Journal Entry # 11: My First Logo Gig

Dec 20, 2022

Hey! What's up AfriCan Fam! I hope all is well with you. I'm doing great! It's been a while since my last post and I apologize for that. I have been occupied with lots of ideas for logos personal and professional. As the title states, I have successfully completed my first official paid logo graphics! I'm so excited and I'm also happy I could help someone's ideas become a reality.

I posted a free ad on the JiJi App here in Ghana and I finally got a message asking for my services. I was over the moon when the client ask me to make a few concepts for him. On day 1 I created a few concept designs from the information he gave me for the business he was starting. 2 days later he chose his final design and delivered the logo to him via WhatsApp. he was so pleased with my work he paid me in advance and he wanted 2 more logos done for his church and someone else. the client was attracting more clients to me. Within 5 days I had done 2 logos while working on the 3rd. I went from 0 clients to having 2.

Yesterday I sent him the concepts of the church logo (design # 3) and he replied to me with a voice message saying how pleased he is with my work and he was speechless. I was ecstatic because I could hear the excitement in his voice. This was a huge confidence boost for me! I was also amazed while looking at the finished logo thinking "I made this?!" "Wow!" I've learned a lot these past few days doing designs and I am always excited to learn and use these new skills I've practiced to help others.

I will be posting the logos I've created for you to view.

Thanks for chilling with me and reading my journal entry. If you enjoyed it be sure to stay tuned for more to come and check out some of the other recent posts. Also, if you could share with others who would be interested, like, and comment I would greatly appreciate it! Until next time. Later.
