    This was really helpful. I get nervous in interviews and someone has asked me about the branded question. I knew a lot of brands I liked, but I blanked out so getting practice questions totally helps.

      Sorry I'm just now replying! I think it's true, it is much harder in another language (I lived in Japan for a couple years, and it was so hard learning their language!!) I'm not sure I would be the right person to do a video about that, because I've never interviewed non-native speakers... :)

    Can you please explain in detail what does production (in design field) mean?

    • @GDHT
      @GDHT  Před 5 lety +2

      Basically, you don't create most of the graphics - you can make creative choices, but the designer creates the graphics and gives them to you to create other graphics from the designer's 'template', or fix them / make them ready for print production.
      As an example, I worked for a few years as a tshirt graphic production artist. The designer would create a tshirt graphic for a university, and I would use that as a template to create graphics for other universities. I would update the words, colors, logos, etc and get to make creative choices sometimes (if something didn't look quite right). But the designs, side by side, looked very similar.

    Hey Anne Bracker,
    I'm a graphic artist that's losing his soul of become a graphic designer. I've been extremely struggle for long period of time. How do I stay focus following my dream to become a graphic artist

    • @GDHT
      @GDHT  Před 7 lety +4

      I'm guessing you're not working as a designer now, right? I didn't become a graphic designer until about 5 years after leaving school, so I know what you're going through. I think you need to make a promise to yourself, like I WILL BECOME A GRAPHIC DESIGNER NO MATTER THE COST. Then start doing tutorials, redoing your portfolio, and just making design your main focus. Then apply, apply, apply!! Don't get discouraged!
