A friend of mine interned in NH1. You will get an amazing portfolio from there but they are quite stingy about money and getting a full time job might be tough. They made my friend work for 8 months as intern with fake promises of promoting her to a full time job. 
 But their design grasp is amazing and the work quality is kiss worthy.

This was on my list too, not sure if my current portfolio can get me in either animal or NH1. I really hope it's enough ;)  
 If it's not too much to ask, do you mind checking it out, i would love to get a fresh perspective on it.

Senior Designer

I interned in Animal during my college days. And it was a great experience. The things I learned there still has an impact on me as a designer :) 
 Obviously the intern pay is really less, close to 10K where they deduct the tax as well (but animal never paid that tax to the government 🙈) 
 Apart from that, a great experience, amazing folks, you will end up with a good portfolio and the senior designers over there really mentor the Interns unlike most of the internships.

That's great, that's exactly what I am looking for actually, a place where I can learn and grow. Recently finished my portfolio (yay!), I was thinking of applying.

What is your experience working in Branding agencies of Delhi/Mumbai- Grapevine

I am a self taught graphic designer with two years of experience. In which I have worked in a well known startup as their lead graphic designer including some in house and agency roles. I would like to know about the salary to expect or quote while getting offers from agencies based in Mumbai or Bangalore!

Are design agencies or marketing agencies any good to graphic designers?

I'm currently interviewing for 2 companies, 1st one is Deloitte and another one is a seed stage startup that has a potential to make it big ( I'm assuming). The founder is super nice and I'll be working with him and a product engineer.

What are the pros and cons of working in both the companies?

Ps- I'm having an experience of working as a ux designer in a design agency for 2 years

Working in an MNC vs working as a solo product designer at a seed stage startup?

Product Designer

Designers, what have your experiences been like working in in-house brand/marketing teams vs agencies? If you’ve worked in both - Which do you prefer? Why?

For designers who have worked in in-house brand/marketing teams: What has it been like for you? Is there scope for creativity in the companies you’ve worked in?

For designers who have worked in agencies: How has your experience been? Would you stick to agency side or switch?

Product Manager

Really excited to do this! 

Here's a little bit about my career:

- I dropped out of college to build a design studio with 20+ people for 4 years before leaving that to start another studio.

- I’ve worked across most major startups in Bangalore (not including brand names here for anonymity)

- I’ve worked across brand identity design, UX/UI, social media marketing, ad films, animation/motion graphics, and 3D

Happy to answer questions about design, freelancing, starting an agency/studio, the design industry, etc.

#1/15 Sharing Book Summary

Top Five Principles of Persuasion by Robert Cialdini

1. Principle of Reciprocity
Humans value balance and dislike feeling indebted. When someone gives you a gift, you feel compelled to return the favor. In business, this can be seen in restaurants where a small mint given with the bill can increase tips by 3%. If the waiter adds a personal touch, tips can increase by 23%. To use this principle, be the first to give and make your gesture personalized and unexpected.

2. Principle of Scarcity
People want what is rare or in limited supply. For example, imagine a popular concert with only a few tickets left. When people hear that tickets are almost sold out, they rush to buy them, fearing they'll miss out. This urgency and exclusivity drive demand. In business, create a sense of urgency by highlighting limited availability or exclusive offers to encourage quick decision-making.

3. Principle of Consensus
People follow the actions of others. In hotels, signs asking guests to reuse towels for environmental reasons achieve 34% compliance. Changing the message to "8 out of 10 guests reuse their towels" increases compliance to 52%. Leverage social proof by showcasing how many others have made the same choice.

4. Principle of Authority
People are more likely to be influenced by those who are authoritative and knowledgeable. For example, dentists in white coats endorse toothpaste, and renowned movie directors promote the camera capabilities of mobile phones. Authority and credibility build trust, making people more likely to follow their advice.

5.Principle of Liking
People are more likely to be influenced by those they like. According to Cialdini's research, MBA students who discussed personal interests before negotiating reached agreements 90% of the time, compared to 55% for those who got straight to business.

Software Developer

I've been in this field for about 15 years now and post-covid this field has become a borderline joke and I feel embarrassed about Design in India.

Do not think that Designing involves ONLY a lot of Visual Design work, importance to "craft", motion design etc.

The kind of work you need to do should involve a LOT of user research, planning, testing, domain knowledge, technical knowledge and actual hands on design work.  I don't get to do a lot of it today but back in the day it was all that we were taught by our Design Leads.

Now because of these influencers whenever I tell people that Design is innovative and based in Behavioural Science, they assume that my work is easy, doesn't take much time, I just have to design screens etc and I keep on explaining to them that you're wrong and there's more to it.

Thanks to clown influencers, kids think if they follow these clowns they can get into FAANG or some top tier company.

I'm really scared of the state of Design in India 5 years down the line when these design kiddies become more senior.

Too much negativity everywhere. I just want to find ppl who genuinely like what they are doing. If you are one, what do you do and what makes you happy?

is there someone who actually...LOVES their job?

I just joined a semi government organisation in delhi as a Senior Graphic Designer. Prior to that I have worked for early stage startups and been a contributor to their growth story. But in my current organisation they don't like If I do things on my own or create something different from their existing designs. They even tell me what colors or font to use in designs particularly the assistant content manager who assigns work. Anything I make is rejected and replaced by their old ideas which they are following. How to deal with this?
