is graphic design too saturated with an
impossible wall of competition to climb
well yes and no i'm going to explain why
and also how to survive in such a
saturated market
what is that people come back again with
another graphic design tips video
remember i have tutorials on a Tuesday
speed up videos on Thursday and graphic
design tip videos on a Sunday but before
we start I would like to ask if you do
enjoy this video and go ahead and drop a
comment and a like below and if you
really found insightful and share it to
someone who would benefit from watching
it too
also don't forget to subscribe to keep
updated for future videos so you're
interested in graphic design maybe your
student or even a design already have
you ever thought or been told that is
quite a saturated market
the truth is that yes it's pretty
saturated but that doesn't mean to say
it cannot be lucrative means of income
you just need to know how to put
yourself in a position where you noticed
i can get a steady stream of work the
obvious truth is that you need the
skills to pay the bills so my first step
to succeed in a saturated market is
going to be refine your skills and
become a master of your passion if you
love making creative design this is not
going to do much of a burden and it's a
path that all creative people must walk
down the path you never really find a
destination at the end of and where you
never really stop refining skills but
you must have an expected amount of
skill and an eye for design to get
anywhere in this industry so keep on
walking and keep developing their skills
my second step is related to finding
your niche this one in particular is
important when operating in such a
saturated market need to look at
yourself as a brand look at the type of
work you enjoy creating and which you
have the skills in so for example i
found that exhale more in logo design as
opposed to something SI designing album
covers are mixed at work i have skills
in both but I enjoy later designing a
lot more and have a better knowledge of
what it entails as well as having more
develop skills in later designs but to
go even further than that you need to
find a niche within your English so
again let's look at logo design my work
for example i have a wide range of local
designs but they worked on in the past
with my portfolio website I showcase
mainly minimalistic and clean-looking
later designs you can say their
contemporary or high-end I guess this
type of local design is the ones I love
to create if you gravitate towards
something you love
but in the time and the effort and
develop their skills then you have a
good chance of making that your
profession
once you have found your niche
you will then need to show it within
your brand one of the most crucial tools
are graphic designer should have at his
or her disposal is a portfolio website
this is where you can control what
everybody else reviews when they take
their time give you a moment of interest
this is your face in a sea of designers
so it needs to stand out all of the
right reasons
let your skills and your needs shine
throughout the portfolio and express who
you are and what you represent a
designer as well as a website you can
obviously utilize social media which
probably deserved an entire video by
itself
lastly when you have unique down and
your skills in place you can safely say
you have found yourself as a designer
but you need to get to know the second
part of this relationship which is your
client base
you need to understand the type of
clients you need is going to be serving
so again let's look at later designs
anish it will be clients you're after a
mediocre logo design on a budget
let's say no more than fifty dollars for
design there are designers out there
ready to save these people and I see
every single day not one of these
designers understanding themselves with
a lot of them have their niche
understood and provide Spanish I'm not
saying all designers sling logos at
fifty bucks a pop are on point with the
design game but there are some designers
out there who have a serious game when
it comes to knowing their clientele and
bring in the bank so i hope this helps
you understand how to survive in a
saturated market is graphic design too

saturated let me know your thoughts in
