i graduated as a digital graphic designer. but i kinda gave up on finding a job a year ago (graduated 2 years ago) and let it go. i do some stuff once in a while... and i'm redesigning mashnote.net too |

That's pretty cool pantalaimon! |

so what do you do now? is it that hard to find a job? I'm going to Sint Lucas in Ghent now. I'm in my second year of grafische&reclame vormgeving (out of 3) and I kinda think about it allot wether or not I'll be able to find a job. |

in the UK its difficult, i've been looking for work for a few months now without success... there just aren't enough vacancies. I'll keep at it for a while though, should get a job eventually. |

i've been doing web/graphic design for 5 years now. i took one year of schooling and learned next to nothing. i would recommened going to a community based college (re:cheap) as long as it's acredited. i graduate from school 3 years ago and was never able to find steady work anywhere. i gave up until about a year ago, when people who noticed my work posted started asking about flyers. basically, if you really want to get into it or go further into it, go to book stores, read graphic design magazines, visit a ton of websites, and try to educate yourself a little bit before deciding on a school or path. http://www.patternawareness.org is a project i've had going for the past 8 months now. it will be expanding soon. well, as soon as i learn php and css. ;] |

I'm currently enrolled at the online school, , for Graphic/Web Design. Here's a few examples of and . |

I work as web-designer, though am not professional - just fooled the boss, and still succeed in fooling him, but he seems to like my work and pays me money (few money) for more than half of a year already. (long live adobe, macromedia and corel- lots of working places they caused). was made not at work, just for me and friends; is one site which is indeed online and working, and i have made this crappy design in three or four hours - like this: "Matvey, we have a new task here, a site for a town, need to be ready this evening. The town is called Port-Deposit. I'm clear?" i'm willing to do some print works soon, for myself, because I consider print design and pre-press to be more serious activity that the shite i'm into at this job. time to grow up, i think. |

well, right now i just work in a warehouse where the work is not that hard, the collegues are allright, etc... i've worked one month as a webdesigner untill the job was finished. then i did some 'free-lance' stuff (in het zwart wel) and still do that once in a while. but i's hard to keep up to date sometimes with difficult working hours, other stuff (bands, doing reviews for my webzine,..). i seriously need to improve my php skills and start drawing more.. and i live in a shithole, so finding a job in a radius of 60 km is not that obvious. moving to the bigger cities would be better. but there are other reasons why that's not possible at the moment |
||||||||

|
|
I don't like web design, i'd like to make my own web site but thats about it... I was going to send that COIL DVD set to Coil and see what they think, although its kind of a bad time to do that now with the singers death and all. |

I have been working as a Graphic Designer for the past 7 years and my advise to anyone who is thinking about this career path is DON'T. The job market is flat and most jobs are eather short term contracts or crappy pay. I was lucky in the respect that the job market was fairly boyant when I started, god help those who are just starting out, with my experience and extensive folio, I still find it hard. |

thanks for the heads up :( |

I you can go more towards Illustration rather than Graphic Design you will stand a better chance of finding decent paid work. Also if you have the brains and inclination look towards studying Interlectual Property Law. |

I was planning to go into advertising. and work for a company that makes advertising movies and stuff like that. I think I'm pretty good at those. you think there is work in there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The only real money in advertising for someone who is just starting out is in copy writing. It would be a good idea to make a show reel advertising yourself with interesting slogans throughout. Try to make it less than 20 seconds long so you can E-Mail it with a well designed Resume/CV |

First I would secure one big client at least 30% of your time based on a 40 hour week. Contact Orchard temp agency and Aquent, you should be able to find them in your phone book. They will make you do a test to see how proficent you are. The test is easy and they will let you retake it if you have fgorgotten how to do something. |
