As graphics designers, we will come across different projects of different difficulties from easy to very difficult. Thinking back to all the projects you have worked on in the past, which project would you say was your most difficult? What made it as difficult as it was?

Finding new design clients is important to keep a steady flow of working coming in but it may not always be easy to find new clients easily and you may need to use some strategies to gain new clients. What strategies have you been known to use to find more clients? How well has each strategy...

As graphics designers, having ways to improve our workflow is essential to keeping a steady workflow with limited stress. There are many tools out there that can help you improve your workflow, some of which work great and others that are not so great. As a graphics designer yourself, what...

As graphics designers, we tend to have graphics instincts but it's not always possible to avoid client feedback that would conflict with our instincts. When you find that a clients feedback is clashing with your graphics instincts, how do you deal with this?

No matter how much we work on graphics, we will always find a time where we need to gain some inspiration for a project we are working on. As a graphics designer who needs inspiration, what are your go-to sources for that inspiration?

I have lost count how many different fonts I have on my PC. I find that with each project I work on, a certain font will work best for it and I tend to look for free fonts that will work and add them into the fonts section on my PC.

At the moment I can't say I have done much work in animations and would love to learn more about them as well as learn more myself to be able to create them and better myself. Most of the animation work I have see from others, they tend to experiment with different styles.

These are all great, simple but great in their own way. I have not myself tried doing anything like this but it does look like it could be a lot of fun and could get the creative juices flowing! Will have to had a go at this to see what I can come up with :)

I would go as far as to rate Canva a 10/10. I tend to use Canva a lot both with their free version and their premium version and the amount I have learned and the work I have been able to complete that I am proud of has been amazing. I can't fault Canva at all and would recommend it to anyone...

I do find that my creativity that comes from creating graphics does help me a lot when it comes to creating YouTube videos. You will be surprised at how similar creating graphics and videos are when it comes to creativity.

I have in the past tried to add glossy, blur and glass effects but will admit that I still need some work adding these to projects to perfect them and get them where it looks good.

I wouldn't say that using free tools is bad when it comes to graphics design. I have been known to use both GIMP and the free version of Canva a few times and have never had any issues or complaints after using these. I believe what is important is your skill and creativity and not whether the...

From my experience of printing, I will admit that I have had some instances where certain colours do not print as well as they should have and it's messed up the final product. I always find that bright colours are the worst when you print them as they never look how you expected them to look.

I can't say that I have ever received a bad review from a client. I have always been someone who will show the client the finished project but will ask for feedback on anything they are not happy with and wish to see changed. Usually, they give me some feedback and I work on the finished project...

I wouldn't say this happens all the time but it is something I have had happen a few times in the past to me. I guess when it does happen it can be quite nice if you have done something similar as you know where to start and what to do for the graphic and then get feedback from your client to be...

A travel logo is not something I have thought about creating but then again, I can't say I have had a reason to create a travel logo. If I were given the opportunity, I would love to give working on a travel logo a go at some point.

I tend to use services such as Discord and Slack to keep in contact with clients as I feel they are the two best ways to be able to stay in contact and also receive contact from clients whether I am at my desk to away and have my phone with me. WhatsApp is also another one I would consider using.

I would feel like I cheated a client if I chose to use AI to generate an image and then sell it to them, not something I would feel comfortable doing and with AI-generated images being so easy to detect now, I would go as far as to say it wouldn't be worth it.

Digital painting is something I have heard of and something I know if I gave it a shot I would more than likely enjoy but it is not something I have taken up yet. I would more than likely take it up as a hobby at first rather than offering it as a service.

PayPal is the place where I tend to get paid most often so the one I make my default I suppose is what I would call it. I do also offer crypto payment options as well if they want that and I was offering CashApp until I found out they are no longer in the UK.
