Generalist Mao

A channel about being a freelance designer in the modern era! While there are a lot of specialists out there, I want to explain the importance of being a generalist when being an independent contractor for design work. The channel will focus a lot on graphic design, illustration, videography, and even some UI/UX techniques. I will also test my skills against community requested jobs and tasks.

    I am gonna do my first call today. And it will be a video call. I am logo designer and a freelancer. I was clueless of how I gonna defend the pricing strategy. But out of nowhere you video comes into recommendation! I got to learn something new.

    Talking to clients, when getting to the cost aspect, has always freaked me out. I was always afraid of being too low or too high. Asking the client what their budget is has greatly helped in the freak out department. Thank you, and please post more videos like this.

    Great tutorial! #QuickTip: Instead of manually editing the styles in the calendar at 18:26, save your first doc where you got all the styling figured out as "Template.indd" and import the styles into your calendar doc. In the calendar doc, choose "load paragraph styles" from the dropdown, and then select your Template.indd file as the source. It will automatically overwrite any style in the calendar doc with the same name, saving much time :) Do similar for cell styles.

    Terrible idea. This situation had a good outcome because the client was agreeable and understanding. But NEVER EVER in a million years record someone without their initial consent. Meaning, they must understand, exactly at the initial encounter, that this conversation is being recorded. Not only is it illegal in some states to not disclose, but you risk litigation even in states where the law is more open-ended about one party consent because the law leaves it up to the individual to decide if they were harmed in anyway. And get this, the law doesn’t care if you published it or not. Any individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy. Ignorance is completely unforgivable.

    You seem to think that they will incur legal expenses and take him to court over this matter, investing their time and energy. However, I’m confident he’s intelligent enough to be aware of what you've mentioned, yet nothing will happen because it’s not a significant issue
