Hi ppl watching! It's been a while since this video was posted but since a lot of you are still finding it, first welcome! Pls subscribe if you haven't for more graphic design and art videos! Also- I'm still a work in progress! This is not me bragging or thinking all my work is perfect. This is just my experience and I figure it can help some of you. Ok enjoy!
I'm currently coding my personal website/portfolio and as much as I'd like to give up and never look back, this video slapped me back into place! Subscribed!!!! We don't see enough female graphic designers on here, I think you're quickly becoming my favourite
i'm so happy i found your channel! I graduate university in march next year (getting my AS in Graphic Design) and have started putting together my professional portfolio. it is so nice to hear about your experiences and what has worked for you. Thank you for sharing :) i'm curious if anyone in the comments knows of a friendly graphic design discord, where we can share our work and receive constructive criticism?
i completely agree that you’re one of the only female graphic designers that are putting themselves out there with personality the way you are! i think what you’re doing and showing is really amazing, as well as your work. i really look up to you! :’) keep it up! happy new year 💞
Thank you for being generous by sharing your knowledge and progress. I'm a newbie graphic designer. Your channel is a blessing for me, it opened up a lot of realizations for me, you simplified every complication I have and answer the questions that are in my head. More power to you! :-* I just subscribed to your channel.
I was losing confidence in majoring in graphic design (I'm a sophomore in college) however your video helped me recenter my focus. Thank you! I'm now subscribed.
I thought i wasnt looking hard enough! ive been looking for more female graphic design youtubers but cannot find much :(, glad i found this one, keep up the awesome work!
Omgggg I was looking through your work and it is so inspiring 🥺 I feel like I have a passion for design but I’m still so unsure of my capabilities, but after looking through your work I feel like brainstorming a lot of cool concepts
Love your layout designs! Quick question, how do you balance between variety and passion? A lot of people have been saying to put a lot of variety in a portfolio to show range, but some have also been saying to just put what you enjoy most and avoid everything else (ex: if your passion is creating movie posters, then only use that for a portfolio)
Neat work! Im trying to go for graphic design and business, im starting with the university core so I haven't taken any actual art "classes" per say yet. Im excited to start after watching your videos!
this my first video ive watched from you and I have to say that your so pretty and your video is so clear, to the point and most of all so helpful. Thank you :) (I subscribed btw)
i’m a graphic design student currently and this is very helpful! ❤️ also do you know how to code? did you create your own website or created a domain through a website builder? however you did I would like to know lol 😄
Junior at the university of Akron in graphic design. kinda at that point of like "get your shit together!!!" really liked the video/your style! relieved to see I'm not like far off or behind or whatever lmfao. like that "shit. further along designer from another school. who got the better curriculum?????" cool too see like the same... progress?? regardless, good stufff dude!!!
Where do you (and the viewers that are designers) make your portfolio...I need one to apply to uni, but have no idea what program to use, what format to do, and like what mockups am I supposed to be using
Hi! I’m planning on majoring in graphic design and I wanted to know if some of my work in my portfolio could be hand drawn/painted/colored/etc. I’m also curious if I could use photography that I’ve edited (maybe with using a green screen). Love your video!
For sure! The best part about a portfolio is that it highlights what you're good at. If you want to have a career in the arts and show that you do more than one thing then I think that's great!
I love love love your design videos!! I'm looking for some other graphic design youtubers to watch and you mentioned you follow some female designers- what are their channels? I'd love to support them as well!!
Thank you! My favorite is CharliMarieTV! She talks about the technical aspects of web design and stuff which is cool, and her channel suggestions mention other artists but like I said there's not a lot of graphic designers who do videos about it all the time!
Grace Jicha Alice Thorpe has a really good UA-camr who is a graphic designer who does vlogs showing how she makes logos and the life of a freelance graphic designer
Such direct & valuable information provided clearly. :) (also has anyone ever told you that you resemble Anne Hathaway in appearance and mannerism?) 🖤💫
Hi, really enjoyed your portfolio, great job! I have a question that is not entirely related to the video however, I am not too sure where to start my search, so maybe you will be able to advise me. Where could I find a motivated student who is looking to build their portfolio? I am in a process of building a business and have a lot of things that need to be done which could be a great practice and addition to the portfolio to someone.
A Journey to Business hi, thank you so much! I would reach out to a local college or university faculty member, they always send out emails to the students when people tell them what they’re looking for. Hope that helps!
Hi Paola, I’m currently studying graphic design and for an assignment I need to talk to a few industry professionals and ask them a few questions, and I was hoping I could talk to you! Thanks xx
1) What is the most asked for trend in current design that clients ask for? 2) What is your favourite design trend to work with? 3) How would you say the Surrealist art movement influences modern design trends? 4) How does Surrealism influence your design style? And thank you so much for helping me!
1. I would say the most asked for is the "clean design" aesthetic, aka like companies like Apple etc. 2. I love working with really bold typography, using it as the main part of the design. That was a huge trend in 2018 and I think it will continue into 2019. 3. I think because Surrealism focused a lot on writings and collage that has influenced the boom of collage and poetry intertwined with Graphic Design. 4. For me, I wouldn't say Surrealism influences my design aesthetic, the only concept I would say influence me is the "dream-like" ideas. I like to experiment with different realities in which some of my designs can exist. Hope this helped!
I'm currently freelancing and I agree it is convenient, but I don't think it's for everyone. I would love to work for a company and want all the experience I can get.

I just thought making portfolio means make it from a scratch like you should have camera and stuff to work with. This works like a magic
Nice. This helped me so I have a blueprint on what to do for my own professional portfolio. Like a guide. That's sis. ❤️
You're looking so so good in this video.
I just watched your video. I'm going to fix my portfolio now.
Great job! great information and great portfolio. Im am just learning.

@@PaolaKassa - yes, I’m catching up, LOL! I love them!
Thank you for sharing! Can you share your process on how you are able to add your designs to a mock up on photoshop?
I liked your portfolio, especially the Colombia travel guide, it was beautiful and inspiring 😊
Love your layout designs!

Shahnaz H. I hate when people comment to tell me what they hate about me but thanks for the comment all engagement helps :)
Colombia !! :]
huge fan of the bacon typography
BrokenEric lol it’s chewed bubblegum but thanks I like that that it looks like meat to some people it adds to the strange effect
@@PaolaKassa you're right it is gum lol. It looks like bacon for me since I was looking at it from somewhat far away.
💗SUPER COOL🌊🔥
thats really helpful,thx
No problem, I'm glad it was helpful!
It is 2020 btw
nice music
Super 👍
hi Paola..You are gorgeous..
you are so cute, and so helpful that what your presentation shows me
Freelance Jobs are more convenient...
I'm currently freelancing and I agree it is convenient, but I don't think it's for everyone. I would love to work for a company and want all the experience I can get.
@@PaolaKassa I look forward to seeing more of your content :) cheers
Cute
