Really love it whenever you make videos or solo podcasts like these. It's insightful to hear you share your experiences working within the industry while also giving genuine advice for other designers. The video definitely helps put things into perspective when it comes to working and using your time.
Appreciate the love!
Agreed!
You are such a beacon of light in this community - there’s very little content online I look forward to seeing, but your videos are so transparent and REAL, it’s hard not to love your outlook. Respect!
Thank you so much, I’ll keep trying to do my thing on here🤘🏻
AI helped me a ton when I was working in agency, it sped up my workflow by getting rid of "blank canvas syndrome" and I was using midjourney v3 which is essentially just blobs of color and shape but nothing cohearent. the shapes led way to ideas that I then refined. like getting an Idea for a painting by looking into the clouds
100% the same for me when it comes to burn out. It’s hard to stay motivated sometimes. I learned how to track my brain when it tries to tell me that there are no more ideas to execute. What I do in those situations is very simple, I basically try to escape the same pattern of behavior by introducing myself to some new very spontaneous experience. Just to be able to shift my paradigm enough to be able to see all things from a new perspective.
I don't usually comment at videos, but I just had pause for a while and do it! I like how chill and honest you are, talking quality stuff that come to your mind all connected to the work process and graphic design and sharing a lot of your concerns about yourself and being self consious and critical (which is great on one hand because it makes you get better, but don't get used to it so much), but on the other side everyone here looks how good you're doing! I enjoy your "rambling" videos as well so much and keeeeep doing more of it, please pleasee share your tought process, it's so valuable! :D respect
Thank you for the link brother I really have been watching every video over and over it helps me know not to stop designing even if I feel its challenging. (:
I absolutely LOVED this podcast! probably one of my favorite ones I've watched so far!
So funny hearing you talk about your own experiences as an upcoming designer and also the heat lmaooo. I loved all of the topics you covered in this episode, can't wait for the next one
Appreciate it Connor, happy to hear all of you resonating with my own struggles coming up. We all been there so I’m happy to help out when I can along the way
This was wonderfully insightful and personal. Appreciate these type of videos where you get more vulnerable. Keep up the great work.
Just got into your TH-cam content. I appreciate the visuals, they are providing insightful direction for formatting. I also push myself to burnout as a morning person. As an artist & designer I am giving myself multiple industry roles. I am discovering the versatile artwork flow equipments me to adapt to the maturing Ai circulation in the market. Cheers to making it to your own thing!
always enjoy your solo podcasts and just hearing your thoughts! i think you’re really right with designers not letting themselves be bad and i’d say that’s what i regret the most about my design school experience is not letting myself experiment more and explore and moreso feeling a pressure to have something good to show potential employers and honestly just trying to feel like i’m good enough compared to my peers. id also say social media can be great for inspiration and connection but it has led to more comparison and negative feelings in my own life. now i’m navigating what being a creative looks like without social media and if i’m missing out by not having it. anyways, great ep!
Appreciate all the kind words. You’re def right social media puts a lot of
Pressure on us to only make super good work, but sometimes you gotta experiment and learn from mistakes
I really appreciated this video Jesse. Its motivating. keep the content flowing
Hadn't watched your videos in over a year, but have come page to your page and loving the content. Also, I relate so much to this freelance design life with the ups and downs!
One thing I’ve run into in my career is shiny object syndrome or always looking for the “next thing.” I was intensely passionate about design for about 4 years when I was learning it and going through college and getting my first job. Then, that job wasn’t so fulfilling and I started trying to develop a video game on the side (which I suck at lol). Now, I got a cool agency design job and it’s pretty rewarding, but I still struggle finding myself in design again. Watching your channel has been awesome for me to feel like I have a design friend (I know, so sad) and you have some great ideas.
Overall, it’s cool to see where you are at after so much grit and I think picking a lane and sticking to your guns is the way to go. Thanks Jesse
Most def, it's always good to try and sit back, reflect, and be grateful. I get wrapped up in looking for the next best thing as well.
Thanks for this man. Couple years out of school now and been on salary for the last two. You were spot on for what that can be like. Watching your vids has inspired me a lot just bc it sounds like your path is somewhat similar to mine. Thanks for showing us that those feelings are normal and expected. Giving me the will to push on and make dope shit for me and remember why I got into this in the first place 🙏🙏🙏
Just about to graduate and planning on binge-watching all of your videos. Thank you so much for all the useful advice you share! :)
appreciate that!
I really like your vids. And the hot weather rants were funny
I'm an animator but I always like hearing your general outlook on working. Keep it up man!
Appreciate it Josh!
dude you've been such an inspiration to me lately. ive been enjoying ur videos during the day when i want to gear up to be productive. im getting hopeful for what i want to create on my channel
I appreciate that!
Very therapeutic podcast. I spent the summer going hard on client work, and I'm dealing with the burnout now. It's tough suddenly having free time, but not having the energy to get back to my passion projects. Thanks for sharing where you're at Jesse, good to know I'm not alone!
Much love, happy that one resonated with ya
I watched this video multiple times to help refresh my brain. As a GD, who also runs his own clothing brand, these problems of Creatives Block and working in the same place you live Is very relatable and can be a distraction. So anytime I am having problems I always come watch your videos for a fresh reset. thank you fam
Much Love!
Always good to listen to advice and point of view of a other freelance graphic designer, thanks bro keep going 📈
appreciate that Alan, thanks for listening!
your work and videos have influenced and helped me so much
You might not even understand how awesome what you do really is. There are so many designers that are just starting out and are not connected to the design community, watching your stuff really helps with putting things into perspective even if you have no one around you IRL to give you advice. and it also shows that this career is possible if you put in the work and take it seriously.
It's awesome that you are putting your time into social media because you are becoming a role model for so many young people and I bet you that in 5,10, 15 or whatever more years this all will pay off! Thank you for sharing this, you are awesome!
Thank you so much, for the kinds words:)
Thanks for sharing your valuable experience.
Thanks! Your video content is the safest and most useful
good work king, love you
you hit my soul with this lol keep grindin homie
This was so helpful!! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
“I just get it done” nice!
Amazing stuff man always good to ear from fellow freelancers. We all have our problems and it's good to ear other problems from other people. Thanks for this.
Much appreciated!
thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb
I am in the early stages of graphic design, self learning and fulfilling all my curiosities in this realm.. Your videos are awesome and I learn so much from them. Keep it up. I am aiming to freelance and create some work like yours.
Thank you so much, I'm happy to help out!
lol loved the eureka and marinate comment ... loving the videos my guy! i am a designer for a memorial place. I've been designing since 09' and this company for 3 years. I used to freelance right after college.
Love the channel. Glad to see a graphic design channel that centers around more modern, edgey design
Thank you!
This was genuinely one of the best videos I’ve ever watched
Very grateful for your thoughts 🙏
Thank you so much!
Ruminate/marinate 🙌 great recovery and made sense as well
Another one thank you bro
Yessir🤘🏻
I love the AI tools in Adobe specifically, it means I don't have to do as many crappy tasks in my job makes things a bit easier and faster. A lot of my friends who are also designers or artists don't like the idea of AI or are scared of it. I'm just jumping head first into the AI stuff to learn as much as I can.
I'm a big Jesse Nyberg fan. Really cool guy. This won't be a highly watched video but people like me appreciate it! It really is hard to find real people on TH-cam.
That’s very kind of you:)
Hi Jesse!! I am new in your channel and I want to say you that your content is so great!!
One question: where the most part of your incomes comes from?? I mean, from poster design? Logo design?? Thanks man!!
A question that doesn't come up with AI art is copyright/ the ethics of using artist inspired prompts. A lot of people use living or dead artists to influence their outputs, which begs the question of whether the works created are original or ripping off the artists/ designers.
As someone who uses both traditional 3D art and AI together, it's something that will definitely make creating much faster too, I honestly really wish people would stop being so thirsty over replacing current artists with it, instead focus on how we can make the act of creating + design more fun alongside fulfilling over the grind/ hustle culture we currently have.
I guess I am considered the OG crowd!
What book were u referring to at 5:15? What book was it
I use Chatpgt for emails and presentations
Thanks to you
Gotchu!
buen documental buen video excelente exitos
wait am i cringe for using the liquify tool 😂 i think I’ve mastered it in a pretty cool way to go past just the abstract liquifying
works gj
My brain is overheating
🙏🏼
Do u need to be good in art to be a successful graphic designer?😩 pls reply
I don't think you NEED to be good at art but it doesn't hurt, all depends on what you mean by "art" as well
You are the Cus D'Amato to the Mike Tyson I'm shaping myself to be. ❤️🇵🇭
❤❤❤❤❤
Interesting to hear your take on AI, i know this is an older video but i still dpnt think AI is a threat. Ive even talked to some non creatives who said just yesterday " ya AI isnt replacing designers any time soon, this is so shit 😂" like really not impressive right now. And honestly even concept i think that is actually one of the more safe fields. Ai is pulling from sources already made, so the concepts it makes will just pull from the same produced items and to me will quickly become stale and lifeless. Just like you said in a newer video about how you have to go do interesting things to create interesting art, otherwise if you stay in your room and absorb the same stuff then what you produce will eventually be boring and reitterations of what you already did, to spice it up you have to be inspired. Ai pulling from the same bucket to me will be dry and stale without actual artists continuing to put stuff in
god bless u xdd
Bro if AI replaces designers, while im still in college imma lose my shit dawg
Am just starting out cmon???
Your soft's cool btw
Nah...don't even compare AI with nft or bitcoin or other sh***t 🤣
But, I agree we don't need to worry a lot but, we need to device laws & stuff to regulate this; because it is breaching copyright laws. People have even filed law suits in California state I think agains the companies.
