How 2 find a Job as a Designer
| I'd say the most important piece to learn is focus on a specific *thing* you want to design.
Is it an advert? An application? A book cover?
After that, you'd want to learn on the recent design trends for said thing. This gives you a "ground" to stand on, and a basis to what you should present your work as.
| Also, do you want to be a freelance designer or a designer that works in a specific company? Put that in mind, because some designers I have worked with are very hardy that they want to do things their own way, even though it was a team project.
I don't blame them for thinking like that, and I support them that way, but they should learn that the clients are also the reason they still have their food in their mouths.
| And finally, because designing is a tad closely related to art, as such there will be subjectivity here and there; I advise you to learn how to handle criticism, learn how to take them and how to use them as a means to improve yourself as a designer.
And lastly lastly, have fun, I guess.
| A designer of what? You need to elaborate more, I guess.
| op here
Right now I'm looking for a apprenticeship. I don't really care about what to design because there aren't many design jobs where I'm located.
After that I'd like to freelance, but I don't know if I could live of it, so I have to see.
Thanks for all the advice tho <3

No problem, and be sure to enjoy your job while you're at it. I made a stable living out of freelancing, but maybe that's just my crap-tier luck.
