How do you build a portfolio when you don't have a job and school is over? I thought about creating personal projects and I recently did a new "unofficial" logo of something existing.

I lack a subject to work on I guess, maybe creating posters for fun without a particular objective?

Nigger, I'm not even a designer. Don't know why you hate them so much, did you happen to get cucked by one by any chance?

>>310088
The fuck are you on, what's wrong with wanting to have fun in the field I want to work in later. And that is by practicing that I can learn.

ah mate ignore him, i don't know what it is but these fuckers just appear randomly.

which is deffo one great way of having fun while showing off your skills.

but really valuable shit like actually meeting a brief and client requests, moodboarding, designing to a demographic, typesetting, etc. is tough to do for 'fun'.

i'd try get an internship bruv

Graphic design school, I'm trying to find inspiration for a subject. Honestly I wouldn't mind doing cool infographics, or maybe even rebrandings.
I just need to find on what to do it for.
>>
>>310075
IMO its art so you need to focus on creating something. Have a mood or theme in mind ofr starters, then try to realize it on the screen.

Make posters or slides or website mockups, whatever, just focus on creating now, and tuneing it

I come from a school who wasn't specialized in graphic design. I got my degree then asked a graphic design school (but not the first year, I asked for going straight in the 3rd year) but I was told I lacked the basics.
Now I have a degree but no school for next year, basically I'm out. So I want to spend the next year getting better, then ask again to enter in graphic design school

Most small businesses don't give a fuck about your portfolio. They're just cheap as fuck. Go get yourself a few cheap bastard clients and build your portfolio that way. Then you can approach real clients.

Does it work if I make logos and designs on my own? For example I decide to rebrand Nike, or something like that?
I already have some stuff I've did in an internship. If I can find a job in design this year then cool I will be able to put more work. But it's not guaranteed, I'm not familiar with the professional environment and I don't have a driver license yet.

Just pick random words and do designs for them. Do these fast. One a day maybe two. Upload to instagram daily and pick the top 10 after a month and boom, portfolio.

Just pick simple words. Look up things like "logo inspiration" on google and instagram and when an idea pops into your head just go with it.

Or fiverr. I hear theres unlimited clients there. :^)

Ok, that face makes me think you're trolling, but I've unironically been told to find ez clients on fiverr. what's really the deal here
>>
>>310117
Any good art school requires a portfolio. They want you to be good already so you can be even better
>>
>>310627
Fiverr is where designers go to die. That's why I put that face there. do the first thing I told you.
