Graphic Designer

Ive been offered a project for creating graphics for a card game. They will not pay me for my work in the beginning but are offering a % of equity. once launched ill get paid indefinitely for any profit they make from game. Is this a good deal

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 ...I have learnt my lesson over the years ...never work for free or on a promise as it never ever works out in your favour. Ask yourself these questions:Do you know these people well?Do they have a success record with other projects making money?If they are investing money into making these cards, why are they not investing in your time and design work?At the end of the day, if it is very little work for you then you will be investing very little time into this project ...so if the equity % is good then go for it.If there is loads of work involved which eats into your time of other paying jobs and the equity % is poor then do the maths and you will probably say no.

Ask them about how much work is involved and how they plan to market these cards and then honestly value the potential of these cards doing well.

If you can see that it will lead to nothing then give a quote for your work ...or offer a discount for a small equity % ...if they can afford to print the cards and market them then they can afford to pay a designer.... if they can't then they have no money and are grasping at straws.

At the end of the day, do not under sell yourself ...good luck

I wanted to see what software I need if all I need to do is take a logo and maybe add text to it and vectorize them ? I don't want to buy too much if I dont need it. The only designing I will do is alter the logo or add text. Thank you!

Well if you are a professional designer you should really have the Adobe Creating Suite in which you can do this. But if it is just a one off job and you do not want to spend money on expensive software then please check this link out for free alternatives to Adbobe Illustrator... https://vectorguru.org/featured/alternatives-to-adobe-illustrator.html ...hope this helps

What is the best program to use when I need to convert a file to svg format?

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 it really depends what format the original file is in. SVG is a vector format so I use Adobe Illustrator to do this ...but that is converting a vector file to SVG. Not sure if you can convert non vector files direct to SVG without a process in between to make it into a vector first. Not all formats work well in vector. I suggest doing a Google search on free SVG conversions as I am sure there are plenty of free websites that will do this I guess. Sorry I cannot be of more help. If I knew what format your original file is I might be able to help more.
