Advice for Young Designers - Money

 

I just wanted to give some advice about accepted paid work.

 

IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT for even young designers to always quote respectable prices. It can be very tempting to create artwork for a "cool" company for very little pay and the promise of insane exposure / an incredible portfolio piece. Every successful designer and illustrator has at one point succumbed to the siren song of the "cool" industries. When you are starting your career as a freelancer, it will be INCREDIBLY tempting to take on any work that comes along, no matter how unfairly companies are trying to compensate you.

 

It is so easy to get sucked-in to believing that by doing something for free or for cheap, the customer will gratefully value the work and reward you with more work. Nothing is further from the truth. In reality, if you work for free, you will likely lose the customer the moment you start charging what the work is worth. The customer will charmingly send you other customers but they too will expect stuff for extremely cheap or free. Charge what you know you are truly worth and attract the customers that you want to make your business enjoyable.

 

Remember that you are talented and that your talent has value and that ultimately it is up to you to determine how much people value your talent. By helping to keep pricing standards high, you also help every other young designer struggling to get paid out there, and help every designer that came before you to continue making a living doing what they love.

Seek Criticism

 

It is great to get useful criticism.

 

It is quite easy to find people who are likely to tell us what we want to hear if we ask enough people.

 

They will say nice things rather than be too critical. So you will tell yourself that it's good simply because others have said so.

 

However.....Instead of seeking approval, you ask, 'What's wrong with it? How can I make it better?', you are more likely to get a truthful, critical answer.

 

You may even get an improvement on your idea and your work will greatly improve.

 

Plus you are still in a position to reject the criticism if you think that the other person is wrong or just being a TROLL.

Ramadan is meant to teach the Muslim patience, modesty and spirituality. We try to purify ourselves through self-restraint and good deeds.

 

So to one and all I wish you a Blessed Ramadan, and even encourage non Muslims to try fasting and see how it's like, its a great was to break addictions. Ramadan Kareem people, make as best use of this month as you can!
