Hello everyone,

Besides art and alliance, is there any website that would post jobs related with graphic design job or printing shop?

I am fresh to this field, and I don't find much about graphics through Workopolisl, Monster or craigslist for the district of Vancouver.

Thank you for your help

I agree with rainbow-davie.

Only idiots would suggest singtao and other chinese places.  It is like stuck working in Chinatown--no future.

其實托屁都明白留响唐人街冇前途同 freelance = no job 呢個道理, 所以佢用咗幾年時間, 由响唐人街 freelance 賣後欄 搬咗過一條街 Hastings, fulltime 賣後欄, LYK 七折, 洋腸黑柴免費, 都幾發奮架...

I'm in the industry highly related / involved graphic designer.
First, don't listen to other people say..  SingTao?  BS la.  It will make your graphic skill worser and worser.  You will only learn print media graphic design, and ends up doing layout and non-exciting ad design.

If you are still  in school or in the course of changing job, while waiting for a full time, go to getafreelancer.com  or some other freelance website.  Try looking at other people's job and try bidding jobs there.  you will gain a lot of experience, and improve your skill.

Craigslist is not bad to start looking for job as well.

Few hot area for graphic design:
* Game graphic design
* interactive web design

It's a gift for them too, since they are still surviving.

Did he said he want to be "freelance"?  You are in Canada and please study your English.  Thank you.

If you are talking about my post, I only mean he can gain some experience.  No matter where you are, Asian country or Canada, Experience is important.
