Hi everyone! In this vlog, we're making resin keychains out of shrinky dink paper and POSCA paint markers. It was really fun to experiment and create some traditional art in a medium we haven't worked with before. We also repotted some plants and made a few digital illos. ✨ Here's the tutorial we followed to make these :) ua-cam.com/video/02HsBaXtZsY/v-deo.html

    Loved this video! Such cool insight into your day! I know you WFH, but I was wondering if you have any advice in getting to an agency job as a self taught designer? Specifically as a self taught designer, what exactly do you put on your resume to get hired.... Other than listing "proficient in Adobe suite, etc." I have a degree in something completely different than design (in education), so how do I get employers to look at me without formal education in design? I am worried that even before getting to the portfolio, they would just skip you because the resume wouldn't have formal design education on it. Would really appreciate some insight into this, thank you!!❤

    • @cozydreamstudio

      Hello! Thank you for watching! Since agencies rotate clients at a fast pace - e.g. working with a beauty brand one day and a car company the next, they often look for designers with a variety of styles on their portfolio. Presentation is very important. Similar to your portfolio, your resume should have a polished look when presenting your technical skills and experience. I have a section that lists my specific skills (motion design, ux design, layout design, etc) + programs I specifically use in the Adobe Suite. Your resume should highlight design specific duties like the types of projects you had ownership over or creative campaigns you led / contributed to. Your credentials like what college you graduated from or degree you received is usually a small blip in an ocean of experience you should fill with personal projects, internships, or entry level/freelance roles. I get this question a lot so I will make a video about this one day!

    • @cozydreamstudio
      @cozydreamstudio 2 роки тому

      Hi! Yes, I was a graphic design major in uni. It's definitely possible to learn the skills you need to become a designer without uni, but it will take a lot of research and commitment to form your own curriculum. In my case, it was worth it because the guidance and structure helped me figure out what was required to reach my goals. I also watched and listened to a lot of design podcasts and read up on resources like TheFutur, Design Matters by Debbie Millman, It's Nice That, School of Motion, etc.

      your salary really depends on your level of experience, and the particular set of skills you offer as a designer (for example, do you animate, do 3D art, specialize in packaging or have UI/UX knowledge)? fresh out of college i made about $50K / year in a full time salaried position. In my most recent role as a brand designer, I make $90K / year. It also really depends on the type of company you work for and what your duties will be.

    • @cozydreamstudio
      @cozydreamstudio 4 роки тому

      Hi! I'd love to! Here are some tips: 1. Always make time within your week to draw or create something- anything! You can make a little doodle on a napkin, draw a two panel comic strip, or make a giant poster for your favorite movie/band. Never forget that even small opportunities for creation are important, so try to carry a sketchbook around with you no matter where you go. 2. Find designers and artists both online and in person and learn as much as you can from them. Be curious and observe, and ask lots of questions! What do they do for work? What kinds of styles and art forms do they create? For example. My favorite UA-camrs are currently Leah Wei and Cup of Jasmien, and they inspire me to try new projects both related and unrelated to design. 3. Create things you enjoy. What kind of media do you like to consume? Do you like anime/manga? Watching dramas? Or perhaps you just like to listen to music or read? Make it a habit to try creating in different mediums related to the things that bring you happiness and excitement. Make posters, paintings, tshirts, animations, pamphlets, book covers, cards, ceramics, prints! 4. Have confidence to do what you love. When I was your age I was perplexed by my desire to grow as an artist, but then disappointed by the inevitable critique from others. Really try to enjoy what you do as much as possible, whether you have an audience or not, a busy school schedule, high expectations from family or friends, etc... At the end of the day, just look for your personal meaning when creating. I hope this was helpful! This is a very general list, so let me know if you have more questions or need more examples. Good luck! 😊
