Can feel your soul leaving your body when talking about that Adobe subscription.

🤣 was it that obvious... clearly not having the monthly fee, but it's a must for me!

figma is not entirely free, it's freenium

@aniadsgn Ай бұрын

Yes :) I did mention there are paid plans so there are limitations, but still a great place to start!

@missv7689 Ай бұрын

Right figma is not free! I prefer Sketch, one time payment.

I'm an interaction designer using Affinity Suite instead of Adobe Creative Cloud. Also learning open-source tools such as GIMP, Inkscape, Krita, Blender etc through Udemy. I plan to stick with Windows and Linux.

Subbed! Although i've been a freelance WFH, web and graphic designer for 22 yrs now, I still find your video helpful. We almost have the same setup except that I have a mac mini. i'm looking into getting a laptop as well just so I can work anywhere :) Great content! thank you!

Superb video! As a graphoic designer and artist I still learned a lot of things; btw do you have a video where you talk about your education in graphic design? Could you make a video about websites like gumroad, etc?

I have a bit of beef with Contra and their job board that you basically can't access unless you pay them almost $30/month. Chances of clients finding you are very slim, so you finding clients would be best.

@aniadsgn Ай бұрын

Oh no! I only made an account with them and didn't go live just yet... do you have any other websites you recommend?

@evewithwonder Ай бұрын

@@aniadsgn I haven't found any yet :/ On Contra you can publish your profile and portfolio for free, but if you want to access the job board and apply to jobs, you need a Pro account. I applied with my free account and I've been 5814th in line for approval for 2 weeks now...

How about AI i'm learning but i'm afraid that i will have no chance to have a job

@aniadsgn Ай бұрын

I'm not afraid :) AI will be slowly integrating into our workflows, if anything, making it more efficient for us as designers. I've actually embraced AI by helping me come up with ideas.
