The Truth About Freelancing: Busting Common Misconceptions

What is Freelancing? Common misconceptions

Freelancing means free lunch 😂😂😅😅
 
Freelancing, freelancer refers to a person who is self-employed and not necessarily committed long-term to a particular employer. In other words, to become a freelancer, you have to work online, not according to the above definition, but in different countries including Bangladesh, freelancer means a person who works online.
What exactly is freelancing? Is it free money? Or something that anyone can easily do? Let’s start with a fact:
 
If you go to a doctor for checkup but found out that his certificate was fake or went to a mechanic and found out that he doesn’t know how to work, now how much will you trust him to treat or give work? If I were you, I would stay ten miles away.

This time you apply the same logic to the freelancing sector; The rules of the online world are real, It is not mars or different planet where the money will double in 25 days or some crap.

Any client wants to hire the most skilled person for his project. So which one does he choose? 6 months apprentice or many years experienced worker?

Here you can say that, many people get work in 6-10 months, how do they get it? Don’t get me wrong, I can work hard and land a gig in 5-6 month or but you can’t earn 1 lac Taka or 1000 Dollar per month in such short time as many TV channels and training centers are promoting.

This is called False Advertising. Headlines such as “Women millionaire with baby in hand with laptop and internet connection” are often seen. How true is this news? You can get the real deal by asking any experienced freelancer.
 
These days there are some training centers that teach freelancing courses but can’t do it themselves. There are also some people who join these courses who are not taught any work and if they are taught anything, they are not freelancing by any means.
 
All these organizations give them a referral system, where they admit others and get money, hey they say this is freelancing, Happy Freelancing. Hey brother, open your eyes, they can’t see how they are deceiving you and your acquaintances.

 

Finally, some people will say that working in this sector is very easy, Ah yes!!! it is so easy that millions of people come every year but few survive.

After all this discussion we know it is too easy to get work; even you don't need to try. Can you imagine, if it was difficult to work in this sector then the situation would have worsened.

Cracking the Code: Unravel the Complexity Behind 3D Animation

What makes 𝟑𝐃 animation more difficult?


In 3D animation, many of the technical factors to consider do not apply to 2D animation. First and foremost, when you create a scene, you need to create all of your characters separately from any background or environment. For example, for walking you need a file for each limb: arms, legs, torso, and head.

Additionally, these elements are combined into what are called rigs, which give the character various gestures and movements. From here, it’s all about creating your characters with intricate details that bring them to life, which is where technical know-how like rigging and animation come into play.

What is Blender software and why should you start using it?

Blender is a 3D software that has been around since 2002, and since then, it has grown in popularity, so much so that it has become one of the most popular 3D modeling programs today.
 
It has millions of users around the world – including indie filmmakers, game developers, industrial designers, architects and many other fields where 3D modeling is essential.

Here’s everything you need to know about Blender 3D software and why you should start using it Open source and free.

1. Open source and free :

Blender 3D is an open-source and free, cross-platform software that has been around since 2002. The program offers advanced features typically found in more expensive applications such as Maya or Autodesk. Nevertheless, Blender can run on almost any computer due to its advanced architecture.

2. Complicated Interface :

The Blender interface takes some getting used to. Its user interface is different from other programs, even Maya and Autodesk. However, everything from modeling to animation becomes much easier once you know how to use it. The most notable advantage of Blender’s UI is its visual nature: when working with your 3D model, only the tabs needed for a specific action will be shown. It navigates around your scene faster than other programs, where each option has to be accessed through multiple menus.

3. Hundreds of tutorial :

Blender has hundreds of online tutorials. Not only are these tutorials free, but you can learn how to use Blender by watching these tutorials. The funny thing is, most tutorials can be completed in just a few minutes or hours.

4. Both 3d animation and 2d animation :

Blender is suitable for both 3d animation and 2d animation. You can use Blender to create movies, games, 3d graphics, architectural visualization, scientific visualization, product visualization, etc. There are tons of free tutorials on YouTube that will help you learn how to use Blender in no time. Blender flame is a bit difficult at first, but once you get used to it, you can easily make a lot of things.

5. Beneficial communities/groups :

One of my favorite things about open source projects like Blender is that they offer a helpful community/group that anyone can join. If there’s something you don’t understand, chances are there are other people just like you who want to know about it, so asking your questions in these communities/groups can get answers. Also, watch tutorials or live streams from people with more experience than you; You may find some valuable information!

6. Practice, Practice and Practice :

The best way to get used to any new hardware or software is to practice. Don’t just read how to use tools like blenders; Instead, learn by doing. After all, practice makes perfect and eventually you will succeed with the effort you put in.

Graphic Design Mastery: Cultivating a Keen Eye for Visual Excellence

How can Someone develop the eye to design good graphics?

No one can design well from the beginning of their design career. It requires a lot of hard work, patience and some special qualities.
One of them is having good eyes, it doesn’t mean having good eyesight, it means good design recognition, design elements, alignment, clear space, color recognition etc.

1. Browse Design Regularly 👀 :

No matter where you go on the road, walk or take the bus, you will see the billboard banner next to you. Some of them are absolutely bad and some are good or excellent.
Now notice why bad design is bad, and what are the problems; For example :- Color, clear space, typography etc. These details will teach you to distinguish a good design from a bad one.

2. Following design trends 📈:

Most new designers make the mistake of not following design trends even after looking at other designs. Many people see old designs from Google.
So even if you take inspiration from graphicriver or freepik then you will definitely see the latest stuff. Behance and many other websites publish design trends annually.
Moreover, there are many types of design groups/pages on Dribble, facebook, twitter, Instagram, linkedin which provide daily/weekly design inspiration posts. Following these design rules gives good results.
Design Trends on Behance: https://cutt.ly/BE2021TRENDS

3. Know the design principles 📜 :

  • Hierarchy – Pay attention to what is presented first in a design, what information is presented, what color and what type of text is used in which design element.
  • Content – What kind of words are used, which words/sentences are highlighted, how spacing is used etc.
  • Intent – Why was this design created? What kind of problem does it solve? And how can it be improved so that it can better solve the problem?
  • Audience – Who is the design made for? How might their field of use differ from yours? How does the design meet the needs of these use cases?

Research more about these & read this article for details: https://cutt.ly/rQmRcgB

4. Practicing or Practicing 🎯 :

You may have a good eye for design but it won’t work if you don’t practice what you learn. With practice you will learn more about which elements come in handy when and where. Just by making the design yourself you will get an idea of its structure which is better than just looking at it.

5. Taking Feedback & Correcting Errors 🛠️ :

You can post in different groups or have your mistakes caught by an experienced designer that you won’t see.
Once mistakes are corrected, they won’t cause future problems and improve your design.

6. Risk taking ⚠️ :

Instead of trying something traditionally, you can experiment. Which will help you progress as a designer.
📦 Your think out of the box thinking can bring breakthrough in design.
— Learn the design rules, so you can break them!
You can create good and remarkable designs even going against the trend with regular practice.

2D vs 3D Animation: Which is harder?

𝟑𝐃 animation vs 𝟐𝐃 animation

2D and 3D have some significant differences that distinguish them from animation. One isn’t necessarily more complicated than the other, it all depends on what you’re looking for as an animator.

What is 𝟑𝐃 design?
 
Before you start working on any animation, it is essential to know exactly what 3D design is and how it differs from other forms of visual art. The most basic way to define 3D design is to take an image and add a third dimension to it, using technology to create an optical illusion that makes something look three-dimensional.

There are different types of 3D designs, each aimed at a specific industry or direction of innovation. These include architectural design, product design, industrial design and medical simulation. You might not realize it, but almost every movie you’ve seen uses some form of 3D design.
In fact, many animated films are made with computer generated images! To work in these fields as a designer or animator (or both), you must have some level of knowledge about how these designs work, and luckily for all of us, there are plenty of ways to learn more about them.

What makes 𝟑𝐃 animation more difficult?

In 3D animation, many of the technical factors to consider do not apply to 2D animation. First and foremost, when you create a scene, you need to create all of your characters separately from any background or environment. For example, for walking you need a file for each limb: arms, legs, torso, and head.

Additionally, these elements are combined into what are called rigs, which give the character various gestures and movements. From here, it’s all about creating your characters with intricate details that bring them to life, which is where technical know-how like rigging and animation come into play.

What is 𝟐𝐃 animation?

The skill of creating movement in two-dimensional space is known as 2D animation.

2D is a popular and influential media. Television programs, video games, feature films, advertisements, mobile applications and websites feature it. The famous example of 2D is for Tom and Jerry. Snapchat and other social media platforms produce 2D animated programs with short episodes of 1-3 minutes. Even 2D platform video games like CUPHEAD have seen a recent surge in popularity.

“Everything online (commercial, entertainment) uses animation, even if you don’t recognize it,” explains Scott Claus, CG Spectrum’s 2D animation mentor. “The medium is changing rapidly. Television animation has exploded in popularity, and streaming providers are always looking for new material.”

What makes 𝟐𝐃 more easier?

While 2D may seem remotely easy to create, animation, in general, is much more complex. Although you don’t have to worry about modeling and texturing a character, it takes incredible skill and time to create high-quality 2D animation.
 
However, some elements give 2D an edge over 3D. Many people don’t consider pre-production work when comparing these mediums. 2D animation can be created much faster than 3D; Once a storyboard is approved by all parties, animators can begin creating their scenes immediately.
The same cannot be said for 3D; The models must be created before the animator can start working on them. This process can take anywhere from weeks to months, depending on how detailed each model needs to be.

In the end, everyone comes to the goal. What you want to achieve reflects your decision to choose an animation medium. 2D or 3D.
