My name is Cj and I'm freelance Graphic Designer, Logo Designer and Brand Identity Designer from the UK. I show graphic designers how they can maximise their creativity, speed up their workflow in Adobe Illustrator and give tangible advice and tools to become a kick-ass freelance graphic designer.
Logo Design Sucks: How to Find Logo Design Ideas With Creative Block
Have you ever found yourself staring at a blank artboard in Adobe Illustrator hoping that a logo design idea would magically appear. This is the part of logo design that SUCKS! Well in this video, I show you exactly how I get over that dreaded creative block and generate a logo idea for one of my clients. I set myself a challenge to come up with a logo idea that I HAVE to present to my client in 7 hours...does it go to plan? Absolutely not.

How to Become a Freelance Graphic Designer (The REAL way)
Переглядів 22 тис.5 місяців тому
What does it really look like to be a freelance graphic designer? Well, in this video, I talk about how I took the plunge to go completely freelance just over a year ago and the one thing that I have found personally difficult in the process of setting up my freelance graphic design business. Welcome to the first episode of the The Fellow Designers Club. This new series will be your your monthl...
plz continue to post!! Loving this.
I love seeing the frustration! So relatable! When you said it looked like a p*nis I lost it😭😂
Great work, very inspiring 👏
The four logos you showed side by side. In which the F is inbetween the H. I think the first one was best. Plus the logo you dropped as an idea which you thought looked like a penis looked alright to me. Infact that was the best. I think you are too critical of yourself. And secondly, clients just request anything because they know they can ask for revisions. But if the first logo is good I think it should be enough. No revisions. Just your best products.
Being completely honest I completely judged based off your short form content. But I'm glad I gave you a chance on YT. Real honest and relatable, as someone who can let the inner critic get to me, I appreciate that.
others 10 mins video clearly and effectively said just said in this short in under 60 seconds. Keep inspiring with these like contents Man!
your video definitely helped me with my workflow on logo design for a brand identity :) thanks !
Good one please do more cj......
you are a great great great designer
awesome video CJ, as usual. is there a chance you can share a video with The Visual Identity Toolkit? and sort of guidance on what should we ask to get more feedback from the client? Thanks man!!
hi cj your new subscriber form Pakistan 😊. its very helpful thank you. i am trying to create my own logo . i am graphic designer . after 3 and half years of experience ... finally trying to create my logo. and totally confuse what to create.
Genuinely thank You for sharing the process. When looking at the finished product videos, it seems like other designers are shaking the designs out of their sleeves, and I am stuck. I know that is not the actual case, but it helps to see someone else's process. Love Your work and videos, man.
Great that someone (esp from the UK) is making honest design related content. Please keep it real, I think the creative community is crying out for this. If there’s any way we can build a design/creative community count me in! 🤘
I can easily relate here😂 Thanks for the value CJ Saw you reel on Instagram earlier today also🛂
Loving the content, man. Great job!
Hello! I’m a big fan of your work and truly inspired of what you do! I’m an entry level graphic designer and I’m trying to be able to start my own freelancing business like you, but I’m not sure what would be the first steps into reaching clients. I was wondering when you first started, what made you get more clients and how did you start your own freelancing agency? Thank you.
Need more of this type of content, keep rocking!
Love the videos
Great Job! Keep going, mate!
Thanks for the great video but when you are showing the sketches it was not that visible because of white paper and light so try to adjust it thanks❤
wooo bro thank you for sharing all this !! Is very inspiring !! And yes making a logo does S****ks but its so fun at the same time, especially when you feel that you are so close to get it done! nice video quality!!
Need to see the final result 🤩
you reallyyyyy did goood ~ thank u for sharing the process wth us man ... looking forward ep3 lol 🤭
New sub! Saw you on LinkedIn and now I am here too!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELPFUL CONTENT
whats that music???🔥🚒🔥🔥
Would a video on the process of making the presentation possible? I use affinity designer, which i love, but I'm still trying to figure it all out.
Lovin the format of these videos, production value is right up there with the designs you're doing!
I love this. Thanks for assuring and validating the process I am using as well!
Thank you so much. I’m presently stuck coming up with creative ideas, I’m hoping this helps.
I want to say congrats brother. You are doing amazing work, and are very passionate. My two cents (and I make like 120k a year just at a bank doing their dumb design stuff) is don’t overthink everything…. But take that with a grain of salt! Because you are 10X more creative than I am…. I just have to come up with these kind of ideas in like an hour vs. a day. Much love!
Phewwwwww!!! I gitta say, arriving at the final piece you are satisfied with is tedious! Thank you for sharing
As a novice, it's encouraging to see that even a professional gets stuck sometimes. And it's so helpful to see how you worked through it. You're right that a lot of people want to see the realities of working in the profession. Subscribed! Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Yea I’m excited for this series!

What an amazing video! I've been a designer for some time, and this is definitely one of the best pieces of content I've ever seen on this subject. Your work has been truly inspiring to me, thank you so much. Greetings from Brazil!
