Variant, I’m sorry you’ve reached a barrier. Welcome to your first design problem. We’ve all been there.
Lesson 1. Ask the right question for YOUR answer. “getting a job in design”. There are several ambiguities to that question to begin with. What is design to YOU? I’m not going to answer that for you. “getting” do you mean, internship, entry level, fellowship, etc. “job” what is your level of compensation; experience, salary, hourly, barter, etc. Spend a few moments and craft several questions that will provide more insights into what you’re seeking. Trust me, once you get that “design job” you’ll have to deal with clients asking weird and ambiguous questions, constantly. It’s up to you to sort, filter, restate and direct the response. God speed to a more beautiful question.
