Hello!
      My name is Ren Xiaojiao and I'm from China. My profile in upwork is 100% complete and I have uploaded my work, and I have written stories for my work. And, I recently finished the upwork Academy course. However, I have written a lot of proposals and none of them have won, which makes me confused. I'm an interior designer, but on top of upwork, I haven't received a single design order.Can anyone tell me? I clicked on the coach section, and clicked on the share case button. I don't know how to get in touch with the coach.

[8f521c43]

Hi Ren!  I would be happy to take a look at your profile but it's marked as private - could you make it public?

[7f893728]

this creative group is great I can  be able to share thoughts and also see solutions to some ideas.

[laubach-lisa]

Thank you. I am wondering if anyone has any good ideas to land jobs for book illustration- 

I've updated my profile and I have also gone through some of the academy courses to write better proposals, but I just don't seem to have luck at the moment.

Hello Bethany, 

I would like to say I am a graphic designer and content creator so if you need anything feel free to contact me. 

Thanks 

[yuva2reach]

Thanks, Bethany!
Glad to be part of this wonderful Community.

Can you/anyone tell me the top tools for a graphic designer? Thanks.

[zoltankosa]

Hey Yuvarajan,

Adobe Creative Suite. It depends on what you want to design. Vector graphics Illustrator, pixel graphics Photoshop.

[yuva2reach]

Hey Zoltan K,
Thanks for responding. I am sorry for the late reply; I was traveling.

But; all the tools you mentioned are Adobe products.

My doubt is, what software will you use to create lightweight images for web pages?

[e81a369d]

You can use CorelDRAW. Lightweight images like PNG etc can be exported once you're through with your design

[580eab9b]

Hello 

I think from freepik or Shutterstock and then you can design web design on Adobe XD.

[shahzadawan8589]

It's amazing to be a part of this group. thanks Bethany

[5055d491]

Hey Bethany

Great initiative 

i can share my skills and get noticed by the community and many other people also like me who are new could get facilitated

[de9e1579]

Hi Bethany,

How much will we charge for a design on average? 

Example: CV, Logos, Flyers, Etc.

[jmdortega]

It depends on your experience level. I was advised by another designer that for an intermediate level (I'm one), our rates should be at least $25/hour. For expert level, I think rates should be at least around $75 or $100/hour and for beginners, rates must be not be lower than $15/hour.

[jmdortega]

Hi Bethany,

I have just joined this group. I'm a graphic designer and am happy to meet and collaborate with fellow designers here at Upwork. And also to exchange information so we can learn from one another.

[daniels-susan]

I tried to access the Community Group FAQ page which took me to a Google Docs but could not access it without asking for permission to view. Unfortunately, I use a different email address for Google than I do for Upwork so I don't know if I will get permission to view the Group FAQ. Thanks for any clarification you can send my way. Best, Susan

[rlouw]

Hi Susan and welcome.

Thanks for the heads up! I'll notify the mods about the Community Group FAQ link not working.
