    What are some free or affordable tools students can use?

    Canva is my favourite free graphics design tool to work it. Why? It's because of the inbuilt templates that makes it very easy to work on any graphics design projects I have. I can't choose when Photoshop over Canva.

    If you work professionally in the graphics field, what advice would you give to someone new?

    In my opinion, the best tip I would give a beginner in graphics designing is to keep practicing. There's no ending to the learning process of graphics design. It never ends.

    How much do you charge for a logo

    I don't get too many logo design jobs. AI tools have made it very easy for people to design their own logos without needing graphics designer's help.

    How do you handle designer’s block?

    Personally from my experience, I believe that taking a break is the best way to handle designer's block. You are having this block cos the mind is clogged and cannot function effectively again. So, when a break is taken, it's going to help to clear the head.

    Will you consider taking trainees?

    Unfortunately, it's not everyone that can be a teacher which is the reason why I understand your situation perfectly well. I can teach but the person have to be a fast learner or I'm going to be frustrated 😤 teaching him or her.

    How do you handle clients that constantly request for changes?

    I don't have any problem with my clients deciding to have further changes done to their job as long as I am going to charge them for carrying out that extra change and they are willing to pay, we can always work things out.

    Have you ever outsourced any of your jobs?

    I would only be interested in outsourcing some of my jobs if I am getting too many jobs that I wouldn't have the time to deliver all of them before deadline.

    Without Canva

    I can't think of anything that you cannot be able to do with canva if you are looking to do anything in graphic designing which is the reason why I will rate it very good.

    What's the best job you've seen AI design?

    AI programs have been used in so many jobs that you can't imagine today. Even gaming industries now make use of AI in their video games development and production. This shows how impactful AI have been in so many ways.

    Anyone use Tourbox? Its on sale now

    Sadly, I don't have any experience with using Tourbox. Graphics design is vast, there's so much to do in the industry and there are so many tools to work with. It's why I don't stress myself with trying to use everything but focus on the one's that works for me.

    How has your approach to graphic design changed over the years?

    How can your approach not change over the years working as a graphics designer. It's how trying to use the same tools I started with in 2007 to still work now, that's not possible. Technology advancement have a pull on everything and that's how I change with my approach too.

    Is there a recent project you have worked on that you are proud of?

    I'm currently working on 5 3D icon projects for my clients. I've been able to complete 3 of them with 2 more left to go. I think the jobs are good enough for me to be very proud of it.

    Who are your favourite digital artists or designers?

    I wouldn't say that there's any specific pro graphics designer on social media platforms I'm following very closely. I just randomly check out jobs done by some guys who are good and pick up one or two top tips from them.

    What graphics do you avoid working on?

    I started out as a graphics designer since 2007. It have been 17 years I've been doing this and in all that years, I haven't seen any graphics design job which I've said no to as a result of any personal issues. I work on anything that's going to pay me.

    Which version of Photoshop do you use?

    I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop Version 23.0. I would have upgraded to the latest version by now but I still feel like what I'm using is still delivering on everything I needed it for.

    What's your average cost of design per hour?

    I've thought about this several times and I came up with the assessment that it depends on the kind of job you're getting to work. Some jobs will take more hours for you to complete it and if you charge by the hour, it means more pay.

    What are the currently working on?

    I'm currently working on 5 different 3D icon design from two different clients. They have been under my roaster for at 4 years. I tend to get different jobs from them every now and then.

    Do you like playing music when you're working?

    I wouldn't like to be misunderstood about how I feel with playing music when I'm trying to get into graphics designing. On a normal note, I love and enjoy playing music when I want to relax and chill but not when I work.

    What's your favorite image editing software?

    GIMP is very good. Even though it's free, it can be very effective in any kind of image editing task that you want to carry out. It's also very good in image repair and recovery.
