I am a Landscape Architect by trade but ever more increasingly diversifying (due to the times) taking on graphic design, corporate id etc. to get money on the board ....

Although being nudged into graphic design. I am finding i have a real graphic interest so much so that i find i like it more than my profession ...

In short i would like to do more of it. So if anyone needs some cheep freelance work doing i would be very happy to take it on in my spare time.

Mild mannered Childminder by day (it pays the bills and I'm home with my kids) but masked defender of tableless design by night........that's a web designer between you and me.

I'm also a graphic designer - I did it a college and I also dabble in photography in my spare time (I am only learning - I got my first DSLR for Xmas)

Hey

I had joined a couple of days a go.

I work for a graphic/web design company in good ol Norfolk.

Thought i'd sign up for graphics tips and also to offer my services to anyone needing some artwork to keep the mind ticking over and help build on my portfolio.

I also like to take pictures in my spare time (nothing special but gets me out the house). Am working on a website to display my pics and some work i have done.

I am trying to get into freelance work and also find a full time design position.

Here for advice and would like to find a way to have people critique my work so I can become a better designer.
