    Your video is so inspired me. I have plan to study graphic design but I afraid so bad after graduating since I found that it is hard to find a job for this major nowadays. My parents also try to stop me learn this major and want me to learn nurse instead to get the stable job. I don't know what I should to do to convince my parents. Is this actually hard to find a job for newbie as your view? Thank you so much

      Thanks so much for watching! I’m sorry you’re in this situation. It is so tough making this decision! In my experience, there are so many graphic design opportunities. People from my school went into various roles such as packaging design, UX design, photography / videography, social media management, freelance graphic design, brand design and more! There are so many different creative avenues. It really comes down to having a strong portfolio! I would say follow your gut with your major. I know it’s a big decision right now, but you can always go back to a more traditional job imo! Good luck :)

    Why not just buy a condo? It would be so much less a month and you would own it! $2700 seems like highway robbery when you could pay under 2k a month to own and build equity. That said, if I had to rent, I'd pick #2 but $2700 is a full on house payment

    So the arrangement of elements alone can’t be copyrighted. It sucks because I believe that the arrangement and style of elements you use can make or break a piece.

    hi kelsey! i’m currently a first year student studying graphic design at university. i have a couple questions about the graphic design field and would appreciate your opinion on them! my first question is about what minor i should get into? i heard business is a good one, but i know marketing/public relations or film & video would be good options as well. i would like to focus on motion design, which is why i was considering film as a minor. my second question is about your overall opinion of graphic design as a career. do you find it fufilling, comfortable, and somewhat easy? or do you tend to get burned out? it seems like you would have to be very passionate about graphic design to do it as both a 9-5 and freelance as well! i admire your ability to do this :) i love watching your videos and gaining more insight into the graphic design industry! they’re also really relaxing to watch as well. thank you for your time!

    • @KelseyWillaby
      @KelseyWillaby 9 місяців тому

      Hi Kierstin! Thanks for watching. Congrats on studying graphic design! How exciting! Good questions. I feel like I was in a similar position as you when deciding a minor. I think either one sound like great options. I think it comes down to where you see your career in the long run? You say motion design, so the film & video could be great. I would just look into the classes you take - see if those will help buidl your portfolio. In my experience, that is what ends up coming down to landing graphic design jobs! Second question - Yes, I do find it fulfilling! I think every career will have it's ups and downs, but overall I am very happy to be a graphic designer. Just overall I am so happy to be in the creative industry. When I was a full time freelancers, I found myself burning out more often. Oddly, now that I have a steady 9-5 - I feel much more comfortable and relaxed. The freelance is just a fun bonus to have on top of it! I hope this helps. Best of luck in your graphic design career! :)

    Dear Kelsy, I was really hoping to get through your video an deep insight on how you plan, schedule and balance your 9-5 & Freelance Work, as I am kind of in the same situation. I just had the feeling that this video was very much more about products you purchase and you like to use. It is not my intention to make you feel bad about saying that, just to inform you what I got out of this video. I am really impressed on how you are so relaxed balancing your work and life. Do you never get stressed, you always feel so relaxed, as your videos do!?! :)) Keep on beeing so relaxed and sharing your relaxing videos! :))
