A Day in the Life of a Graphic Designer 2024 ⭐️

In this video, I will show you what a typical day looks like for me as a graphic designer. If you have ever wondered what a graphic designer's life is like, this video will give you a glimpse. My main focus is on brand identity and logo design, which involves meeting with clients, asking them questions, understanding their company's needs, and building a good working relationship with them.

The other half of my day is usually spent creating content for social media to help aspiring graphic designers learn how to make a living in this field. I am passionate about what I do, and I can't wait to share my experience with you all!

If there's anything you would like me to cover in a video, then let me know by commenting down below!

Definitely feeling inspired by this! I especially appreciate the "not getting to the office before 11 am." Feels like in today's hustle culture people are so keen on promoting "wake up at 5 am, workout, start work at 7, go till 9 pm" type work days. I'm just glad to see someone with a successful business being open about sleeping in, keeping mornings light, and showing realistic work-life balance.

"the presentation takes as much time as the design process" I wasn't prepared for this back when I started doing design 😂

Not over working and living in a quiet place is a great combo and its also great for your mental health.

Its always interesting to see how other people work! Im a packaging graphic designer and it's very different but also relatable!

[noahscheich]

I’m thinking of becoming a graphic designer because I love being creative and seeing ideas become visualized, but I also like working with my hands lol. Would you recommend this field for someone like myself?

[angelo_knf]

Very inspiring indeed! Love to see how other designers schedule their day. It's interesting to see some backstage of your studio and work as well. Cheers!

Question: how do you stay creative and keep things fresh?

Backstory: I’m an Agricultural Communications major - ag based designs, photography and videos. I find it incredibly hard to keep my designs fresh and struggle with logos that don’t look like others I’ve seen before.

Tricky question here…how to restart your career after a 10yr break, what would be your step #1? 😔

As a fellow designer this was an interesting view of another designer’s work day. I was looking at your hardware set up and was interested to know if you have any thoughts on laptops. I currently work on a 27’ iMac but I’m considering get a MacBookPro or similar. I work with Photoshop, InDesign, illustrator, occasionally use After Effects and 3D apps like Blender and Dimensions. I’ve been watching YT videos to find the right configuration of memory and SSD but I’m finding it a minefield. Any advice would be helpful.

I have a question but I don't know if you're even going to be able to get back at this.

I'm a 17 year old with a dream and passion to become a graphic designer. I've been watching videos on graphic designers and how their lives are on a day to day basis to get a quick peak at my soon to be future. My only worry is that (A.I) is slowly taking over and that graphic designers will be left in the dust because now a days you can simply get a literal robot to do anything you want them to do. They could generate literally anything. Companies might not even look out or admire (Graphic designers) anymore because they could simply just type in a command in any (A.I) website and get exactly what they're looking for. I want this to be my future but that is my only concern and worry for future graphic designers.

- Is graphic design even worth going for now in 2024 ?
- Is there different kinds of graphic designers ?
- Can I work from home being a graphic designer?
- What technology would a beginner (Learner) graphic designer need ?

I just found your page today and I already love your style of videos and what content you put out. I hope to hear back from you, Will.

Do you have an advertising deal with Costa? If not then you should do - there logo in just about every shot. Love the video - always like to see your hand lettering content, it makes me want to get back to experimenting with that those techniques.

please please please drop a tutorial on creating serif fonts, where to start, rules, stealing from other fonts, ...etc

"I roll into the Office at Most designers work regular Office hours 9-5, then typically a few hours past 5, occasionally weekends. The thing they don't tell you in school is the amount of time spent doing admin type things like reading emails, responding to emails, planning meetings, budgets, timelines, invoicing, estimating, oh and being creative!

[Jarrix]

this is so inspiring, however i wonder: do you ever eat XD? seems like you are working flat out. i love the office its so nice and cozy, just a really clean vibe there. Thanks for sharing this with us

Hey, i want to become a graphic designer and i wanted to ask you a question. What are good programs i should learn to use regarding graphic design? i heard programs like adobe photoshop, illustrator, and Indesign were good but I'm not sure. Should I learn those programs before even thinking taking a graphic design course? or will the course itself teach me how to use them?

[danielesaleggia]

Hi Will! I have a question that I have wanted to ask you for a long time, and I hope you can answer.. do your graphic design services only concern the brand's identity or do you also do something else like book layouts, advertising, UI?

[Human_]

I love the idea of a graphic designer but I’m a very social person and have to talk to people would I still want to go into this job or should I find another one where I talk a bit more with my group?
