Week 87: From 0 to $25k Freelance Web Design at 18
๐ฎ๐น Took my Mom to Rome for 10 days
๐ฝ Went to New York to go to @ChrisWillx event

Got closer to God, achieved dream physique, but
most importantly,
I stopped seeing the death of my father as something scary, terrifying, petrifying, and unfair
but rather as something positive, which got me where I am today.
Learnings:
1. Take extreme ownership over everything, over any failure with the client. Over
2. Consistency really compounds. Design, design, design. Feedback, feedback, feedback. Repeat
3. Desired reality takes time to catch up. Don't rush, everything will come in due time
4. Nothing is against, everything is for you. Every failure and mistake is an opportunity to learn.
5. Aligned character attracts opportunities and joy. Become a person worthwhile talking to. Become a person who has a story.

๐Learnings:
During this week of doing redesign I learnt that there are ups and downs in designing. One design will come out better than another. I just need to learn, learn and learn, train, train, and train again that's how I'll become better. As everything great in life comes after doing it many, many times.
What I've learnt this week:
- Basics of typography
- Center layout
- Basics of color theory
What I'll be focusing on in a following week:
- How to make better buttons
- Experimenting with new layouts
- How to make better headlines (gradients, font pairing)
- More complex designs
What I'll be working on:
- Finally making X banner
- Setting up a newsletter
Also, Let me know if you'd like to see posts or videos about my lifestyle! I could share more about:
- Workouts I'm doing
- Books I'm reading
- Deeper dive into my freelance journey
- Other topics: Productivity tips, daily habits, or anything else you'd be interested in.
Thank you guys for all the support๐. I really appreciate you all!
I got inspired to start making posts like this by @screenfluent. You are crushing it Szymon๐!
Heading off to next amazing week๐ซก!
@mikekus@webexpo How do you work between tools meaning, do the painting by hand, then get it in such a high quality to photoshop and then to fimga.
Super interesting

@uxkosta How will you manage to add the products using bar scanning (without manually adding this product)? Maybe it's possible to buy this data and implement it
@uxkosta I've been to a couple of countries. Poland beats all of them.
Don't go to Warsaw (capital), go to either Gdansk (north, near sea) or Cracow (south). Ideally both
