My name is Aleksa, also known as Macola, and I would like to share the story of my captivating journey in the realm of graphic design.
My interest in Photoshop started when I was 15 years old. YouTube became my primary source of inspiration and activity, and I spent a lot of time watching foreign YouTubers. I was fascinated by the effort they put into their thumbnails and overall design. One day, I heard a YouTuber mention a program called Photoshop, and I immediately approached my neighbor, who had programming knowledge, for help. With his assistance, I acquired the program and began exploring its tools one by one.
I started by editing objects into my own pictures, and as I progressed, I delved into learning about lighting, mastering the pen tool, and discovering keyboard shortcuts. Eventually, a friend of mine, who was an esports player, introduced me to his team. We collaborated at a very affordable rate, and through word of mouth, I gained numerous clients. As my esports journey expanded, I found myself helping friends and others who had heard about my skills with logo and branding design.
Now, after nearly four years in this field, I am very receptive to advice and thrilled to continue learning new things. I am eager to pursue graphic design as a full-time career and build a successful path in this field.
