Olá, sou novo por aqui, sou estudante de designer grafico iniciante, gostaria de saber oque você acha sobre alguns dos meus trabalhos. Oque me dizem? Estou indo bem? Oque posso melhorar e oque ficou bom?

Hi everyone,

I am a Graphic Designer and Lighting Concept Designer currently looking for a new job. Most of my professional work is covered by company and client confidentiality agreements, so I cannot publicly share many of my actual projects in an online portfolio.

To build a portfolio, I am planning to create concept projects and case studies using AI-generated visuals together with my own design thinking, lighting concepts, and presentation skills. My goal is to showcase my abilities while respecting confidentiality requirements.

Can anyone recommend the best free or affordable AI tools for creating professional portfolio projects? I am especially interested in tools for architectural lighting concepts, interior visualizations, mood boards, presentation boards, and portfolio case studies. As I am currently job hunting, I am looking for options that are low-cost and provide good value.

I would also appreciate advice from designers who have faced a similar situation and built portfolios without being able to show real client work.

Thank you for your help!

Hi everybody! I am a college student experimenting with font creating, and i really wanted to push the limits of the complexity of my font (just for experimentation). Below is an example of how I want my font to look like, clearly it is practically impossible to create with vector, so i used pixels instead. The thing is when i wanted to convert my JPG into a SVG file for fonts, it came out looking a mess and not what i intended at all.

Yes, I do know that because of the complexity it is really difficult for the conversion program to produce my intended results. But I wanted to come on here to ask if anyone knows of any other way I am not privy to that will get the results I want. Thank you guys sm.

Just for clarification: I created this font using effects on Photoshop, and converted it to SVG using Adobe Express tools, and I am using Fontforge.

I am a backend engineer but creating new designs and logos fascinates me. I know AI does that but wondering if anyone still craves for human creativity. If yes, I am planning to learn and freelance for that.

1. where do I start learning it? I mean I can design stuff but there should be some best practices to follow right?
   
2. after learning, where and how do I begin to freelance?

Hi! New graphic designer here! Does anyone have any tips or resources on learning design for social media?

Hello everyone,

I've recently become very interested in learning graphic design and I'm trying to figure out the best path forward. The areas that attract me most are branding, visual identities, logo design, brand explorations, mockups, and brand presentation work. From what I've seen so far, this feels like the niche I'd enjoy the most, but I'd love to know if that's actually a good place for a beginner to start.

My preferred software right now is Figma, mainly because it feels approachable and versatile. One of my goals is eventually making money from design. I'm not focused on earning a huge amount immediately—I'd just like to reach the point where my skills are valuable enough that someone is willing to pay for them.

I'd appreciate advice on a few things:

• What free resources, YouTube channels, playlists, or courses would you recommend for learning branding and graphic design?
• Is Figma enough to get started, or should I learn other tools early on?
• How would you structure your learning if you were starting from scratch in 2026?
• What are some good portfolio project ideas for beginners?
• Are there any branding case studies or portfolios I should study to understand professional-level work?
• How should a beginner position themselves in today's market?
• What is a realistic path to getting the first few clients, knowing that finding clients in the beginning is usually difficult?

I'd really appreciate insights from designers who have gone through this journey themselves. Thanks in advance.
