New here, photoshop user

Introduce Yourself
#1

Hello everyone,

I am new to graphic design, Photoshop in particular. I initially wanted to do content creation on Instagram. Progress is slow (I knew it was going to be), so I’m looking into general graphic design work opportunities. I slapped a ** contest site removed ** account together last night, but I’m sure there’s so many other opportunities out there.

I would say my photoshop proficiency is intermediate, not beginner, but not amazing either. I can provide a link to my portfolio (it’s just my insta content: images with quotes).

Lmk if you guys know of any good work opportunities for new graphic designers!

“I do Photoshop” is a fine start to becoming a graphic designer, but Photoshop is not a graphic design program. It is an image creation tool. And only one small part of a graphic designer’s tool kit. There is so much more to Graphic Design than pretty pictures.

You can maybe find work out there as an illustrator with Photoshop, but you’d be competing with AI.
To put yourself out there for paying work as a Graphic Designer, with only an intermediate skill in only one non-layout program is pretty much false advertising.
