I posted this in the dA forum too. Advice?
I just started college and am determined to be in the graphic design field. I am working on a game with my boyfriend who is the programmer of the game(I do the graphics). Since we're partners in this, I'm not paid until the project is done and sells. I'm fine with this as it'll be something to add to a portfolio when I look for other jobs.
Which I did. I applied for a character designing job for a small company overseas--it'll be mostly computer and paypal-paid. I submitted samples of the work I'm doing for the other game. The response was polite praise and questions about how I should be paid. This is my first application to a job of this kind. I've read online of people charging $15-35 per hour starting out. I don't know if that seems too much to charge, but my brother who does 3D character commissions suggested I charge $25 per hour. Is it just me, or is that a bit much?
Besides payment advice, if you have any advice on this career please share your wisdom! =)
Graphic Design?
So, because I want to work in advertising I've decided to switch my major to Graphic Design next semester. If you work in that area or have taken classes that are in that major, could you give me some advice? Like, what should I expect, what are the classes like, what I would learn? Specifics, not generally. Even some of your experiences in the field would be great! =)
