It has not always been a pleasant experience if I operate on a MacBook. I find the interface to be a little complex to navigate, and that can be pretty annoying most times.

If I am not working online, that basically means that I go online for other reasons. I spend about 6 hours online

I love playing sports games like football, tennis and basketball. As far as outside hobbies go, those 3 are the top for me.

Anyone that said he's not making use of AI in design work at this age is lying. While it is not advisable to completely rely on it, designers can use it to generate ideas and fine-tune their work.

You should know how to make use of it. It will come in handy when you want to purchase something from social media or a vendor. If you order something online, you pay to an entity who will keep the money until you get the product you ordered. Then the entity will release the money to the vendor...

Who hasn't? The truth is that we cannot fully please all our customers 100 percent. There will still be some who won't be satisfied, and so they might drop by and make an unpleasant review about my work. It is what it is.

Indeed, we need to try our possible best to deliver satisfactory work to the clients to mitigate the instances of bad reviews.

True, this is what many designers fail to understand. Explaining to clients about a change in delivery date is better than not telling them anything. That screams unprofessionalism.

Let's face it, sometimes we are unable to deliver our work on time, because of some reasons that are probably beyond our control. Has it happened to you? How did the client take it?

The best is subjective. Even a graphic designer with knowledge on all those areas will definitely have one is more interested in. And that, to him is the best.

Supposing you got a gig to work on a design for a client, and in the process of discussing with him, you find out that he's pretty much an aggressive type. He uses harsh tones when you ask for clarification on some things, even making use of derogatory words. How do you deal with a client like...

What advice do you have for someone who is interested in learning graphics design? As a newbie, will you advise the person to go on YouTube, or direct him to other platforms to learn?

In the end, that's the best to to do, because the client will rate you highly if you end up doing a good job. And you know what that means, he'll come back.
