thank you so much but I want ask did you upload it the project from illustrator to Behance as PDF file or PNG, JEPG?!
Just found your videos, and very much impressed on how you present this tutorial. Very much appreciated your time and effort you put in creating such easy to follow tutorials. Super Helpful! Thank you!
This makes me believe in resurrection hehe....... Anyway, where have you been 😅
what did you save the file as? I never know what to save the file as in order to put it on Behance when the file has a gif on it.
Thank you. That was a lot of good information.
Very informative video, would like to have another part
Top notch content all the time🔥
Well came back maam ❤❤
Great .. I learned some important thinks from you 🙂👍
Awesome! What were some of the things you learned? 😃
She on it!!!!
Trying me best!!
Wow😊 amazing vlog 🎉
Tysm!
Would graphic design be a good field to go into given everything going on with AI?
Great question! The answer is yes -- graphic design is a growing field, averaging a 3% growth rate from 2022 - 2032 (which is the average rate for all occupations) according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. I believe that every designer should see AI as a tool to elevate rather than replace graphic designers. It should be used to enhance your creativity and make your process easier, not replace. It's important to keep your skills up to date with the growing and evolving times. Rather than running away from AI, understanding it and using it to your advantage is essential. Would you want to see a video talking about this more?
@@DenaNguyen yeah ms. Ngyuen, this is honestly a topic I don’t think is being talked about much, so a video on it would be really helpful! Always love your work!
@@DenaNguyenI agree, but it’s not the designers that get to make this decision. Companies are firing/replacing designers with A.I. And it’s getting harder for beginners and recent grads to enter the field
This was a great video especially for a beginner because it's detailed but not overwhelming.
Glad to hear! That's my goal for every video :)
@@DenaNguyen Always struggled explain our profession people since I graduate you explain it so perfectly ☺️
I struggle picking a right skill to learn. I get demotivated because all these skills comes with another skill which is the same for every skill. Which is sales skills. That's humanly impossible due how i lived my life
If people wanna go to college for art I suggest just don’t go to college self learn art and build up your portfolio youll do better with a art career attempting through trial and error rather than going to four years of college and not havin many job prospects at the end. Dont be a follower and just go to college especially if u can only do art for a living skip college and start your own projects now. F what ur parents say its your debt u gonna end up having to pay off
do you have to show your process in your portfolio? I show all my finished projects but im worried that if i include progress work/sketches it will be way too long. im trying to apply to other design jobs and need to upgrade my portfolio
It's jif no doubt
Which format did you exported the project? inorder to get the gif properly working?
I've never seen myself more in someone than you. Thank you ❤
You are professional designer
Local legend ♥️♥️
What are we gonna export it has?
stop waffaling
Hi Dena, I like your room its cozy this is where I imagine my self doing my stuff , Great video btw
A question: so I get that you resize your designs in Photoshop for mockups, but the mockups I found online were large like (5000px or more), so why is that? Secondly, when I export them, and try to add them to branding presentation for behance or for clients, they are so large that they become really weird in a 1400px wide presentation (I design presentations in illustrator), so is there some guide that I can use to understand the sizing and resizing of mockups?
Thank you for this. i have really learnt a lot. i am applying for a masters program and I need to attach a portfolio. Any recommendations or tips
hey can you tell how make such long art board
I watched the entire video and i don't know if I missed it, but what do you save the file as to upload to behance?
Thankyou, how to add an animation in it tho?
So great. Love the process! Really shows what's it like to art direct.
How can i start disigne graphiques ?? 🎉
Your face looks just like my crush, but she ignore me when I approach her.
thanks for this video
Gurl this whole portfolio is on 🔥 You are such a creative person
What app to make a grapic designer in computer ?
What did you use to design your thumb picture w those text? Thanks in advance Dena
Very useful, I like your content
i think in in the wrong year
Me too 2024
The video says 2021 or so I'm
I'm in May 2024
💀💀💀💀💀💀
How did you get the animated GIF to work in the image that you uploaded.
Thank you! Just got GI Bill approved for a Bachelors in Graphic Design. This helped so much!
Respect to Vietnamese 🥰
that's a very wise approach - anyone who is not a terrorist should write on himself that he is not a terrorist 🙃
I reported the video when you said "jif"... no cap
I find this very well explained and helpful. Thank you Dena, would love to see more!
Thanks for the tutorial! Only thing I kinda missed was how you exported the file with the gif so the quality stays great.
hi! did you figure it out?
