This academic year I believe I have managed to successfully shown growth that makes me more of professional working graphic designer.
With my self-branding (promo pack, website, social media) I feel confident I have put a conscious effort into creating a solid aesthetic that represents me as a person, as well as my graphic design work.
I believe I have been able to successfully create connections through social media through editorial and photography collaborations, as well as send out promo packs to photographers I have been involved with this academic year. Although I have found they have not been that successful and perhaps online connections have had more responses, which is interesting.
This year has also taught me to not be afraid to say to people that I charge for my graphic design. I feel like none graphic designers take it upon themselves to believe design is often not worth paying for, when it really is (especially now this is how I will be making money for the majority of my lifetime). So having a few clients this year that paid for my work feels like an achievement and in a way made me more confident as a working professional, and also proud that someone wants to actually pay for my work! It's a great feeling.
