    What he says itsn’t total bullshit. Designing is finding a new solution. A good designer would not use the HP monitor he has in the background. It does swivel 90°, but has some of the worst backlight-bleeding I have seen. Colors are not reproduced well throug out the monitor. So much brighter near the edges and is a TN display. Come on, really? Experts?

    If your a student DO NOT Listen to this person, they are a show boat with NO idea!

    @kmarois yea I know that’s how it is. i just said that they payless for a reason, but yea I knew that.

  5. kmarois says:

    @shechshire yes they pay a great deal more than the rinky dink place on the street corner of a small town. But they also will rarely hire recent graduates. They would much rather hire someone with a *professional* body of work in their portfolio and not student work. everyone who is working at their degree thinks they are going to walk outside and be asked to work for some huge company. Thats whats not true. You still need to work to get the great job. Not get the job so you can work.

  6. shechshire says:

    @kmarois how so? Bigger firms with high end clients usually pay more than small firms that just make business cards for little local companies that don’t pay as much. How is that not true? Its common sense. I mean I’m pretty sure the firm that created the logo for eHOW didn’t pay some little rinky dink firm in the middle of no-were vill.

  7. kmarois says:

    @shechshire what you are saying sounds like every single pre-bachelor I have ever heard. What you are saying is very simply not true.

    This is great. Now I want to see video of this expert getting into his bear suit and giving the preeesentation that sold the client on the eyesore behind him. i want lotsa handwaving and bad teeth closeups for the navigation explanation.

    com’ on it’s a difference if u get to create a corporate design for a company or if u layout a flyer for the high-school-party

  10. Earthvibration360 says:

    I agree, it’s a really really bad design, and goes against everything he’s saying

  11. Earthvibration360 says:

    I can’t read it, can you? actually it’s a pretty crappy layout, I’m surprised he choose that to be in the background

    Can you really bank $43,945.75 in 30 days with ZERO investment? Here’s what I know about it. People will do it with this… Passive Income Advice [dot] com.

  13. cybervegeto says:

    Anyone catch that blatant advertising in the background? ;)

  14. shechshire says:

    really? that’s ironic because my cousin get’ payed well over a thousand or so a week and so we’ll I once a get my degree. that is, unless you work for some rinky dink mom n pop firm that only has red neck clients.

    What you have taught me is that It isn’t so much the work provided.
    It is the confidence portrayed in ones voice.
    Your bloodline has the voice, you have the words…
    Your speech sells itself. Not everybody has that nor, can they aquire it.

  16. abdboji says:

    Now days graphic design is not a good career for good money , only if using 3d for architecture design ….

  17. karekora says:
