I should add.. I am going to school for graphic design... haha sry

Answer 1

I work as a designer at an ad agency, and I think these are very good. Very finished, professional, and they feel absolutely right.

Shop yourself around with a portfolio of your best of this sort of work. Do you do other kinds of design, such as web sites?

Answer 2

Your designs are pretty good but you can't make a living just designing logos. You DO need a graphic design degree.

The hard fact is that there are thousands of people out there that can design logos just like you. Why would a employer pick you over some that does have a degree and has learned to design a multitude of things not just logos?

Keep at it...get your degree and you won't have any problems finding jobs.

Answer 3

first of all if you have done any work put the work into a portfolio presentation is everything , secondly when you put your resume together for an interview you should list the companies or projects that you have worked on in some way. There are many types of resumes but yours should be focused on your work history pertaining to this type of work. I'm a graphics and clothing designer with no degree i started out on my own marketing the small companies first (a stepping stone) most big companies already have someone to do this the first step put together your work in a portfolio so you have a professional appearance.

Answer 4

Well, if you've never been hired, you can't exactly use the present tense, saying, "I design..." Do you mean, "I WOULD LIKE to design..."? If so, create a portfolio for yourself, and start submitting stuff to different places.

As a matter of personal opinion, I think you will fare better with a college degree. There's a lot of competition out there.
