Guest Speaker!
During his presentation, he mentioned about building up the portfolio and letting people know how well are you with the media tools. To let people know of your work, advertising is one way. You can advertise through blog, facebook and other various social networks. You can also spread at forums, telling people about your website. Benchmark your price and it is beneficial to add social media to web (e.g: Twitter). We must also know what the client wants in his/her website.
The things that inspired me was that I got to know that he was the one who did the ‘XiaXue.blogspot.com’. The website looks ‘bling-bling’. He started freelance web design since 1999 and now he’s the CEO of a company! By designing web, he can earn like maximum of 2000 SINGAPORE dollars! For one website though.
It is useful to have a guest speaker who can inspire you to be a web designer and have a great job with GREAT money. When the ‘experienced’ person shares about tips and tricks of the trade, we get to know what we have to do and how we can improve ourselves.
-While studying, try freelance then work in a company
