A day in the life of a designer | CharliMarieTV

Design is an industry with such a wide range of jobs that it would be impossible to describe what an 'average' day looks like. Every designers day will look a little bit different, but in this video I tell you about mine! :)

Charli, I love hearing about design from you. I do not know of loads of Youtubers talking about it so I get really excited to watch your videos. I think it is truly inspiring that you work and still manage to upload regularly. I also think you are a really great teacher and explain things very well. I hope your day is lovely! (:

[nambisinivasan]

Hi5 buddy!!! This was totally relatable. I am too a Graphic designer and I get really excited to watch your videos since we share the same road. Have a great day :)

[Bayleavesx]

I honestly loved this! i found it really interesting, so jealous (but happy for you ofcourse) that you do something you love ! 

[sophiep]

Awesome video Charli! My everyday routine seems to be all over the show at the moment as I'm coming to the end of an internship and I'm in & out of Uni the rest of the time. I actually only have three days of classes this semester so yeah, I haven't quite structured a new routine just yet but I am getting there, slowly. x

Loved this video Charli! It's so interesting to hear about other people's jobs and what they entail :)

[madfashionlover]

I found this super interesting, such a great video idea! (plus your job sounds great!)

[babas]

I loved this video! I'm about to graduate from university so seeing a day in the life of work is great! Lovely video xxx

This was interesting to hear sis! I spend a lot of my day at my desk too, when i'm not off in meetings.

What I find interesting is that even though we work for the same company, we really have no overlap. Though I start my day by checking my emails and Yammer too, as well as opening up my calendar to see if I have any meetings or training scheduled that day. I like to do this before I open up ticketing to see what work has been assigned to me, because it means I'm not rushing it to get started on work and I can take a chance to have a glimpse at what the rest of the company has been up to or if there's any news.

Awesome video Charli! It's nice hearing what a Graphic Designer/Marketer gets up to (I'm majoring in Marketing). Your job sounds really cool! :)

[ClaireSophia]

that sounds like an amazing job! I want to look more into that...

Charli, I love your typography! I'm 17 and studying Graphic Design (one of my A-Levels) but it's what I dedicate all my time to. :) I want to be a designer and I'm hoping to do an art foundation next year, did you do an art foundation? I really like package design most of all but I'm starting to find type really interesting after a hand-lettering workshop I went to this week. I tried calligraphy with a brush pen (varying degrees of success) and I think it sounds like something really cool to get into. How do you manage to find work in type and things though? Prints and t-shirts, when there are so many other freelancers doing type themselves? Could you do a video showing us your pen collection? Too many questions, sorry! :)

[fairlyinterested]

That was really interesting. I'm studying PR and Advertising at school, so maybe one day my job might be pretty similar to yours! Right now I am a full time student and I work part time at a Sephora, so during the school year my work day usually consists of waking up early in the morning and going to university in the morning, and then coming home, getting ready for work, and heading to Sephora. I like working at Sephora, because I love makeup, but like most retail jobs sometimes it can be a little too much.

[fanofanything]

I am currently in the stage of my life where I graduate from school and need to decide what to do as a job. I am REALLY passionate about design and also especially interested in UX and UI design but I am not sure if it is a good decision to get into a jobmarket with this much competition bc there are so many designers out there and where I may not end up with a solid payment I can realise other dreams with like more expensive travelling or something like that.
I really am stuck here and would be grateful to hear about your thoughts concerning my situation. Would love to hear from you until then have a good time!

[LuciaMontesEN]

Really interesting! It seems like you really like your job and that's amazing :)

[LelaLondon]
