Kitbashed/customized for the first time in years today! Knocked these out in a couple hours. I'm not the most artistic so they could be better but they work for what I want em for!

Finished two projects for two clients. So I feel fulfilled. I'm a bit nervous, but excited to keep working on my own project.

My son will be on two baseball teams this spring. One of them has already been practicing since November. The other one started today.

Got introduced to the COO of my company and he said he was a big fan of the work I've been doing (I'm in graphic design). Pretty cool, also I got off early today and my new MacBook arrived!

Some days I work on stuff for socials, others I'm making banners/pop up stands for events etc. I also get to do a bit of video editing and photography from time to time as well which I really enjoy.

That’s awesome. I do package design/print design which is extremely repetitive and tedious. I’m really only ever working in Illustrator and Photoshop with occasional InDesign depending on any existing files the client provides. You were smart to learn video editing too because a lot of companies look for that.

I mostly work with Illustrator and InDesign, I haven't actually used Photoshop for all that much other than one or two projects (I just started in October). My first month or so was almost all After Effects though which I'd never really used before. It was a great opportunity to learn on the job and now I'm pretty comfortable with using it for animation.

If you have any interest, I'd recommend trying to learn UX Design too. You already sound pretty well rounded for jobs but having that under your belt would help a lot too.

I do graphic design too, but just freelance. Any recommendations for landing some jobs? I work on Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign (haven't done much besides poster layouts/type composition), record videos/photography. I also know how to animate a bit on After Effects, but have to relearn everything. I remember taking some UI and web design back in college, but that was so long ago. I'm thinking about going back to school.

I'm thinking about going back to school. If you haven't already, definitely make a website for your portfolio. I know Adobe offers a service for this so you don't even have to build one from scratch anymore: portfolio.adobe.com/ I would try and make a portfolio that's not only centric to the type of projects you'd want to be working on regularly but also pieces with clear real world applications. Even if the breifs for the projects are for made up companies, pieces like brand identity design, logo design, and packaging design are generally what hiring companies are looking for when it comes to print design. But if you're already freelancing that's even better for your portfolio and shows hiring companies you're already marketable. I wouldn't discourage you going back to school but I wouldn't recommend a four year degree for graphic design. I'm not trying to come across as arrogant but I went to community college for graphic design and I'm an art director over two kids that have four year degrees, so the portfolio and real world experience definitely outweighs a degree for this field and you can access free graphic design courses through youtube alone or pay very low amounts for courses on websites like Udemy.

I'm thinking about going back to school. I'd say just building a good, professional looking portfolio and sharing your stuff on socials, making connections online is something that's helped me learn a lot. I'm completely self taught as a designer, everything I've learned has been from making graphics for my figure fed haha! But all the techniques I've learned over the years, I've been able to apply to other non-wrestling related projects. I sorta lucked into this job, I had already worked at the company for 2 years in another department when I saw it being advertised internally, I thought what the heck and sent my portfolio and resume and couldn't believe it when I got the interview. This is my first design job, but it's a foot in the door to the graphic design industry and I genuinely really enjoy what I'm doing for the first time in my life. Thanks for the tip Valbroski I'll keep that in mind!
