Well to be honest, if you don't people to copy your personal data then you should not be putting it in a signature. Photoshop is what you use to create an image to insert into your email program or you can type it as live text.

Have you ever made a comic book?

Asked by Morty about 5 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 . Actually no, but I do cartoons and also have put together a couple of kids colouring books that I sell 'print on demand' on Amazon. I am in the middle of a 'self project' which involves cartoon characters and hopefully may turn into an animation plus comic book depending how it all goes ...but that is a long way off though.

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 most of my clients give me work for corporate company's, so I would say mainly adults. But in the past I have worked full time for toy company where I designed toy packaging.... I loved this job and got to sit on a design studio with other designers surrounded by toys ...we had loads of fun. So the end user for these item were kids. I mainly design for adults now but in my spare time I design kids colouring books and sell via 'print on demand' on Amazon. Hope this answers your question.

I asked a GD to make me a logo for my shop and then I paid it. And now I want to use that logo for a clothing line, do I need to pay the artist extra payment for using it for other purpose? Reply please :(

Asked by Alex almost 5 years ago

Well once you have paid for it you are the owner of that logo to do what you want with, so go ahead and use it and no need to pay anymore to the designer ...unless you ask them to do more work on it. Just make sure the designer gives you high quality vector based versions of the logo plus the original editable file. Also, depending how far you are planning to go with the clothing range , it might be worth trademarking the name and logo. Hope this helps.

Is this pandemic hurting your work?

Asked by 238947 about 5 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 . Well, in fact I have got busier! Although British, I am based in Spain and so the lockdown here has almost been 4 weeks now and there has just been another 2 weeks added with talks for another 2 weeks on top of that ...crazy and scary times. This is a tourist area and many people work in bars, restaurants or real estate and no one can work. As for me ...I have worked for years from home so nothing has changed ...and now I have a captive audience online (everyone at home and on social media 24/7) and have upped my marketing. I recently taught myself video editing and create marketing videos ...so did a few for myself and it seems to be working. Picked up a few new real estate companies as in the message in my marketing I pointed our that those who sit back and do nothing with their marketing during these times will be forgotten when it finally all gets back to normal and everyone will remember those who kept their brand awareness going. Brand awareness is everything!
