Hi, I'm a novice graphic designer trying to properly get into freelancing. I've posted my portfolio on another subreddit around 6 months ago and got a lot of constructive criticism which I tried to implement as much as I can. 6 months later with a little more experience, how is my portfolio, and what else can do to further improve it, any advice is welcome. (There is a lack of content atm, got a few things lined up, just haven't prepared them for the portfolio yet).

CV is also on there in the about section if you want to have a look at that too. Cheers!
Hi everyone, this is my first post.
Lately, I’ve been grappling with feelings of inadequacy about my work, yet, paradoxically, I also feel like I’m undervaluing myself. In July, I started a web design agency after diving deep into WordPress, graphic design, and several AI tools. I was determined to offer affordable, niche web design and hosting services for small businesses locally and beyond. My focus has been on creating custom WordPress sites, though I can handle e-commerce and Shopify projects too.
In addition to running my business, I work a full-time hospitality job, which gives me the chance to work on my web design during the night shift. I’m also a full-time software engineering student with aspirations to become a full-stack Web3 developer and eventually create DApps. Life right now feels like a balancing act where I can just about cover my necessities, bills, and business expenses (including tools like ChatGPT), but I can’t shake the feeling that I’m underselling my skills and hard work.
So, I’m reaching out for honest advice. My website is kinkoudesign.com, and I have about six portfolio sites listed there. I would deeply appreciate any feedback—am I truly selling myself short? Should I be charging more for my services? Where should I direct my energy design-wise? And, if I’m being honest, is there hope for me to grow?
Thank you in advance to anyone willing to offer insight—it means the world to me~
Hi everyone! I’m excited to share a personal project I’ve been working on: Knight's Graph, a puzzle game inspired by the classic Knight’s Tour problem.
The idea for this app came from a memory that’s stuck with me since high school. My dad once showed me how to play Knight Tour on a piece of paper, and I was fascinated by the logic and strategy involved. Years later, I decided to bring this puzzle to life in the form of an iOS app.
What is Knight's Graph?
It’s an intellectual puzzle game based on the famous Knight's Tour challenge, which has roots dating back to the 18th century. The goal is simple: move the chess knight across the board, visiting each square exactly once.
What I’m Looking For:
Design & Usability: Does the UI feel intuitive? Any suggestions for improvement?
General Suggestions: Features you’d like to see? Anything missing?
Links:
App Store: Knight’s Graph
Website: knightsgraph.vercel.app
Thanks in advance for taking a look! Your feedback will be invaluable as I continue improving the app. Feel free to ask questions about the development process too—I’d be happy to share details!
Hey!
I’m working on a wine label design (8x12 cm) and would appreciate your feedback. The idea was to keep it simple, without too many elements, just black and white. It’s meant to clearly highlight the poem and the number.
Does it make sense to you, or does it come across as completely grotesque? I genuinely need your opinion because i'm an amateur and have no one else to ask opinion.
Thank you in advance
I made a poster for an anti bullying poster competition. Bullying tends to bring out very emotion laded design but I thought it might be fun making something more "reserved" and contemplative. You like..?
Hi everyone! I’ve been lurking on this sub for ages, but I figured it’s time to put myself out there. For context, I’ve been employed as a graphic designer at a small-time athletic apparel company for almost 3 years now, but I’m ready to land something even better—preferably better pay, benefits, etc. I’ve been applying to jobs all year, but so far, no luck. My dream job would be to work at a bigger sports apparel company like Under Armour, or a designer for a collegiate athletics program like the University of Maryland.
That being said, here’s my portfolio: https://jailadesperee6a.myportfolio.com
I understand there’s a lot of work to be done on the front-end (I’m not a web designer, so I struggled hard to get the format of the website to where it is now). Feel free to tear it down, so I can build it up better. Any and all feedback is appreciated, as well as any potential connections, contacts, or personal experiences as a designer. Thanks :)

I’m working on a new T-shirt design for my streetwear brand and could really use some input. I’ve attached an image of the design in progress – it features a skull wearing a crown, with two rifles crossed behind it. I’m aiming for a bold, rebellious vibe that resonates with street culture, while also keeping it clean and impactful.
Here's the design – let me know what you think!
I’d appreciate any feedback on:
