Month 4:Beyond 90 Days: Career Growth & Continuous Learning
Immediate Next Steps (Days 91-120)
Your first month post-graduation focuses on active job search, freelance project acquisition, and portfolio expansion. Apply to 3-5 positions daily on platforms identified during training. Continue creating personal projects that explore your chosen specialization deeper. Engage with design communities, share work regularly, and build your professional network. Many graduates land their first opportunity within 30-60 days of completing training.
Salary Expectations & Growth Trajectory
Entry-level graphic designers in India earn ₹3-5 LPA, with specialization increasing starting salaries to ₹5-8 LPA for UI/UX or ₹4-7 LPA for motion graphics. Mid-level designers (2-3 years experience) command ₹6-12 LPA, while senior designers earn ₹15-25 LPA. Art directors and creative directors at agencies or product companies earn ₹18-50+ LPA. Freelance designers can earn ₹15,000-₹80,000 per project depending on scope and complexity. Your earning potential grows rapidly as you build portfolio, gain experience, and develop specialization expertise.
Freelance Opportunities
Freelancing offers flexibility and often higher hourly rates than employment. New designers find projects on Upwork, Fiverr, Freelancer, and through direct outreach to small businesses. Starting rates typically range ₹500-1500 per hour or ₹5,000-25,000 for small projects. As you build reputation and portfolio, rates increase significantly. Many designers maintain freelance clients while employed, building toward full-time independent practice. The skills learned in this bootcamp prepare you for both employment and entrepreneurship paths.
Continuous Skill Development
Design evolves constantly with new tools, techniques, and trends. Successful designers commit to continuous learning through online courses, tutorials, and experimentation. Adobe regularly updates Creative Cloud with new features worth exploring. Follow design blogs, YouTube channels, and thought leaders on social media. Participate in design challenges, contribute to open-source projects, and experiment with emerging technologies like AI design tools. Your growth mindset and learning agility determine long-term success more than initial skill level.
Building Your Design Business
Many graduates eventually transition to running their own design studios or agencies. Start by freelancing individually, then partner with other designers or developers for larger projects. Build systems for client acquisition, project management, and service delivery. As reputation grows, you can hire junior designers and focus on strategy and client relationships. The business skills developed during this course create foundation for entrepreneurship if that path interests you.
