What’s the thing your most proud of creating.

Asked by Dj over 5 years ago

Well it is something I am in the process of creating now. It is a self project that I have been working on for years ...and not far off from completing. But it is not something I can reveal yet ...so unfortunately no one will know just yet ....lol

hello I'm having a website designed. When viewing on a smart phone the lettering looks fine but when you view it on a PC the lettering looks too small. What could be done so it looks uniform on all platforms? Thanks

Asked by James over 8 years ago

Unfortunately I am just a graphic designer that is purely creative ...I have no knowledge on technical issues with web design. You will need to ask the web designer that is designing your website. Sorry I cannot help

How do you go about getting your first clients?

I was given my first Grahic Design job working for a family friend. I was asked make a logo ,business cards, header and also a website . I’m not really sure what I my price range should be since this is my first time creating things like this.

UPDATE...I have now written a guide to becoming a graphic designer. It is available as Kindle or in print ...check it out here... AMAZON LINK . Well as it is for a family friend I guess that are expecting special rates ...but always keep to the same rates as any client. Without knowing where you live and what your experience is it is hard to give you a rate that you should charge. If you are very good you should go in with a high price then negotiate if need be. I am in Europe and a few years ago I used to charge 400 euros for logo design and throw in the business card for free. But nowadays it is hard to charge that sort of money especially if it is a small company. I now charge 180 euros for logo design and 60 euros for business cards (no longer thrown in for free). As for websites that is something I do not design so do not know a price to charge. So you really need to base your price on your experience or capabilities but do not undersell yourself. Hope this helps.

Printing a 12x8 banner on fabric - I had to change the color of a logo and had to rasterize it in Photoshop - will rasterizing a vector image cause the image to print any different on the banner? Thanks in advance!

Asked by Kim about 7 years ago

UPDATE...I have now written a guide to becoming a graphic designer. It is available as Kindle or in print ...check it out here... AMAZON LINK . I am guessing the logo was very big, so the photoshop file must have been big so should not have a problem with quality. But if the logo is small and you have rasterized it you may have a pixellation problem when you enlarge it for the banner. It is always best to keep it as an original vector and change the colour in a vector software. Also make sure it is CMYK and not RGB. Hope this helps

What are your favorite tasks in your profession?

Asked by MarieAbend about 7 years ago

UPDATE...I have now written a guide to becoming a graphic designer. It is available as Kindle or in print ...check it out here... AMAZON LINK . I love doing illustrations in Adobe Illustrator ...they are a challenge but I love seeing the end result. All design projects are great to do especially when your clients are so happy with what you have done for them. Newspapers can be a bit boring and some magazines that have 100's of pages ...but they pay the bills so need to be done.
