I personally don't think AI is going to replace every designer because AI can only work with prompts that have already been used in the past and can't create new art on it's own. You will always need to have some sort of human input and editing needed in order to get a truly fitting result. What I would agree on is that in the future every designer will be kind of forced to work with AI because it makes things so much easier and it can safe you lots of time which results in more efficiency overall.
Good take, yeah I think (good) creative direction will always need to led by a human. But you can slash entire junior and most mid-level designer roles, as prompts will automate grunt work (as if Canva hasn’t done that already lmao) It’s like a more extreme version of the invention of the camera making photorealistic painting obsolete. Taste and creative vision will be more important than it’s ever been

Dude you don't know how much relieved I'm feeling after watching this tutorial. I was pursuing my veterinary medicine degree but dropped out of college due to graphic design and started freelancing. I didn't get much clients so I'm looking for a job but was worried about degree, portfolio and experience stuff. I'll apply the tips you shared. I really want to get a job before turning 21 next year. Let's see 🧡
I studied physical therapy so I understand the balls it takes to make that leap of faith from a safe medical career into a creative one, mucho respect Appreciate the kind words. Good luck and lmk if you had any Q’s
@@Tre-333My whole family was against me. I was gonna be the first doctor in my family but I ruined their expectations. Only my mother was on my side. Thankfully after a big fight and my crying, they finally let it slide.
I'm in medical school but I'm leaving to become a graphic designer cuz that's what I wanted to do since I was a kid. But it's so scary making that 180-degree jump and I'm not sure I'll ever land a good job.
I'm in a similar process as well!! I have been a teacher for years, but always had a passion for design...even when I was getting my degree. I pushed that feeling aside for YEARS, and I was always worried about leaving the security of that teaching job. But the past 2 years I've learned so much as a self taught designer, and I'm finally feeling ready to apply for design jobs. At the end of the day, you can't change what's meant to be yours in life.
I am here, after completing a rigorous 4 year bachelor's in design degree, and three failed jobs, this is so encouraging and I love how real and conversational this felt
this was the first video I found of yours. The way you delivered all of this was hilarious and inpowering. I did my first cold email back in Decemeber, and in January it landed me a $600.00 job. NEVER BE AFRAID OF COLD EMAILS ! It feels weird doing it, but none of those people on indeed are whiping out a personalized email. You definitely got a follow from me, and Im going to be using these steps in the near future.
Congrats on the 600 dollar gig, so glad that worked out for you haha. My mentality is if we’re not born lucky - we have to make our own luck 🍀 Thanks for the sub + the kind words

First of our real graphic designers don’t engage in vandalism. That’s what your graffiti there is indicating. I would never recommend anybody following. What a vandal recommends. I’m a professional graphic designer. I live in breathe my profession I design everything in my head before putting it down, I beat every deadline. I never lied in my résumé or anything. I come from a humble background working class family, my father died my mom help me raise me. She raise me with some ethics and morals and is not the way to go. It’s unfortunate that I see people taking on a street like this profession that you should be working at home all the time they should be dressed like a thug or skater or whatever the heck hip-hop means. Nothing makes you look unprofessional. I get it. I get it you want to express yourself that’s what you are, but you can’t be encouraging a degradation of a profession. You have to have some pride and self-respect. One of things I will tell you from experience doing this for many many many years and it’s proven 100% correct faking a portfolio faking a resume gets around and you really talented which you should be from a young age the ability to draw design paint do something creative. It should be natural you should be born with it. You’re never trained in it. You may think you are, but you are never , going to be like in real but I will tell you the right people see you. They will know they will know how good you are. How valuable and how talented you are. It just takes the right people the right GOOD people. It may seem like they’re not around, but they are it’s just, they see their eyes light up.
Loved the whole video bro. Got a little scared about the AI replacement part but I'll think of something in 5 years. Also, that's exactly gow I got a job as a junior copywriter. Created a portfolio in 4 hours and got a job within 24 hrs. I'm back at graphic design after 3 months at the job. Should put that experience on my resume?
Appreciate it, yeah that’s the way bro Looking back, after working with AI tech that’s available today I reckon it’s still a while away before graphic designers get fully replaced. But there will be a rapid move away from valuing low/mid level technical skill to the importance of visual identity and theory knowledge. So as long as we stay on top of that we should be aight Also yeah, definitely include that in your resume. Content is content whether it’s graphic, video or text based. Lots of crossover there

Yeah tru I was exaggerating. There’s always going to be a market for graphic designers, but the ability to A.I. prompt design elements will become essential
You know, I used to feel a bit off about all this, but here’s the truth: being too honest in graphic design and video editing can turn you into a slave, earning less than a janitor. So, thanks for being real, man! Your honesty cuts through the nonsense. Listen closely, everyone! Take this advice and unleash it in your work the results will blow your mind! Looking out for international clients too. Any referal, brother?
100%, design and videography is massively undervalued these days, i call it the Canva effect haha. u gotta pull out all the stops to get your foot in the door so u can get ahead. unfortunately no international clients broski, if u lived in aus that’d be perfect timing tho. i’ve had to pass up like 2 clients just now cause i’m so busy these days 💀
You are the GOAT for this... sit down and hold on for this one... I've been searching for a design job for over 14 YEARS! I can't tell you how many times I thought about giving up.
Tryna get into UX, went to school for it and felt I was ripped off. I’m basically learning everything on my own again. Feeling pretty stressed about getting a job in the field, and your video popped up at JUST the right time. Giving me motivation again!
You have genuinely fixed my life,I turned down a project manager job that was offered to me because I don't have a degree. But I've been working for years!!! Good God imposter syndrome
This is the only content I've found that has clear and concise advice for new designers, and I have a bachelors and all the resources of a university. King
I would try to get a job while living in America (stay there for a couple months) then do a bait-and-switch with your whole digital nomad thing. That way you get to keep your USD salary while living in a low COL area like Argentina
I'm 16 n i js want to do something that matches my interests of drawing or editing, my mother asked me "what do you want to do" and i am so indecisive because I never had a realistic thing that I've wanted to do, all I do is draw and just post edits, I don't even gain money from it I just do it so I'm just figuring out and searching some things I could be comfortable with like graphic design since it seems cool and I could see myself doing it.
i think you’re on the right path. and from what you’ve told me, pursuing graphic design sounds like you’d suit it quite well. but also don’t stress too much on picking an exact job title, a lot of jobs in the creative industry use similar skill sets so if you decide later on that you don’t wanna be a graphic designer you can easily transition into another creative job. good luck bro
Yo im literally watching this because i am fucking autistic. Kind of hurt considering this is the biggest setback I have trying to actually get work as a creative/ graphic designer. fucking brutal.
You just have to mask for a 30 minute interview and then get by for 2 weeks on the job smiling and doing small talk, after that you can chill and slowly unmask. You’ll be alright 👍
I would argue that if you want to and able to, just go to college. Sometimes its the way of thinking or solving problem that they teach us, and not the hard skill. Then again, Graphic design is one of the field where your portfolio is worth more than your degree. I have worked with a psychology graduate illustrator before and even lost to a candidate that isn't even an art or graphic design graduate. I feel pretty defeated now, i should probably lie more on my resume so it doesn't look too focused on one graphic design niche
Don't think AI is gonna take over the way you think it will simply because you can't OWN anything you make not to mention its lack of design choice I think it will instead do that grunt work you mentioned and leave designers to focus on more concepts. Love the vid ❤
True. My perspective’s changed a little in the past few months. Still time for new designers to learn the ropes before the bulk gets automated. This is prob a great time to get in if you wanna be an established creative director in 5-10ish years time
Lmao, dw I went to design school too Just enjoy the friends you make and the resources you have available to you, the student loan debt has already been signed 🤷♂️
was going well till you dropped that line at the end that we gon be replaced by ai, which is true but dam now im more depressed, still a student designer
I started my Graphic design studies in 2018, but took a haitus in 2021. Now I am planning on finishing my major to get my degree, but personally, degrees are papers and skills are everything. This video feels helpful.
Colleges are only as helpful as the amount of effort you put in. Generally, I’d say the ROI isn’t worth it. But if you’ve gotten this far, might as well stick it out as there are some privileges, connections + it’d prob make your parents happy
i love this video cause i always click on these types of vids expecting some annoying artist who thinks they are better than everyone but this is some actually real, tangible good advice
Honestly, I've been feeling a lot stressed out today about whether or not I'll get a job in graphic design, even though I'm in my final year in my Graphic Design program. This video helped me out! Thank you so much!
hello Tre, thank you so much for your tips. Honestly this video just boosted my energy and enthusiasm level from 1 to 100 I am a 15 years old enthusiast who is very interested in graphic design. I have learned mostly everything I need to know about graphic design, i watched lots of youtube courses and stuff like that. I was wondering whats the age limit for this job? am I too young? thanks again 🙏
I’m glad it inspired you. Honestly, I would assume there’s no age requirement to do graphic design. In fact, there’s probably some advantages to being young as you’re more connected to pop culture and internet trends (very desired in the design field) Only reveal your age to your employer if they ask for it. I’m replying to you on an iPhone that was probably assembled by a 9 year old kid in Pakistan, so I reckon go for it
I'm from Brazil and I found the content of this video incredible, its transparency in saying what works and what doesn't, it really gives a sense of security Your video taught me in 15 minutes what I didn't learn in 100 hours of Brazilian content
might be a bit late to the party, but i have a few questions. im in my last year of highschool and the college im looking to apply to requires a portfolio for graphic design, but i have no prior experience (as i am only 16), and have nothing im able to present in my portfolio. Would i be able to generate promps online and make designs based off of that and use it for my portfolio? I'm very lost as to how i should go on about starting my portfolio, so any tips or guidance would be appreciated. If anyone could tell me how their first portfolio looked lilke/what it consisted of, i would really appreciate that.
it depends all on which art college and major u wanna apply to, so i recommend double checking on their website or straight up calling/emailing the admin team. when i applied for art school in america (arch major), i included a lot of observational life drawing, portrait paintings, graphic design and animation. most of it wasn’t super relevant to architecture but it showed observational skills, design problem solving and good aesthetic taste. i remember one guy in my class included minecraft buildings in his portfolio (lol), so just try to best display your talent in whatever way works for u
As someone majoring in Graphic Communications I can say I’m def not learning anything in my art class, wondering if I should just change my major while I still can cause AI got me stressed. I thought this was an opportunity to still be creative but it’s likely over now
If you hire me as a Thumbnail Designer for your channel it will skyrocket your views even more within few months and It will also add a premium visual appearance to the viewers.

I personally don't think AI is going to replace every designer because AI can only work with prompts that have already been used in the past and can't create new art on it's own.

You know, I used to feel a bit off about all this, but here’s the truth: being too honest in graphic design and video editing can turn you into a slave, earning less than a janitor. So, thanks for being real, man! Your honesty cuts through the nonsense.
Listen closely, everyone! Take this advice and unleash it in your work the results will blow your mind!
Looking out for international clients too. Any referal, brother?
100%, design and videography is massively undervalued these days, i call it the Canva effect haha. u gotta pull out all the stops to get your foot in the door so u can get ahead.
unfortunately no international clients broski, if u lived in aus that’d be perfect timing tho. i’ve had to pass up like 2 clients just now cause i’m so busy these days 💀
I’m making some mockups but i keep overthinking everything i just need to jump on it and learn and put everything together.
There comes a point of diminishing returns, you just gotta put work out there
Bro's previous employers after watching this: 👁👄👁
To my future employers and clients: I’m a changed man 🤷♂️

5 mins into the video i already subscribed!
Great video! :)
Hope the other 10 mins were helpful too haha. Ty for the sub 🫡
hahahhahh
job searching rn is so difficult, i hope I can land a graphic design job
manifesting this for u 🤞
@@Tre-333 thank you!!
Thank you. I’m jumping back in to graphic design 4 years after graduating!! I needed this advice. Not all heroes! ❤
Better late than never right lmao. Glad you found my vid helpful - good luck! 🧘🏽♂️
You are the GOAT for this... sit down and hold on for this one... I've been searching for a design job for over 14 YEARS! I can't tell you how many times I thought about giving up.
brutha i’m strangely impressed. 15th times a charm 🤞
10:53 that's because you *are*. Imposter syndrome can only apply to people who actually have the skills, instead of just faking them.
Tryna get into UX, went to school for it and felt I was ripped off. I’m basically learning everything on my own again. Feeling pretty stressed about getting a job in the field, and your video popped up at JUST the right time. Giving me motivation again!
we’re still in the UX golden age i reckon, i’ve heard it pays really well. good luck 🍀🤞
You have genuinely fixed my life,I turned down a project manager job that was offered to me because I don't have a degree. But I've been working for years!!! Good God imposter syndrome
All good. Next time an opportunity comes through, accept it 💫
You got this
This is the only content I've found that has clear and concise advice for new designers, and I have a bachelors and all the resources of a university. King
willing to bet half of what he said in here was probably made up too... lol nice tips
this is actually the best helpful video that ive seen. thank you sm. Ill actually start this time!
The first step is the most important, good luck 🍀
Why are you treating this like it’s some kinda black market shit 😭
This goes against how I live my life, but you know what... at this stage, worth a go! I'm not a graphic designer but in an adjacent area. Thanks!!
‘Fake it til you make it’ works in all aspects in life 🤝
do you know if there are remote junior graphic design positions? I'm an American living in Argentina...
I would try to get a job while living in America (stay there for a couple months) then do a bait-and-switch with your whole digital nomad thing. That way you get to keep your USD salary while living in a low COL area like Argentina
hell yeaah thats the kind of creators i was looking for

facts bro....

Is normal to feel struggled trying to learning Graphic design by your own, is someone here on my same page? 😢
I'm 16 n i js want to do something that matches my interests of drawing or editing, my mother asked me "what do you want to do" and i am so indecisive because I never had a realistic thing that I've wanted to do, all I do is draw and just post edits, I don't even gain money from it I just do it so I'm just figuring out and searching some things I could be comfortable with like graphic design since it seems cool and I could see myself doing it.
i think you’re on the right path. and from what you’ve told me, pursuing graphic design sounds like you’d suit it quite well. but also don’t stress too much on picking an exact job title, a lot of jobs in the creative industry use similar skill sets so if you decide later on that you don’t wanna be a graphic designer you can easily transition into another creative job. good luck bro
Yo im literally watching this because i am fucking autistic. Kind of hurt considering this is the biggest setback I have trying to actually get work as a creative/ graphic designer. fucking brutal.
You just have to mask for a 30 minute interview and then get by for 2 weeks on the job smiling and doing small talk, after that you can chill and slowly unmask. You’ll be alright 👍
I would argue that if you want to and able to, just go to college. Sometimes its the way of thinking or solving problem that they teach us, and not the hard skill. Then again, Graphic design is one of the field where your portfolio is worth more than your degree. I have worked with a psychology graduate illustrator before and even lost to a candidate that isn't even an art or graphic design graduate. I feel pretty defeated now, i should probably lie more on my resume so it doesn't look too focused on one graphic design niche
Yeah generative AI and Canva have lessened the demand for pure graphic design skill, you now need to add a second or third skill to stand out
Don't think AI is gonna take over the way you think it will simply because you can't OWN anything you make not to mention its lack of design choice I think it will instead do that grunt work you mentioned and leave designers to focus on more concepts. Love the vid ❤
True. My perspective’s changed a little in the past few months. Still time for new designers to learn the ropes before the bulk gets automated. This is prob a great time to get in if you wanna be an established creative director in 5-10ish years time
you literally gave me heart attack in the end when u spoke of AI killing our role . But thanks it was an great
still a few more years left to make some money in graphic design. u should be sweet
maybe its because i'm American...but I have never heard the word RESUME pronounced that way lol
Rezzumay
you inspired my dumbass. thank you so much man, been having a hard time landing a job. moral of the story: lie✌
Glad you got inspired. Best of luck finding a job 🧘♂️ manifesting it for u rn

Just enjoy the friends you make and the resources you have available to you, the student loan debt has already been signed 🤷♂️
“Dont be autistic”, Okay. Guess I’m fucked then lmao
mask up brother 👍
which is india's best platform for applying job.
My friend I’ve never stepped foot in India
was going well till you dropped that line at the end that we gon be replaced by ai, which is true but dam now im more depressed, still a student designer
You’ll be aight mate. Just gotta stay on top of the trends and latest developments in AI. I made a video a couple months back talking about this 🤝
you earned a subscriber studo> do more contents like this. keep up this intent.
I gotchu, more on the way fam 🤝
I started my Graphic design studies in 2018, but took a haitus in 2021. Now I am planning on finishing my major to get my degree, but personally, degrees are papers and skills are everything. This video feels helpful.
Colleges are only as helpful as the amount of effort you put in. Generally, I’d say the ROI isn’t worth it. But if you’ve gotten this far, might as well stick it out as there are some privileges, connections + it’d prob make your parents happy
basically all i need is gimp, practice, and gaslighting skills. noice

damn these tips are hella ghetto but practical! I like this guy

Ty for watching 💚
Honestly, I've been feeling a lot stressed out today about whether or not I'll get a job in graphic design, even though I'm in my final year in my Graphic Design program. This video helped me out! Thank you so much!
i believe. try to enjoy being a fresh grad despite the uncertainty 🧘♂️ u have so many years ahead of u
hello Tre, thank you so much for your tips. Honestly this video just boosted my energy and enthusiasm level from 1 to 100
I am a 15 years old enthusiast who is very interested in graphic design. I have learned mostly everything I need to know about graphic design, i watched lots of youtube courses and stuff like that.
I was wondering whats the age limit for this job? am I too young? thanks again 🙏
I’m glad it inspired you. Honestly, I would assume there’s no age requirement to do graphic design. In fact, there’s probably some advantages to being young as you’re more connected to pop culture and internet trends (very desired in the design field)
Only reveal your age to your employer if they ask for it. I’m replying to you on an iPhone that was probably assembled by a 9 year old kid in Pakistan, so I reckon go for it
Can i use a fake project to put in a portfolio?
yea just call it spec work and u should be good
Nah, I do not need to lie. The Lord will provide for me.
Alhamdullilah
Do you really think that AI will take over all creative jobs?
Not all, as there’s always gonna be some level of demand for human made art/design. But yeah, most commercial work will be cooked
I'm from Brazil and I found the content of this video incredible, its transparency in saying what works and what doesn't, it really gives a sense of security
Your video taught me in 15 minutes what I didn't learn in 100 hours of Brazilian content
Damn, that’s a crazy high compliment. Really appreciate it. I’ve got a couple Brasilian mates and they’re some of the most creative people I know
Ur fucking REAL for this one. ❤❤❤

what should i make , video of a portfolio or website?
Depends on your goals brah. If it’s just design do a website or just send a PDF
13:16 Ai can’t replace creativity
might be a bit late to the party, but i have a few questions. im in my last year of highschool and the college im looking to apply to requires a portfolio for graphic design, but i have no prior experience (as i am only 16), and have nothing im able to present in my portfolio. Would i be able to generate promps online and make designs based off of that and use it for my portfolio? I'm very lost as to how i should go on about starting my portfolio, so any tips or guidance would be appreciated. If anyone could tell me how their first portfolio looked lilke/what it consisted of, i would really appreciate that.
it depends all on which art college and major u wanna apply to, so i recommend double checking on their website or straight up calling/emailing the admin team.
when i applied for art school in america (arch major), i included a lot of observational life drawing, portrait paintings, graphic design and animation. most of it wasn’t super relevant to architecture but it showed observational skills, design problem solving and good aesthetic taste. i remember one guy in my class included minecraft buildings in his portfolio (lol), so just try to best display your talent in whatever way works for u
@@Tre-333 okay now ive got a few ideas i can start with, so thanks for the help!! really appreciate it :)
good luck‼️
Bro made this cuz he got money now. Real
Still lots more money to be made 🤝 just sharing my journey to help others get their bag too
As someone majoring in Graphic Communications I can say I’m def not learning anything in my art class, wondering if I should just change my major while I still can cause AI got me stressed. I thought this was an opportunity to still be creative but it’s likely over now
Anyway I clicked on this video cause I’m trying to land a paid internship with hardly any experience I hope it works out 😭
Stay up to date with AI and new technologies and you’ll be fine 🤝
