29. Graphic Design Journey

In this episode, I share my personal journey into the world of graphic design. Starting from my college days studying accounting and working as a student assistant, I stumbled upon graphic design when I was tasked with designing my university's tarpaulins. Armed with little knowledge of Photoshop, I self-taught myself the basics and gradually expanded my skills to include other Adobe software like Illustrator and InDesign. Through trials, errors, and numerous pro bono projects, I honed my craft, learning the intricacies of layout design, color modes, and vector elements. I emphasize the importance of moving beyond template-driven platforms like Canva to truly unlock one's creativity by designing from scratch. I also touch upon my recent venture into learning Procreate for illustration. Never stop learning and to continue dreaming big, as youl possesses the key to unlocking your own milestones.
