Just curious what do you intend to do with the information? None of them are terribly difficult. For me the perks to design are freedom!
I was just going to post them to my blog. I thought it would be interesting to see how a designers life differs in one country to he next. I would be interested to see what a design students day is like (its that long since I was one!) – what they do etc and I am sure many design students would be interested in seeing what life is like as a graphic designer.
Hi Tara, I think this is a great idea for a post and the results should be really interesting. I take my hat off to you too for another original blog post. I really like that come up with creative ideas for your blog and this sounds like another good one to me.
Thanks – why don’t you have a go Logo Design Monster?
This seems like a great idea, might give it a whirl!!
Keep up the great posts!
The questions aren’t meant to be difficult Logos, they’re supposed to be a look into a designer’s life. I’d have a go but I don’t think I can call myself a graphic designer. I just dabble in it from time to time in the form of tweaking my own photos.
Wish I had an interesting enough life to share. But the life of a design graduate searching for a job is not an entertaining one!
Hi Angie
I don’t know about that – I would be quiet interested in hearing about your struggles and I am sure many people would sympathise we have all been there. Why don’t you make a youtube video about it. My Blog does pretty well in the search engines so I can add a link to your website blog or online portfolio. The exposure on Youtube and on here might help you get noticed. Give it a whirl.
Hi Shane, it would be great if you could. Thanks Tara
im sure you have a very interesting life angie !
