1. Freelancing or Job : What would you choose?
First of all it is important to know few things about yourself. Ask
yourself why do you want to go into this field? Would you want to
freelance or go for a job?
2. Take the first step
As already mentioned, taking the first step is most difficult of all
but that doesn’t mean giving up. Take risks, keep your mind open to new
things, step on new territories follow your heart!
3. Make Your Strong Portfolio
Portfolios you all know are the great source to brand yourself and
promote your services. If you have planned to enter into the design
field I am sure its not decision taken vaguely, you might have tried
your hands on something in this field. If you don’t have portfolio
pieces, it is suggested to create side projects to add in your
portfolio. Also, you can take a small project from your friend or an
acquaintances.
4. Learn The Business
It is suggestive to learn all the aspects of the business side of the
design world especially you are planning to go for freelancing. Having a
solid grasp of the business side is one important element of starting a
career in any field you want to leave aside just designing.
5. Follow People That Inspire You
Follow people you admire as it can serve as the constant source of
inspiration. Expand your network through Twitter, Linkedin are great
communities for designers. Follow great designers who have made their
mark and inspire you.
6. Be original
Taking inspiration from others is good and checking out designs that
motivate you definitely works but then that doesn’t mean you have to
copy them. Have your personal style. Branding your portfolio, your
e-mails, your resume and building your network will help you get know
but its your work that speaks out. Get motivated, take inspiration and
try enhancing your skills.
7. Believe In Yourself
Believe in yourself is one of the most important tips for beginners
and even professionals. Take critical criticism as positively as
possible and don’t allow negative words lower your opinion of yourself
and your abilities.
8. Take Criticism Constructively
Who likes criticism of their work but then without the feedback we
don’t come to know about our mistakes. Taking criticism constructively
is the best thing one can do.
9. Never Stop Learning
Learning is a never ending process. Especially when you are new
comer, one thing you need to know is that you should start learning but
never stop learning when if you master the designing skills.
Once you stop learning, you start dying" ___ Albert Einstein
10. Hard Work Always Pays Off
I know you’ve
heard it a thousand times before but it’s true. Hard work always pays
off. If you want to be good, work hard and practice. Practice makes a
man perfect.
11. Patience is the Key
This is yet another tip that works a great deal. Remember nobody can
master the skills overnight. You can’t expect yourself to learn things
as soon as you begin. Be patience as getting to where you want to and to
be a professional designer it will take time. Take your time. There is
no shortcut to success. Complete one thing and then move on to the next.
12. Don’t compromise quality over quantity
This is not apt for just designing world instead every field you are
in. One tends to get tempted to do things faster and get more project;
in this quest sometimes compromise on quality.
13. If You Don’t Love It, Leave It
I believe in doing what I love else I don’t do it. I am sure lot many
of you out there follow the same. Obviously, if you don’t love
something it won’t work as you will not be putting your heart into it.
All I would say is if you don’t love something, then don’t do it.
To sum up, I would say that it might appear to be an intimidating
task to start a career in web design but if you do it the right way and
keep these key points in mind, you are sure to succeed in taking a fresh
start and begin your career in the field of designing. Be confident,
and believe in yourself would be my final words to end the article.
