Graphic designers

by J • 26 May 2011, 19:21 • Journals
Since I have somehow been part of this community for half a decade already, I feel this is the most comfortable place for me to get in touch with the like minded people.

So, is there other graphic design students, graduated, freelancing or just interested in creating digital or traditional artwork out here at crossfire? I would like to know your whereabouts, what's the level of education, atmosphere at the work or just what's up. Some links to your fresh new projects or portfolios would be a nice addition.

I personally just finished my second year at studying graphic designing and will no be spending my summer holiday working on some client projects and expanding my portfolio. Also just got two commissioned posters ready to decorate the construction site at my towns centre. :p

ps. Would be interested in collaboration art project since I haven't ever done anything like that before.

the site itself looks horrible but judging by the clients, it was preetty major for a self learned freelancer, good job :p

Wasn't for you, the courses and teachers sucked or just was too lazy to finish anything? Seems that the lack of motivation and a strange picture that it would be just drawing wolves and fairies all day long were the reasons for 2-3 drop outs at my class.

even if i had the talent for it, i could never dare to be in the same field of work as dali

Dali is my personal favourite out of the old masters and most likely the reason why I always try to twist normal things a little and to do things my way.

Any online portfolio to be seen? And how was the studies, did you got enough chances to work with real clients or just imaginary school projects?

havent much online yet but http://www.timterlingen.nl

A lot of imaginary schoolproject idd, but in the final year for the exam you had to make a project with a classmate for a real client (you could even get money for that). You had to make 800 hours together (a lot of documentation etc)

Okey, I just finished my second year and we already had two different client projects. I bet the last years will have more client projects incoming so that is good in our studies. But the salary is optional and will most likely get nothing since the clients pay for school.
