Freelance Matters | Who Are You Working For?

I found this really interesting blog "Jeremy and Kathleen" when looking at wedding invitation inspirations, and then found an article they had written about working freelance. Now I don't really know which design sector I'm going to head for and I was thinking of doing some of my own work over the summer holidays.

Her article talks about the importance of working for yourself and making you do the things you love as well as working for clients. She talks about how to do this in a general form so that it doesn't feel like you HAVE to do those things in order to do what you love.

What attracted me the most was that she stressed the importance of doing work for yourself first (so creating your own branding, making yourself be the client) as it'll help you find those potential clients. I know this before I read the article but only now did that actually sink in. It made me realise that I really really need to give my all when it comes to designing for myself, as that's what will attract clients.

I work really hard at uni so I'm not too stressed out about that, but now I'm thinking, maybe I should pay more attention to how I display my work. I normally just take photos off my phone of the final piece or just submit the photoshop version onto Behance, but maybe I should use my camera instead and make sure that the print out is just as good.

I need to perfect my branding methinks, and to include a section on this blog so that people could see all of my work. I need to be more "in the know" in the design world and perhaps look for other blogs and start involving myself in the design network.

Thanks, Kathleen! Your article really opened my eyes! To see her article click here.

  2. Excellent point C. August. I believe men and women must remember that the Leangains approach does not mean paleo
    method. The way in which I interpret Leangains is that it is for someone who is trying to take their body for the
    next level. I consider it truly is fair to
    say that someone who is overweight and hunting to shed unwanted fat would
    have considerably success around the "paleo" strategy by restricting carbohydrate (considerably like Richard).
    This wouldn't call for calorie counting or worrying as well a lot about macronutrient ratios.
