Thanks for watching!
The cat is so fluffyy!
He sure is! 😹
Omg thank you I’ve been wanting to see more real graphic designers share their experiences bc it’s the future job I want to do I wanna know how it is thanks!
Hey Mitia! Best of luck! Great career choice if I do say so myself 🔥 🙌🏽 And I’m glad my video was able to help you get a glimpse of my experience as a working designer.
This video was so helpful to watch especially if you're not sure if you need to know everything or not when you're freelancing
Great video, and amazing photography too. Waiting for more 😆
Thank you! New Video tomorrow 10/25/22 at 3:00pm PST
This is my dream job… either working as a freelancer form home or at an office for a company! Just being a graphic designer! Currently i am 26 years old working at a factory, you think 26 is too old to start studiying for graphic designer? I know some school give 6 months lessons to learn every photoshop programs! I hate working at a factory doing something i don’t like… these videos motivates me also to start doing it but u am just insecure about starting to do it..
Hey! I just replied to your response from another comment 🤣 But like I said, 26 is still very young! Don't compare yourself to others and don't feel the pressure to meet societies expectations. We all have different journeys.
Starting from scratch is very scary and stressful. I would say to do your research first. Learning the adobe programs is a great way to start your journey!
If this helps, I went to a community college first and then transferred over to a university and got my Bachelors degree. I learned the basics in school, but a lot of it I learned by watching CZcams videos and working in the field.
I would love for you to pursue design, if this is truly something you love! Best of luck!
🙌✨
@@danielalonsodesigns i really love doing this! I worked on it before i know some basics and i know i can learn everything just insecure! But your message helps me! Thankyou alot!
@@b1odin39 That's great! Keep learning and build your portfolio! We all get insecure, it happens, it's normal. But learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable! Best of luck to you! You got this! 🔥
Would be really cool to screen record your computer when doing the actual graphic design work so we can see the creativity!
Hey! Next upcoming video I will be designing a logo so you can see my progress. 😊
Great video, I’m thinking of getting into graphic design at uni, I’m a little nervous.
I am 26 and also wanting to get into graphic design, let me tell you i am more than nervous! Just because i am already 26
You’ve got many years in front of you x all the best for you.
Hey Mia! I'm excited for you! You should totally do it! I would suggest that you get an internship while you are in school to be able to get experience so that once you graduate, it can be easier for you to land a job! Best of luck! Keep us posted! 🙌🔥
@@b1odin39 Mia is right! 26 is still very young! Don't compare yourself to others and don't feel the pressure to meet societies expectations. We all have different journeys. I would love for you to pursue design, if this is truly something you love! 🙌🔥

Hello Daniel I've been following you for a long time on youtube and really appreciate your work. The Content is amazing. However, you seem to be inconsistent on YTB and Instagram. Of course, you're swamped with work and have busy days. So for these reasons, I want to be part of this journey and would like to help you as social media manager. This will help you to save days-hours of time and effort. Please let me know when you are available to discuss this.
Hey Rohan, I agree with you! 😂 I’m still getting the hang of it, currently trying to set up a system that allows me to stay consistent with my uploads. Trying to get better and faster everyday! 💪🏾 But I appreciate the offer! And Thank you for your kind words! 🙌🏽
@@danielalonsodesigns I would to help you on IG and FB we can make maximum out of them.
hey bro you are using magic mouse in the video so how do you zoom on apps like photoshop an illustrator with that mouse
Hey! Its defitnely not the most efficient but its not too bad, just got used to it. But I’m looking into getting the MX master mouse from logitech.
@@danielalonsodesigns how do you do that just scroll it or any other method. because when i do that it scrolls too much at once.
Bro ❤ can i ask about the model of lg screen you use ?
Hey! Ofcourse. I have an LG monitor, model: 27UL600-W 🙌🏽
brother great video but one question: how did you get this job ?
and how much time it take to get a job in new york or LA or California if you are coming from other country ?
please i need an answer
much love.
Hey! That's amazing! Moving to another country is very scary, yet exciting! Congrats on the move!
I got this job because of my past experience. This is actually my third full time job. My first job as a graphic designer was right after I did an internship while I was in school. It helped gain experience in the field which later helped me land my first design job.
As far as how long will it take you to get a job, it really depends on your experience. I'm not sure if you already have experience in this field or if you are just starting out.
Regardless of that I would say it can take a few months to land a job. But again, I can't really answer that. That will depend on you.
Some tips I can give you are to network in social gatherings, put your work on social media, and work on your portfolio.
I hope this helps! Good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions, always happy to help! 🙌
🔥
@@danielalonsodesigns love you sir and its really amazing to get a reply from a particular field person as me, and i am an experience one about 9+ years experience as web developer and designer and i loved this and much appreciated your reply sir.
Thanks once again.
@@speeddesigning112 Hey! That's amazing! You should have no issues finding a job! I see a lot of places looking for web developers with a design background. Your skills are very much needed and essential to any job! Best of luck to you! Stay in touch! 🔥🙌
@@danielalonsodesigns love you sir.
I’ve always wanted to do this kind of work. Currently in the works of finishing my bachelors in science for graphic design.
I have so many questions. Would love to have a 1 on 1 chat someday if possible
Hey Tony! Wow Congrats! I would highly suggest that you get an internship while you are in school to gain experience in the field so that when you graduate it becomes easier for you to land a job!
And yes, of course! you can message me on instagram. Best of luck to you!
🙌🔥

Lol now I have to get a new one 😂
What camera do you use ?
I use my iPhone, it gets the job done! 😅

Hi Jonas! I definetly want to build a design community. Always open to network! 🙌🏽
@@danielalonsodesigns can we meet? i'm gay though. and i'm from reseda
Hey Jonas! To be honest I don’t know how to feel about meeting a stranger. 🙃 Hope you can understand. I’m gay as well! 🏳️🌈🙌🏽 But I would def like to connect with you! You can follow me on instagram! I try to be more active on there, so that could be the best way to reach me. Have a good day! 🔥
