I got questions for you.

* Are you trying to get into professional graphic design/design in general
* How old are you


q1, im a web developer i had the chance to do gfx at my work place but i'd rather develop.
Reason is, it's easier to find consistent long term work and i know exactly what im getting paid for. (and being a dev is more fun for me)

q2, it was just a hobby but normally you turn hobbies into professions, when given a sensible opportunity.

q3, Self taught dev and designer before i went to college, i knew most of the basic stuff, went to college for both IT and Graphic design to get an understanding of things i might of missed, it's not required at all to be good at design, college for graphic design was a waste i quit after the first year and go a job.

Somewhat, hobby, self taught/tutorials here and there mainly with C4D

No, it isn't my plan or intention to do it professionally. However, I considered building it up as a secondary skill in order to make money while i'm in college. Currently am 18 years old and am a computer engineer major at an engineering school.

Q1: Did you plan on getting this serious into graphic design?
Mhm I wouldn't say I'm super serious about it but I love doing it.

Q2: Is it your main profession or just a hobby?
Mostly a hobby, if some one comes to me for some professional work it depends if I feel like working with them.

Q3: Did you self teach or learn from someone/somewhere?
Mostly self thought or YouTube tutorials and help from friends.

First, thanks for taking the time out of your day to read this!

That's all I have for now, feel free to add me on here as well if you want a new friend

Q1: Very much so, I initially was not sure to start but I knew I wanted to do it for a living in some way or another. I wanted to solely design for web and print, but I never knew how enlightening working in print was until I started.

Q2: It is a hobby and a profession, though working 8-5 designing makes it tough to get off work and keep designing. I work as the lead graphic designer and production manager at a graphics and sign shop. I am in charge of everything from sales, to design, to print, to billing. My wealth of knowledge has increased greatly since I started, it redefined the term "thinkin outside the box"

Q3: Completly self taught besides the classes I took and was a teachers aid for (but I pretty much taught the classes). I have learned a lot hands on from my job but everything design wise is self taught.

yes,but no longer



its nothing, it is just something i do now when i want to, when i feel like it. When the time is correct.



yes, but as with everyone though technique was self taught I pulled inspiration from everywhere.

I am often contracted by a local marketing agency to make logos and other designs for their clients.

1. Yes, ever since i started designing i wanted to do it professionally, but, on the side. But im not even as far as id like to be.

2. Its mostly just a hobby for now. I do it on the side of my full time job.

3. Im mostly self taught. Ive never taken any kind of design class.
