I went on the site to see if I could get some clients and send out some proposals. I had everything sent to ship until I saw the cost to apply but that wasn’t the issue. The issue I came across was the fact that the bids by other freelancers are stupidly over the top. I pay for the premium subscription for upwork where it gives me an allotted 100 credits a month but I’m basically compelled to spend more if I want to be noticed by a potential client. This website is going down hill more and more in my opinion. I’m a solo designer and I have to compete with studios on the same field . I feel like every time I come back to this site it becomes more abrasive towards freelancers.

Sorry for the unorganized thoughts.

Hi! Haven’t posted here in while but always lurking. I’m trying to shift into the fitness and wellness industry as a branding designer. Right now it’s speculative work I’m showing so you can go as deep as you need to with critiques. Actually I feel like I’m starting to miss the mark with this project. I’ll show the website, logo and additional assets like images and illustrations.

A mid 20’s Japanese woman focusing on training foreigners in Tokyo. The target audience is men and women aged from 20’s to late 30’s. She’s a bright and cheery personality that always encourage her clients almost like she’s their fan. She also loves Keith Haring and wanted to make shirts and post cards with illustrations in the stylistic vein but a little cuter.

Are we keeping upwork afloat ? (Small rant)
