QUOTE(MIkori @ Aug 8 2020, 06:08 PM) Is it too difficult to get a job in arts field in this current economy situation? I'm afraid that it will be hard to find a job after I graduate. Im studying illustration course i've been working in advertising/publishing industry for 15 years. to be honest, creative market is majorly affected by this pandemic. client's are cutting their expenses to sustain in the business and the first thing they will cut is on the 'marketing budget' - which is advertising/publishing materials and etc. having said that, it is all depends how good you are. pick up other creative skills, beside illustration - that will help you in the long run. wish you all the best

start learning about digital marketing, basic understanding of website design, social media posting, e-commerce. coz majority these are very important for design jobs.
and also some animation skill. play around with adobe after effects and premiere and other major video editing software.
no need to learn 3D editing. if you want, can learn in free time.

it depends on the niche. Nowadays if you work with IT I think it won't be hard.

Maintain your top rated status in Upwork. I've been declining more work than accepting them.

I've always asked this question too..the answer that pops out the most is "get hardworking and scale up your portfolio"

QUOTE(jmtstan @ Sep 18 2021, 09:23 AM) i work as graphic designer for wedding, and mostly deals with touch up photos. my HQ distribute cameras.. so hv to do flyers and other promo stuff every month. But then 10 years later, i left the company and switch profession to be business admin & sales. I don't want to rely on design skill to make living. Coz as you grow old, many younger designer will eventually replaces you with a cheaper price. At least now i have the outlet managing, admin, marketing skills on my resume. Yes very true!!I've came across situation like this in my company. They will prefer to hire fresh-grad than using someone who is well experienced in the industry

there is better chance growth and better pay in the web and app design under tech industry
Study latest structure of web designs and apps it’s not all about just coding, it needs good visuals and user experience
My pay is quite decent as a designer I handle only the visuals for web design, the flow and wireframes I do not need to code as we have dedicated developers. without nice looking website people will not bother to look at the company website
Just look at our gov websites, no sense of ux and design when it’s just up to dev to do everything
