Different Ways to Earn a Living as a Designer

I frequently come in contact with students who are studying design or designers who are interested in pursuing other ways towork with their skills and experience. In this post we'll take a look at some of the many ways that it's possible to earn a living as a web or graphic designer, and hopefully this information will prove to be helpful to those who are looking at the possibilities that exist.For each method listed below I was able to connect with a designer who is making money in this manner, and there is a brief statement from that designer on the subject of what they like about their job. A list of pros and cons are also provided for each method. Of course, the pros and cons will vary depending on each person's circumstances, and I'm sure other things could be added to the lists (feel free to leave your own pros and cons in the comments).While each of these methods is capable of producing a full-time income, in reality many designers use a combination of the methods. With that in mind, some of the cons listed will not be so significant if there is another source of income.

1. Client Work

The most common way for designers to earn a living is to work for clients. This could be work as a freelancer, as an employee of a design agency, or if you're really ambitious you could start your own agency.
