Today we'd love to share with you guys some really helpful advice. Helpful not only
for designers who are just starting out in the industry, but also for experienced
designers with an open mind to new things that could boost your career and take
advantage of your skills.
Today's advices are from Jennifer Cirpici (Breaking Canvas), a self-taught graphic designer and illustrator
based in Netherlands, Holland
For more information about Jennifer Cirpici, you can visit her website at BreakingCanvas.com, check her
Behance profile at Behance.net/jdeniz or you can follow her on Twitter @JenniferCirpici.
'No one achieved their goals without the help of others, so don't think you can make your
goals come true by only depending on yourself. Support others and they support you

Not only clients will see your tweets but agencies as well. If you behave like a child they would rather not hire
you. And don't forget to follow interesting blogs and art magazines to keep you updated!
The thing is that you shouldn't think in levels at all. Everyone has his/her own way of designing and their own
taste. You're not better, and you're not lower either. You have your own creative path just like everyone else.
Respect and appreciate each other.
4. Don't think too much in rules, it will show and won't make your work unique
Did van Gogh, Andy Warhol think in rules?
5. Join an agency
Before you become a freelancer, it's good to join an agency for your resume/work experience. You'll learn a
lot from working in an agency like the pressure, programs and working in a creative team.
6. Magazines
A lot of people wonder how they can get their work featured in magazines. Honestly, it's usually just about
sending them an email along with your portfolio and ask if they'd be interested in featuring your work. They
love receiving emails with work because they need to feature people in every issue anyway, so this makes it
easier on them.
Final Words
Never give up and believe in your work. This means you cannot be shy and sit back thinking that people will
notice you among all the designers out there. A good designer needs to have marketing skills. Let people
know you are here and what you're all about.
