    What colours do you avoid in your graphics work?

    I don't avoid using any colours in my graphics design jobs. It's all about the request my client wants that I'm going to work with. If it's what I'm working on my own, I might avoid using yellow too much.

    What are some common mistakes to avoid as a freelance designer?

    It's as a result of competition that even older freelancers do the same thing with under pricing their services too because if they don't do it, the newbies will keep taking their jobs.

    How do you handle client feedback when it conflicts with your design instincts?

    It's the same thing I do too because when you're at wrong ends with your customers, this will take away jobs from you and offer it directly to the competition.

    How do you handle designer’s block?

    What's the need for AI tools today? They are the best tools which have been available to help me out whenever I'm having any kind of block on anything I'm working on. Whether it's graphics design block or writer's block, AI tools bails me out all the time.

    How do you handle clients that constantly request for changes?

    The problem is that if you refuse to do it, there are so many other designers who are willing to do it free of charge. I wouldn't want to lose a client permanently as a result of such.

    Without Canva

    I can never stop working with Canva. It's one of the best graphics design software available for designers to use. I would say it's the easiest software to work with. I can use Photoshop very well but I love Canva more.

    Have you ever received almost the same work order from different client?

    I've had some jobs which are similar to what I've worked on before for a different client. It made it so easy to work on the job faster and better because repetitiveness brings about perfection.

    Have you ever outsourced any of your jobs?

    I have actually outsourced few jobs to 3rd party freelancers when I know it's not possible to do the job very well. It's better to take small percentage of the job's pay and get the best delivered to maintain your client.

    Ever lost a client?

    If there's no good reason why they stopped ordering for my service, I would be worried. If they told me about the reason why they don't want to anymore, I will find a way to understand it that nothing last forever.

    Have you lost any client as a result of a bad review?

    No, I've never lost any clients as a result of bad review. I might have not been able to get a client whom after checking my reviews decide not to contact me as a result of one or two bad reviews. None of them have contact me to say they won't be needing my services as a result of my bad review.

    How many years have you been working on graphics?

    I've been working as a graphics designer for about 4 years. There was much work years ago but competition have made it more difficult to get good paying jobs consistently now.

    Freelancing or contract role?

    How many contract jobs are out there? I don't see so many of them. It's why working as a freelancer is better suited. If you get contract jobs eventually, it will be easy to adjust some personal jobs and take it on.

    Have you ever missed the deadline for delivering your work?

    This is very correct. It's wrong to work in the dark without keeping your client updated about the work progress. If there an actively communication on the job, it won't be difficult to inform the client about any delay.
  14. Maddox

    Have you ever missed the deadline for delivering your work?

    There's always a situation of an unforeseen circumstances I can't control. This have made me to miss some work deadline but with my steady communication with my client, they are updated on situation of things.
  15. Maddox

    How do you handle clients that constantly request for changes?

    As long as I've not delivered the job, my client have the opportunity to make changes in his requests. It's why I keep commination open all the time with my client for any update.
  16. Maddox

    Do you give out the full rights to your works?

    I'm paid to give the full rights to my work. It's why I charge a good amount of money for them because I know it's not possible for me to come back to lay any claims to them again.

    How do you deal with an aggressive client?

    I would ask my client the question why he's being very aggressive especially if we have never worked before. If that can be explained, I will know how to tackle what's making him aggressive.

    Is YouTube the best place to start learning graphics design?

    It's possible to learn anything on YouTube if you're committed to doing so. You wouldn't lack the resources to study with. I learnt animation design on YouTube.

    Where do you find royalty free photos?

    Shutterstock is the best. There are so many other alternatives but they are never on the same level with Shutterstock since I started using it for at least 6 years and counting.

    What strategies do you use to find new design clients?

    I use referrals mostly when it comes to getting new clients. It's why I treat my existing clients very good because they are the ones referring new clients to me.
