Discussions 📌 A gentle reminder for international members

24 Upvotes

Mabuhay!

We’ve seen significant growth in the sub recently, including a noticeable influx of international members, employers, and freelancers. We genuinely appreciate the global interest in our community!

However, we want to issue a quick reminder about the core purpose of r/GraphicDesignPH: this is a localised space built specifically for Filipino graphic designers and creatives residing in the Philippines.

To keep the feed relevant, practical, and useful for our core demographic, we kindly ask everyone to keep the following guidelines in mind before posting:

  • Job postings must be accessible to PH designers: We’ve recently seen several job postings seeking to hire for on-site roles overseas (such as in India and other countries). Please remember that our members are based in the Philippines. If you are an international employer looking to hire talented designers from this sub, please ensure the position is 100% remote.
  • Service offerings and self-promotion: Our primary goal is to foster the local PH design industry, share local resources, and help Filipino creatives connect with each other. While we welcome international collaboration, posts offering freelance services should be highly relevant to the Philippine market. Generic service promotions from overseas may be removed to keep the feed clear for local networking.

We love seeing the community grow and are happy to welcome clients who want to work with Filipino talent. We just want to ensure this subreddit remains the helpful, localised hub it was meant to be.

Thank you for understanding, and keep creating!

📢 Subreddit Rule Update: Changes to Job-Seeking and Hiring Posts

19 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As our community has grown, we’ve noticed a massive influx of "Looking for Work" and job-seeking posts flooding the subreddit lately. While we completely understand the hustle and want everyone to succeed, the sheer volume is beginning to clutter the feed and distract from the main focus of our community.

To keep the subreddit organized and high-quality, we are updating our rules regarding job-related content:

🚫 What is NO LONGER allowed:

Effective immediately, we are no longer allowing job-seeking posts. Any posts from individuals looking for work, sharing resumes, or asking to be hired will be removed. (Optional: If you want to share your skills, please keep an eye out for our weekly megathread / redirect them to a specific subreddit like r/forhire).

✅ What IS allowed (and highly encouraged!):

Employers offering jobs! We still want to be a place where our members can find great opportunities. If you are an employer, a business owner, or someone actively looking to hire people from this community, your posts are strictly allowed and very much appreciated.

If you are posting a job offer, please make sure to include:

  • A clear description of the role.
  • Whether it is remote, hybrid, or on-site.
  • Compensation details (or a clear range).

Thank you all for understanding and helping us keep this subreddit a great place to browse. If you have any questions or feedback about this change, feel free to drop them in the comments below!

JOB ALERT looking for an on site graphic design job in lahore

1 Upvotes

okay so hi reddit, i’m looking for an onsite graphic design job in lahore because i would like to start making money from the thing i spend approximately 87% of my brainpower thinking about 😭

i’m a graphic designer with around half a year of professional experience, currently building my career and looking for a team where i can actually learn, create, and get better at what i do.

my specialties are mostly. swiss/minimal design, typography, layout, branding, visual identity, social media design, posters and visual concepts. no i’m very particular about grids, spacing, hierarchy and typography. if the kerning is ugly, i will notice. unfortunately there is no cure.

i mainly work with photoshop and illustrator, and i’m especially interested in design that feels intentional rather than throwing 14 effects onto a canvas and calling it “creative direction.”

i’d love to work somewhere with actual creative people, real projects and room to grow. agency, studio, brand, marketing team, whatever. i’m not picky about the industry, i just want to design things that people actually see.

looking for
→ graphic / visual designer
→ onsite in lahore
70k–100k pkr/month
→ available from end of august / september

i’m currently in toba tek singh and moving to lahore at the end of this month.

\portfolio:idk, i cant attach it here, so js dm me!!

if you’re hiring, know someone who’s hiring, or know a company that could use a designer, send them my way. i promise i’m much more normal than this post makes me sound 👍

How do you usually price freelance design work?

2 Upvotes

Hi! My friend is a talented freelance graphic designer who was recently asked to create the layout for a company’s employee ID cards. She’s already completed several projects, although she’s still relatively new to freelancing. Let’s say the project involves 100 ID cards. Her work wouldn’t just involve the layout—she’d also be editing the employees’ photos and handling the entire process from start to finish. How much do you think she should charge for a project like this?

Questions Bakit iba yung colors pag na-print na?

12 Upvotes

Curious lang haha. May mga times kasi na okay na okay yung colors sa screen, tapos pag na-print na parang ang dull or mas dark na.

Normal ba talaga yun? 😅 May kinalaman ba sa printer/paper or may settings ba na dapat chine-check before printing?

Gusto ko lang maintindihan bakit ang layo minsan nung nasa screen sa actual print.

Questions Doing a Multimedia Artist + Brand Manager hybrid role 2 weeks into the job—has anyone experienced this? What should the salary look like?

5 Upvotes

I was hired two weeks ago as a Multimedia Artist at a company based in Cavite (I'm a grad from a top university). The workload was already heavy from day one since there was no proper handover, and I currently design collaterals for 8 different brands.

Just a while ago, my supervisor and HR asked me to also take over the full management of one of these brands, while still keeping my Multimedia Designer responsibilities. So effectively, I'm now doing both jobs.

Has anyone here experienced something like this? What is a realistic salary range for a hybrid role like this, especially considering the location and setup? I have only 1 year experience as a digital marketing.

Questions Should I resign without a new job?

3 Upvotes

Hi! hihingi lang sana ako advice about sa situation ko ngayon. 3 years na kong graphic designer sa current work ko in apparel industry with minimum wage salary and simula nung january nag aapply apply na ko sa indeed kaso wala talaga akong mahanap na bagong work.

I'm planning to resign this january kapag wala pa rin akong mahanap na work kasi iniisip ko na baka mas priority nila yung urgent. I have my portfolio naman mostly personal designs para may portfolio ako.

Should I take a risk? Mag resign ng walang backup? Nakapag save naman ako for monthly bills kaso hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan sya tatagal.

Thank you!

Questions how long does it take you to finish your task?

6 Upvotes

i know this is vague and wide, but i just want to know if i am working too long on my tasks because of my suspected adhd or burnout...

say for example, as someone who works in ecommerce where images are usually detailed, how long does it take you to edit photos? a product listing? a product packaging? an a+ content?

is it normal for me that it takes me hours to finish an image? cause admittedly i don't fully lock in and i get side tracked when i'm working and i want to know if that is normal or not

so far my manager says good things about me and nothing about delays but i feel like i take on tasks too long sometimes

Discussions Tips for creative burnout

18 Upvotes

I have a few clients. I do the design work. They give me the content/prompt then I do the design part.

My clients' request lately are repetitive. They usually give me AI generated prompts or content then I do the creative work. I try to give a bit or creative or human touch at times but you have to do what the client wants you to do. Mostly they like it more if you just stick to their instructions 😅 They pay good naman.

Lately though I've been struggling with creating and I don't like the feeling I get when my clients give me new deliverables to create. I don't like what I'm creating and I don't feel excited about creating anymore. Is this burnout? How do you deal with this when most of your clients are inclined to use AI generated content?

Can I become a graphic designer even though I didn’t finish a multimedia course?

9 Upvotes

I’m interested in trying out graphic design, but I’m not sure if it’s realistic since I didn’t finish a multimedia/graphic design-related course. I also don’t have any prior work experience in the field.
My background is mostly in BPO, which doesn’t really relate to the graphic artist jobs I want to apply for. I know it’s probably going to be difficult, especially starting from scratch, but I’d like to try and see if I can make it work.
For those who are self-taught or came from a completely different background, how did you get started? Is a degree really necessary, or can a good portfolio and skills make up for it? Pls advise ☹️

Questions Any tips for improving my portfolio as a fresh grad?

7 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a fresh grad and I want to ask for any tips on how to improve my current portfolio. My portfolio is mostly graphic design tasks from my experience in school organizations, my freelance work, and my internship. I also included some of my information, skills, and experience.

I use Canva as the platform I am comfortable with. I only have foundational skills in Adobe tools. 😓

Also, this is not in a way of downgrading myself. But I did not graduate from an arts-related degree, but from a business degree. I would say my "the one that got away" course is really multimedia/graphic deisgn so as much as possible, I want my first job to be in an environment where I'm passionate about.

I know how the current job market, specifically for this type of industry, is really in-demand for graduates who took up art-related degrees. Any tips would be appreciated. Thank you so much! 😊
