    Man!.. I just love how you treat graphic design in there.. you have colleges for it and you take it the way you should have taken it.. here in Syria we don't have that kind of thing.. when you want the graphic design to be your major.. you should do it your self and struggle to find resources

    Just wanna say THANKS FOR EXISTING the Future.. your videos like the best free resources for inspiration and graphic design related information ❤❤

    Emily's personality mostly matches with my thoughts as she said she liked graphic design with a little bit motion graphic. I think that's the sweet combinination for a lookout

    If the portfolio has any flaw, Emily's smile and laughter will cover that up.

    Client: I can't understand the design. Why this why that?
    Emily: 🙂 … haha
    Client: Here's 20000$ in advance.
