganguly1818]

Hii! Is a four year design course worth it or is it the same as a four month course??

[@PaolaKassa]

a four year course is definitely different than four months! But it’s all about finding what works for you

[@CryptoBlog230]

you are so cute

[@ch1oe374]

i feel like i found your videos at the exact right time i needed to! i'm a freshman majoring studio art, concentration in graphic design, and i'm contemplating the validity of my future degree. thank you so much!

[@brnrmr_]

I've been following you for 2 years, I think... I like your vibe and I learn a lot from your videos. Keep growing, you are doing an amazing job! People are always going to find a way to hate, so. Just let em be miserable with themselves.

[@cuantoganaunyoutubervideos2596]

Hello Paola! I am also a designer. Greetings!

[@annajay694]

How can I get some of the book

[@rjprecious]

Thanks for sharing your exp and tips ! @paula Kassa i just started How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul !

[@robertoloaizaalamo4258]

What such a wonderful video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, talent, art, charisma and video with the world!

[@jazzz9226]

Hi Paola I found out about your channel yesterday and I absolutely love it♥ Thank you so much for all the tips, advices and recommendations you give us! I'm just getting started in the career and I'm so excited.

[@PaolaKassa]

Yay glad you found me!

[@larissaxmurillo]

Ah just the video i needed!! Thanks Paola!

[@emmaakinyi9399]

Paola, is it true that you can't be a high paying designer without having the printing side of it?

[@PaolaKassa]

I haven’t really heard that, but learning print design is really beneficial! If you’re just a freelancer though and not working with a team it would be hard to provide those services

[@choxxi]

Hi, I recently made a career change into GD and I'm searching for advice, tips and guidance. Your video was really helpful, I'll definitely read those books. Thank you so much 💛

[@paperboy3452]

@Paola Kassa Hi! I really want to do graphic design as a job... but I can’t draw to save my life, what should I do😫?

[@desology444]

i loved this video! it really helped a lot! can i request a video on collaborations? like tips, where to start, how get collaborations with people, what the process it like, etc? i want to start collaborating but i don’t know where to start! 💗

[@takeawayplease6229]

Not me literally buying all the books you suggest and getting my motivation off of your videos :D Hopefully I'll make it! I'm having really big problems giving up easily and not having the right mental approach (especially now in this time), do you have any videos on that yet? (I'll look around) if not, that would make a highly appreciated video :)

[@outresru7751]

as a young aspring designer, i'm glad i found your channel, thanks for your advices :)

[@nadinemeshref5912]

thank you so much that was helpful and insightful

[@Fuzballoffur]

I am sad to hear you are getting hate comments. I really appreciate all of the resources you have to offer, and I hope the bullies don’t get to you too much! You are worthy of peace 💕💕

[@ashleym1565]

I’m a stay at home mom looking for my next step with my daughters heading into school. I just found your channel and I’m already getting so excited to watch more of your videos! I also bought one of the books you suggested!

[@بدريهماجد-ح7ت]

Is the graphic design make the desiner rich?

[@Raquel-eh3pd]

I'm really sorry to hear about the hate. I know it can be unavoidable with the internet but it's still sad to hear. Just know your content means a lot and motivates and helps me when I'm feeling down as a designer, carving my own path. Also I love seeing the rise in diversity of gender and race in designers! Unfortunately there is still a huge stigma, especially with female and non-binary designers, that the hate will come but keep doing you! Please know it does help and benefit in the end of the day ❤️

[@designbarbiana]

I totally love your points and advices!

[@MassageWithLiz]

Thank you so much! I’m looking for a program to accelerate my illustrator skills from beginner to advanced. Plz let me know if anything comes to mind!
