    I went to school for Graphic Design and most of what I know is through that program. However, I have also learned a lot by watching videos online and talking to different designers. I think what's really important for a young designer is a strong portfolio and it doesn't matter if you have a degree or not.

    As an absolute beginner, my number one problem is coming up with ideas or not knowing where to start. Idk what I’d do next after making a logo, mocking set ups, what fonts I could use, if I need to include photography or how can I incorporate all of them into a portfolio and I’m honestly overwhelmed since graphic design is my upcoming major but idk where to even begin even after a simple sketch.

    Well rounded and then find something you're passionate about. I'm a graphic designer at a law firm and I know I want to work for a company/firm and don't like the idea of freelance personally. I have a focus in web design and that's also something I specialize in ❤️ I love the work, I feel more comfortable as a full time graphic designer and not a freelancer! Just as another note for people coming into the field and aren't comfortable with the idea of freelancing.

    Hi Paola! I've been following and watching your videos for a while now. I'm a frustrated Graphic Designer and you and Kel Lauren's channel have been my main motivation and source if i'm feeling a creative block going on. But i've been having a really hard time freelancing and looking for clients have just been really terrible for me and i just can't seem to land a permanent or a long time client to work with. Basically i just want to know what your process is as to how to grow and learn new things. It's something i've been struggling lately and i feel like my portfolio just revolves around the same style of design and i feel like growth is something that i need BADLY. What kind of things do you do, or how do you get started when you want to learn something new? If you watch tutorials what do you keep in mind to make something "Personal"? Thanks for continually reaching out to people like me who wants a place in the creative field! I appreciate your videos so much!

    Is graphic design and visual design same?

    I like to feel like a "self taught" cause in some ways I am, I'm on University studying graphic design, but I actually want to be a illustrator so, as I know graphic design is not specifically made for learning to do illustration I actually learn more from stuff when I research on internet, anyway, I feel like the formal studies are helpful to make the plan, but definitely research and the energy you put to learn is what actually makes you learn, anyway I'm not sure that "self taught" is the way to call it cause there's someone that wrote the articles or recorded the videos that have helped Lear something, like, that people is for me the professors haha that's why I feel like nobody can be a total "self taught" but yeah... It's important to do stuff by your side

      I think it's great to start out and try programs before going into school! If you don't want to invest in them yet at least watch videos! It's always good to be ahead of the game. When I was 16 I started using photoshop and it helped a lot to create a few digital pieces for my portfolio!
