In the whole blogosphere, I introduced myself as a teen blogger, photographer and graphic designer. Yeah, being a blogger and photographer is fun. And being a graphic designer is fun, too. The first thing that I blog here is about my digital artworks in different styles. Most of them are photo manipulations of my photos. In short, I really love graphic designing.

And, right now, I have a question to myself that I need to answer. What are the advantages of being a blogger and graphic designer at the same time?

1. Create your own graphics. If you’re a graphic designer, I know you can create your own desired blog theme. I know you can design your own blog logo. And I know you don’t have to hire someone and spend money to create your 125×125 blog badge or your own blog mascot. In blogging, you need to be a creative writer, but you need to impress your readers with nice pictures within your blog, too. And these pictures are just a piece of cake if you know how to design graphics very well.

2. Blog revenues plus graphic designing job payments. So, you’re making money online, right? Then, be a graphic designer, too. With blogging, you can earn money by posting paid posts/reviews, adding ads on your blog or even persuading your readers to try a specific product for some money. Yeah, that’s you (and me). In graphic designing, you can earn lots of money, too. How? You can accept graphic design jobs, in direct offers. Many bloggers and webmasters around need the beauty of your designs. And most of them are willing to pay for your efforts (mostly in you desired price). But if no one offers you one, you can hunt them. In different freelancing websites, there are lots of job openings in graphic designing field. And guess what, they are willing to pay you not only dollars, but hundreds and hundreds of dollars (please take note of that).

This (left) is one of my first edited photo. It was horrible. But I'm still proud that I made this one.

Graphic designing can be considered as my “other woman” if photography is my “wife”. I love graphic designing as I love photography. It’s my cure in my boredom sickness and a teacher in my artistic knowledge. Years passed and graphic designing is still here with me, and making me always happy.

I still remember my first try in Adobe Photoshop (which is one of the tools in graphic designing). I just apply simple effects, and always saying “t*e” when an error message pops out. Adobe Photoshop is a huge complicated world. And, I must admit that there are a lot of functions on it that I still don’t know.

Here are my old digital artworks. Some of them were posted here, and has different stories, too.
