I agree - chat to a good tattoo artist and they should be able to advise you. I'd take those samples in so you have a starting point. I also advise you to research local tattoo artists even if it means having to travel a bit to get your piece done. They all have their own styles and strengths...

I am loving the rebrand! I'm not completely sold on the interior though. Last year I popped into the one near York without realising it had been revamped - it was definately an improvement but think the blue sky thing looks kinda strange. Makes me laugh though cos we all know Heston suggested...

There isn't really a quick and simple way to do it, unless you JPG every page in your InDesign file and place into Word but that makes putting it in Word pointless! I think you might have to do copy and paste and reformat but could import the tables as JPGs if they don't need to be editable...

Thanks guys! Mark: I know the job market has been poor but that's really rough you were out of work that long after being made redundant. At least you have managed to get a new job at last! I've been made redundant twice already (!!) so know how it feels. Berry: Thanks, very much appreciate...

Hi there, I've been working as a graphic designer for 8 years and am currently in my fourth role. In the last year or so I've realised that I've never worked under a good creative director and as a result, my portfolio has suffered. I have always felt that I haven't been given allowed the...

Thanks for your replies everyone. Do you mean 12 pages in my actual portfolio or 12 pages of samples?? I am really struggling to get 12 pages of work in my actual portfolio due to the massive limitation of good work given to me in my current job and previous jobs, despite me doing stuff at home!

Hi there, I've decided it's time to start looking for a new job again and have been reworking my portfolio after getting some feedback from a friend in the industry. Having reached the conclusion I was showing far too much work, I've simplified it right down so I'm only showing one or two...

Levi - that's a bargain! Looks like that printer is a serious contender with the Epson Stylus one I was also looking at so I'm going to compare the two and make a decision from there. andy - Thanks, why are you selling the printer? I have to admit, I am a bit warey of HPs as it looks like a lot...

Or try making your own portfolio.Cheaper and unique! I made mine out of lots of mounting board and double sided tape for the covers with I then covered with some lovely oriental fabric and used wadding to stuff it. It looks really plush but didn't cost that much. I've used cord to bind it so I...

Thanks guys. I'm a bit wary of getting a HP printer as it looks like the ones that compare to the Epson I was recommended are really ropey with Windows 7 and I've read mixed reviews overall. However, I'll have a look at the Canon iX4000 as that's £225 on Amazon so not loads more than the...

Hi there, Don't all shout at me but yes I use a PC and have recently upgraded to Windows 7 and consequently my very old Epson printer is no longer supported so am looking to buy a new one. I'm looking for something A3 sized and Epson have recommended the Stylus Office B1100. It's looks like it...

Hey there! Having had a look at some of the other threads on here, I know a lot of others have asked similar questions, although this is a little different... I'm a graphic designer and have already designed a logo for my client but they have asked me to produce some illustrations/characters to...
