I hope this video will give you some insight into how to be a graphic designer and learn from some of my past successes, stories, and mistakes I made as a new designer.

Than you for speaking on not needing to be a great artist/drawer to work in and be successful in this field. I've always talked myself out of applying for a visual communications program for this reason and feel like a fraud. I'm not starting to see that unless you specifically are an illustrator or focus more on illustrated designs, you can either do work that doesn't require much of it or hire someone on to do that work for you. Thanks for mentioning this factor.
No problem, glad you enjoyed the video!
What a goldmine your channel has been. I’ve recently made the decision to learn graphic design and am constantly inspired by creators like you. Any advice for resources (aside from your booklist!) to learn the fundamentals? Appreciate you 😭
Awesome advice dude. I feel like I can apply a lot of this to music, Especially the share your work segment. I used to be super self-conscious about sharing stuff cause it wasn't "good enough" but I've been trying to practice Wabi-Sabi more. Nothing is perfect, nothing is permanent, nothing is ever complete.
Well said my dude, appreciate the love!
LETS GOOO! Awesome advice, Thank you for sharing!
Appreciate you Pondo!
Appreciate you so much dude. Especially that last tip, completely slipped my mind the past month.
Glad you liked it!
Just found your ig page amazing work. Your videos are super inspiring I’m starting out in graphic design now and these videos are very helpful thank you so much !
Thanks so much Sydney, glad I could help out!

Appreciate the kind word, Thanks Thomas!
Another helpful video, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
great vid man!
Thanks so much Jesus!
Such a helpful video!
Glad I could help!
Awesome video
Great video as always, man. As a fledgling designer, this is some super useful advice, especially the point about doing a lot of work and trying to nail down a style. That's the phase I'm in right now.
Also, I tried to get into the Discord server but Discord is saying your link it invalid or expired. Has it changed?
Thank you so much Seymour. Been having trouble with the invite codes in the description for some reason. Try this one discord.gg/QT5JHN9
another design software rec is inkskape! super awesome open source alternative to illustrator. haven't used it in a bit cause i now have a adobe subscription through school, but inkskape is really solid, and some parts are probably even better than illustrator imo
Yes! I totally forgot about Inkscape, I used to use it on my moms old laptop haha.
Good video my guy!
Appreciate that my dude!
Hey Jesse,I’m finding it hard to find an online resources to start up graphic design, I have no clue on where to start from
Pics art is pretty dope it’s like photoshop but on the phone I seen some amazing cover art from pics art
Eating while watching this authentic video of you I found empathy 'cuz everything you say is true. Surprisingly there are only 298 likes hmmm. But thanks for making the video.
1 thing i wish i knew before i was a designer
whatever you first think you should price work at, double it at the very least
yes bro, most def. I always regret working for too low.
