Ask Me Anything (About Design) - Nuance - 07-21-2013
The title is pretty self explanatory.
Ask me anything about graphic design.
How to make something, how long I have been doing, how to price something, how to break in to the industry, etc.
I will answer as many questions as I can.

When and how did you decide you wanted it to be your career?

I'm not sure of the exact date, but once day I was making a logo and realized that I had the potential to make art that would be seen by thousands of people and get paid for it.
So I decided to try and make a living from it.

Oh jeeze, I have no idea.
The amount of money I make a day varies a lot.
Some days I might make 500$ in a few hours, other days I might make nothing at all.

Do you feel like you make more money freelancing online than you would working for a company?

Absolutely not, however working for a design firm is incredibly boring.
Most jobs available at companies and firms are positions for production designers.

There are a lot of factors going in to the price of any designs.
The most important being your experience, the customer, and the size of the project.
Larger projects I usually charge an hourly wage, smaller projects are flat rates.
As for learning graphics design you should build a foundation that consists of an absolute knowledge of the tool you wish to work with. Once you have that the art is only limited by your creativity.
