I have everything that makes a perfect starting point for every graphic designer, but i dont know what to do?

Question

I have an amazingly fast PC with Adobe Photoshop and many other graphic softwares installed. I have a Wacom Cintiq that is brand new. I want to make a business online but i have no idea. I have the tools but not a good idea, any ideas?

Answer 1

search tutorials of the software u have in google and start doing wth it. u can get many good basic and advance tutorials of many designing softwares.

Answer 2

Do you know how to use the software? If not, start there so you can put together a portfolio. When you go looking for clients you need to have something to show you can do the work (and, of course, you need to have the skills to do the work!) Good luck!

Answer 3

I'm going to assume you know how to use the software and have experience in graphic design - if not, I suggest you take a class first. :)

Here are some articles which will give you some good advice on starting out:

Some good websites to sign up for to find work:

http://www.ifreelance.com

http://www.getafreelancer.com/

...Among others, it's worth searching for more.

It's also a good idea to build your own website to show your portfolio - this will probably be your first step.

Good luck. :)

Wow. I'd give up my ancient desktop for your computer--particularly Adobe Photoshop. If you want to start an actual business you may want to start here: www.spruz.com

If you have a credit card and money to pay stuff online you can update your account to VIP where you can get a lot more but for pay. With a paypal account you can easily sell or buy products to put on your website. I'd advise to watch the video first. And um....how much does it take to install Adobe Photoshop? I'd really like to know.

Happy Businessing! ^_^
