How would I know how good of a designer I am?

Question

To me my designs looks good, at least for some months.But to others not so much.I want to go freelancing but I don't want to be a bad designer. So how do I find out if my logo/website/business card/backgrounds are good, and if not, what is bad about them?

Answer 1

Go on job interviews and ask the creative directors in charge of hiring for honest criticism of your work. When I graduated and took my school portfolio to job interviews, one creative director told me which pieces in my portfolio looked like I didn't want to be a designer and the ones that looked like I did. You can also post this question on a Linkedin design group with a link to your website and ask people to review your portfolio.
