    I appreciate the information and steps you provided. I graduate in May with my graphic design degree and still trying to figure out which route to take. I am getting back in the hang of creating things so my skills don't die. There are so many routes to take and I get lost. I am huge fan of Adobe Creative Cloud. I have been able to use it while I was in school as well as out of school!

    Hi! I’m 28, and I’m in the architectural design industry and I’m seriously considering a career shift to graphic design. This video really helped me to put things in perspective.

    Studying Design at a University was the worst for me. Studied in Germany and was happy to join the University in hopes of meeting alot of creative people that work together to grow together, what happend is that I met shady people that talk nicely into ur face but try to profit from ur knownledge while not sharing their own. Maybe it was because I live in germany and people here like in any other western country are not really into being kind and take care for the people around them but I can tell U as soon as ure different and dont fit into those radical liberal, drug taking, feminist circles on Design Universities u will have a really bad time there.

    Hi Dena. Thank you for. making this video. I am a senior in a design program right now and I am freaking out about graduating and figuring out what I want to do with my degree. Oddly enough this video is helping me to recenter myself and get back on track. Thank you.

    Do most remote job opportunities for graphic designers require a formal degree or is being self taught sufficient?

    hello everyone! hope you're having a lovely day. 🫂I am in need of advice, tips, and overall insight about the beginning phases of my journey.

    here's a quick backstory:

    for a long time, one of my greatest hobbies has been working on manipulation edits (Dena's floral portrait video is an example of what a manipulation edit is), purely for enjoying some alone time, having fun, and connecting with my friends. overtime I realized that the field of graphic design might be the "love what you do" type of career field for me. but I can't afford a bachelor's degree, only boot camps, educational books, and in-person and/or online courses.

    I know that graphic design has a lot of fields but does anyone know specifically which could be fitting to my tastes to work on banners, flyers, infographics, etc? Dena's portfolio video also showcased some of her work that I'm heavily interested in, too.

    additionally is it possible to pay my way as a self-taught? (assuming that I'll provide a good enough portfolio, of course) or is a degree an absolute necessity?

    and if anyone could give advice on where to begin or tips that beginners should know, I'd be extremely grateful.

    PS if my letter reaches anyone out there, know that I don't mind a detailed response, please! paragraphs or not, I'll read it all. thank you.

    I'm currently debating on going to school for graphic design or going the self taught way. This was very helpful and inspirational. Thank you! 🙂
