    Thank you so much for sharing this video Lindsay! I'm a freelance illustrator trying to figure out how to structure my days and your video has provided such valuable insight on some of the things I could try. I especially like the idea of taking a solid lunch break and not watching TV as I eat, that's a habit I've had for a while now and it really does make the time whizz by and you definitely feel like you didn't take a break. Thank you so much for sharing once again and keep doing what you do!!

    This seemed like a really pleasant working day!! I graduated with a degree in graphic design 12 days ago and I’m super anxious about the future! I work hard but I’ve always struggled with time management and procrastination... I think I’m going to take a little time away from the industry to focus on my self and the development of my portfolio for a little while but you’ve demonstrated a seemingly really positive work day so thank you 😊

    Love your two Day in the life of o GD videos! My daughter is a talented high school Senior who plans to major in Graphic Design in college. She just made her decision to attend Lipscomb University in Nashville this week after deciding between Lipscomb, Baylor, and UPenn.
    We watched your videos together tonight and enjoyed getting a sneak peek into the life of a Graphic Designer, Thanks for sharing. My question is what software do you use primarily for your GD work? Is that Adobe Illustrator? Or other programs? Should we invest in this for our daughter so she can get familiar with it? Or should we wait to see what she’ll be using at LU? Sorry for the the long comment.😬 I’m a GenXer..!

    • @Lindsaympaulson
      @Lindsaympaulson  Před 4 lety

      Aw I love this story! I bet you are so proud of her! In college we only used the Adobe suite which is a collection of software like Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, etc. I had to purchase these in college. They are now available as a monthly subscription called Adobe Creative Cloud rather than purchasing the individual software programs. That might be worth looking into! Anyways, I wish her the best of luck + thanks again for watching!

    Hi Lindsay! ✨I just discovered your channel and I love your content! I’ve been doing a tremendous amount of soul searching with careers and I keep coming back to Graphic Design. Do you think in order to succeed in this field a Bachelors Degree in GD is necessary? Or could an Associates Degree in GD be enough to get into a great job opportunity (or even start one’s own business)? From what I’ve read on the internet, a strong portfolio is most important. I would love to know what you think! 😊
