I just wanted to add that I haven't used sites like upwork or fiverr but I wanted to share the info that I have, (the good and the bad!) Definitely do your own research into them if you are looking to find clients that way. OK anyway enjoy the video :D
You’re younger than me, Im almost 38 years old and I do have a Bachelors degree in Advertising and been working as a Graphic Designer since I was 22 on my country Dominican Republic but cuz Im not american, I do feel a little scare to go out and find the opportunity to show what I can do here in US. You inspire me!!!
Thanks for sharing your experience! It's very useful to young designers, because there's so many career doubts and sometimes I feel lost. But thankfully, your videos help to ease those doubts and take action :)
Thank you so much for this series! It helps me a ton and I feel so much less alone in this, I used to ask myself at every step if it is the "right" thing to do but you really give great advice and encourage me by saying there is literally no ONE right way. Thank youuuuuu!!
Hello, just started following you and watching the Freelance Series videos. Just wanted to let you know that after watching the second video it automatically jumps to the Fourth Video so I stopped it and went to the third one. Really like what I am seeing so far.
I have a question. Can Behance be considered a good website to show your portfolio? Well, a link to say it is where your portfolio is located. Also, the second question is that do I need a degree in graphic design? I have a degree that included web design. Well, information technology. And not sure if I need one now for graphic design?
Yes you can. I am an interior designer and realized I hate it so much. I want to move to graphic design, I’m watching videos on TH-cam and some courses on Skillshare.
Hi , I wanted to ask you , have you faced any uncomfortable situations with your clients , i mean any harm to your safety. And if yes , please tell me how you dealt with it and how you responded and any further advice you would like to give on this topic
i am strating my freelacing i got two works .but they didn`t said anything yet basically they turned their back ,by just telling i need a logo will you draw i said ok ,, then they said they will send me name and everything \but now they didn`t came back.....idk what to do??
It depends on the project! Usually the client has seen my work so they know what my style is like. I try not to send any free work until a contract has been signed. I’ll go into that in another episode!
@@PaolaKassa I'm not going to lie to you I am 14 years old, I am trying to start a business and I am using the site called bigcartel to make a website. I am 100% broke and I have tried using free logo makers but I have failed miserably.
@@PaolaKassa I found your channel yesterday when I was scrolling looking for some type of way to make my own logo and we don't want to know how that went lmao.

would love to hear more about contracts and how you get paid (process, system, etc)! Great video :)
I want a logo. Make it Nice
-that's my life
“Make it stand out” “Make it POP” 🤢😂
Or, when you ask them for details or the style they want they say: ''I'll leave it to you."
@@Lindlesn send them questionnaire.
Ikr, "make it pop" 🤣
@@Lindlesn and then they don't like it, smh

Yup, behance is awesome
Paola,
for a student going into uni... is it okay to have a bit of everything in my portfolio?
Yes! Always show a good range of work in your portfolio, but only your strongest work.
Hi Paula, how do you deal with client design revisions?
I am an engineering student but I want to do graphic designing. Can I still do it? I really want to..
Hell yeah you can
Yes you can. I am an interior designer and realized I hate it so much. I want to move to graphic design, I’m watching videos on TH-cam and some courses on Skillshare.
thank youu

Hey, I'm a graphic designer as well, if your questions weren't answered I'd be happy to assist. Contact me @crucialvisualz on Instagram
Do you do little samples or free things?
It depends on the project! Usually the client has seen my work so they know what my style is like. I try not to send any free work until a contract has been signed. I’ll go into that in another episode!
