Making content online these days seems to be essential and no industry is less pressured by that than art and graphic design. In this video, i sit down with my friend and fellow graphic design content creator @edgykatrina to discuss the reality of creating content online as an artist. Kat and I both have an audience of over 200k and have been operating online as designers for a while now, so I feel like this insight should def be shared with all of you!
If you are an artist, graphic designer, or just a creative making stuff in the online space these days, I think this video will help you gain some insights and decide how you want to operate online as an artist.
