Hey Lacey! It's great to meet you and hear about your passion for graphic design. An apprenticeship can be a fantastic way to gain hands-on experience and learn from professionals in the field. To attract your first clients, consider building a strong online presence by creating a portfolio website showcasing your work and sharing it on social media platforms. Networking with other designers and attending local design events can also help you connect with potential clients. Your Michigan-themed graphics and stickers sound awesome! Keep exploring and creating, and your unique style will attract clients who resonate with your work. By the way, your logo looks fantastic! It's a great representation of your design business. Keep up the amazing work, Lacey! If you need any more tips or advice, feel free to ask. 😊

It's awesome that you're learning graphic design and looking for an apprenticeship. In Michigan, there are great opportunities to explore.

Hi Lacey,

I’m also new to UpWork. In fact, I just saw your post as I’m about to post my “New Here” post.

 

Anyways, my question comment. I just submitted my iOS version of my social media application (web version:**Edited for Community Guidelines**) to Apple App store. This is kind of a portfolio project so I’m not sure how much money I am ready to put into it. However, my number one criticism is the icon and specifically my icon with no name. Anyways, if you find this project at all inspiring/interesting, I would greatly appreciate your help and gladly link you anywhere you think best to boost your portfolio.

 

Keep me posted and good luck in your endeavors!

Nick

PS. I’m a fan of Lofi too!
