Hi Megan, I’d love to see a video from you about the equipment you have and like for graphic design specifically, ie. monitor/laptop, the tablet you use and what you like and recommend. Would love your opinion thanks!

[@MeganWeeks]

Ooo yes that is a great video idea! I will definitely create that 😊

[@savitakasana5802]

[@MeganWeeks]

What’s the best sources for royalty free images?

I like Unsplash, Pexels, and Social Squares!

Will AI affect graphic design?

[@hyliannerd4541]

What are your thoughts on Coursera and Google for those that wanna self-learn?

[@MeganWeeks]

I think it’s great!!! Any way you feel like you’ll learn the best is awesome. The only thing I’d say is to make sure you research and know the teacher/source is legitimate.

@@MeganWeeks like looking up reviews?

[@MeganWeeks]

@@hyliannerd4541 yes! and just making sure they have a background in what they are teaching

Graphic design is a terrible career choice. The problem is that it is too subjective and complicated. The Creative Director can basically make up any excuse or reason not to hire you including you use the wrong colors, they don't like your style or even if you are better than they are. It's also oversaturated and undervalued. Basically there are literally an infinite amount of styles, software programs, industries, deliverables and skillsets in the field. What this means is that when you apply to a job, the odds of you getting hired are basically 0. And if you do happen to be a good "match" there will likely be thousands of other designers you're competing with. And now with AI everything is just getting worse.
