Graphic Designers used to be the chosen ones—the creatives, the artists, the ones who thought differently. But times have changed. AI is generating. Clients are prompting. And the gap between relevance and replacement is closing fast. Most Graphic Designers? They don’t even see it coming. They’re still fussing over colors and kerning while AI pumps out results in seconds. And the real kicker? Clients don’t care how it was made—just that it’s done.

Most graphic designers are still designing logos like it’s 2005. And it shows.

Pricing your Graphic design work shouldn't feel like rocket science—but for most Graphic Designers, it’s a total mindfk! Hourly? Project-based? Value-based? Everyone online's got an opinion, but let’s be honest—most of that advice is either incomplete or flat-out wrong, let alone providing you a game plan or roadmap on how-to charge for graphic design work. No wonder designers stay stuck, undercharging and second-guessing their worth. In this solo episode of The Angry Designer, Massim...

Graphic designers think they know typography. You pick a font, tweak some kerning, and boom—you’re a type expert, right? Wrong. Most designers are blind to the power of lettering, and it’s keeping them stuck in the same sea of mediocrity. While they tinker with fonts, lettering artists are out there crafting custom letterforms, charging premium rates, and landing clients like Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan, and Adobe.

Graphic designers are taught to create, not sell—and that’s exactly why so many talented designers stay broke. The harsh reality? Talent alone won’t make you successful. The industry is full of insanely skilled designers who struggle to make ends meet while less talented ones cash in—because they get it: design is a business.
