Have you ever wanted to make money as a graphic designer but didn't know how? Today I'll be discussing some ways you can make money as a graphic designer, as well as some ways to get into graphic design and improve your skills.
First, let's discuss what kind of graphic designs and designers there are out there. There are a ton of different kinds of graphic design. My personal favorite is webpage design but there's also logos, decals, branding(logos, decals, business cards), apparel, and a lot more. Although there may be a lot of different kinds of design, there's really only two types of graphic designers - specific category designers and wide range designers. One only does a certain set of graphic design and the other does a wide range - as the names suggest. Graphic design is a highly sought after product. Many people today start a business but don't know how to make their own logos or designs. As a result, they hire someone to do it for them instead of spending a massive amount of time to learn how to design. This is where someone like you comes into play. If you know how to make amazing art, then you'll most likely get hired and you'll make a profit off of it. Let's also discuss how much money you'll make. If you're creating a 5 page website, expect to charge about $1000-$1500. If you're creating one webpage, you'll be charging about $400. If you're creating a logo/banner, charge about $100-$250. This also depends on how hard the project is. If you're just starting out as a graphic designer and are looking to do some work, you're most likely not going to make a website and attract people that way. Instead, go on a site like 99designs, Upwork, or Fiverr and charge for your service there. The best method to learn graphic designing is to make sure you practice. Practice doesn't make perfect but you can still suit people's needs. Go on a random website and pretend you're remaking their logo or their website. Or, you can go on twitter and find a banner that you think needs some work. Besides practicing, there are a lot of courses on Udemy that will teach you about graphic designing. I'd recommend the one by Cristian Doru Barin(I took it). Also, don't forget to subscribe this blog to make sure that you keep up with all the latest tips and graphic design knowledge. You'll also receive my newsletter that contains info that only subscribers will gain as well as some surprises. I hope this article inspired you to get into the world of graphic designing!
