    Hey Lauren, quick question for you, what do you think about UI/UX design? It's closely related to graphic design and I've seen some graphic design programs at schools emphasize it. It would be cool to hear your opinion about it.

    • @4TheCreatives
      @4TheCreatives  2 роки тому +1

      I think it’s an amazing skill to have. It can also be more highly paid than graphic design. I have dabbled in it a bit but only on a few projects.

    You forgot one of the KEY CONS FOR FREELANCE THERE IS NO PENSION OR VACATION DAYS PAID. Everything goes out of ur own bank freaking sucks!!!! My 2 cents is if u can GET INTO BIG COMPANY U SET

    • @4TheCreatives
      @4TheCreatives  Рік тому

      Thanks for your input on this, however, if you get your design business to a steady flow of clients, you create your vacation days and schedule clients around this. I have taken off many times and in the middle of the week without having to get approval from anyone but myself. It is a lie that you need to just work for a big company, because I am living the freelance life.

    I'm currently going to school for digital animation, but graphic design seems to have a little more stability. Also I didn't realize how much there was to graphic design and makes me feel more open to doing graphic design.

    • @4TheCreatives
      @4TheCreatives  2 роки тому

      Both are excellent to get into. Digital animation can be super helpful for businesses as this world is going more and more into video. But graphic design is awesome too of course. It comes down to what you enjoy more.
