I am a Designer AMA!

Heya,

I am a designer at The Student Room, day to day I do lots of design to improve the user experience and interface of TSR. I also create ads, social media images, print designs and anything you can think of :tongue:

Also starting 'dabbling' in a bit of tattooing recently...

AMA about anything and everything :tongue:

It can vary depending on project, clients, audience size etc. but generally it is pretty good, and gets a lot better with specialisms, experience and a good portfolio

It depends really on what the design is for, generally on TSR the designs are measured by engagement eg. the amount of times a button, icon or something is interacted with. Or time spent on page or how many pages per session a user visits :tongue:

Yeah I think it will be a sort of side hobby / career I find it really relaxing and have a lot of friends that want me to tattoo them so just going to see if it organically grows or if I just get bored and move on to a new creative hobby haha
