Hi everyone!
I'm new to Contra and I'm really excited to be here. I was told about the platform and I loved the idea of a professional workspace that feels like a social network.
I’ve been working as a graphic designer, illustrator, and content creator for more than 14 years, specializing in creating visual pieces with strong identity, personality, and high attention to detail.
I’m ready to start sharing my work with the community. Feel free to follow me, leave a comment, or give me any advice. I’ll be happy to receive feedback and, above all, connect with new projects.
I hope to land my first project here soon and create amazing things together!😊 👍
Glad to have you too.
I'm new also. Let's connect❤️
Hi Peter Hephzibah Chimagbanwe, it's a pleasure, my friend! I'm so glad you like it! I'll be uploading a lot more content like this, so feel free to follow me! Do you have any advice you'd like to give me on the Contra platform?
I love watching an art process video, this is great 😍
I'll be publishing a lot more work very soon!
By the way, do you have any tips or advice for someone just getting started on Contra?
And one quick question: Is it allowed to share links to my Instagram or Behance portfolio in the posts?
Absolutely! Adding more samples of great work to your profile is always good, but I'd also recommend sending Review requests to clients you've worked with previously. You can do so under 'Reviews' on your profile.
And yes, that's totally allowed. You can also post Case Studies...
These tips are incredible, I'll take them into account and I'll write to you soon at CONTRA's email address. By the way, do you think that as an illustrator of clothing brands, products, and character creator for companies, I could get work on the platform? 😊 👍
Welcome to Contra, Christopher 😊
Hi, thank you so much for commenting. Do you have any advice you could give me about the platform? 😄
I highly encourage you to try and showcase the type of projects you want to get hired for, so that clients can quickly pin down what you can offer them! Sometimes being too broad can diminish the clarity of the work
You just gave me great advice. I've been working in illustration and digital art for products and brands for the last 10 years, and I even design mascots for companies and products. I truly love what I do and hope to reach the right people here. Best regards, Celia!
Welcome Christopher! The community here is what drew me to Contra as well 😄
Hi, thank you so much for commenting. Do you have any advice you could give me about the platform?
I wish! I've had my account for years, but only just recently (within the past month) started learning more about the platform & being more active. So we're kind of in the same boat lol!
I'd say that once you've gotten comfortable with the platform, a Pro membership could be a...
Yes, I will continue sharing content and then I'll upgrade to the pro plan, but first I want to learn how to use this incredible platform because I would like to start my career in illustration here at Contra!
