Working independently while studying at the university can be a very valuable contribution in your career as a graphic designer.
Working as a freelancer can help you develop your technical, artistic and professional skills , as well as allow you to build a portfolio that will represent your work experience :
1. You will know if you really want to be a designer
When you study design, classes are not always stimulating or inspiring, so working on your own can be what really motivates you to become a professional designer.
2. Working as a freelancer you will get experience
It is known that the more experience you have up your sleeve, the easier it will be to get a good job.
3. You will earn money working as a freelancer
The stereotype of the "student in bankruptcy" is very common, since generally when one studies there are many expenses and few income.
