How To Get Your Work Noticed

I get asked this quite a bit so I thought I'd address it as my first topic. Portraying yourself as a designer and knowing how to do it successfully is always a tricky thing for designers to master. When you have clients wanting to order from you, or maybe a group of designers looking to recruit/hire you, you want to make sure you represent yourself correctly. 

↣ Once you have your own unique style that people can recognise you by, this is when everything will start to fall into place. If you have multiple design styles, other people won't know how to judge you by it because:
A). They may already know someone who specializes in that particular style, 
or B). They may not need you for that many types of work.
So knowing your style always helps you in the long run.


↣ If you started out by uploading regular videos to YouTube, or to a specific portfolio site, make sure you keep the standards the same each time. So for example, if its a logo design presented in high quality mock-ups - each time you design a logo make sure each presentation has the same quality the viewers witnessed before hand. This way, other designers and clients will have have high expectations of your work.



↣ You want to make sure you have the right networks that you are uploading your work to. Again, hence that you always want to be uploading quality over quantity. Here are some great sites that will help promote your work in the right way:
