Find local networking event you can go to and meet local small businesses. Small businesses will require help with branding, literature and web sites. It's a great place to start. Do a good job for them and they will recommend you within their business circles.

But that said, going back to the OP, yes re-rendering a PDF because a bullet point isn't aligned you must 100% do. I don't think anyone would want to put out work with errors. And as for the client not providing the assets, you need to factor that into the time and cost. You will learn to...

You're describing what I actually call 'That'll do syndrome'. This came from way way back when I was in design college, I don't remember the full details, it's one of those things that I'm sure the memory isn't exactly what happened. But it was along the lines of, one of the students reached...

For premium cards, I've used Aubergine Print for years. I don't know how the price compares to what you've been using but I've never had a problem with the quality. Their service is good and they ship direct to the customer in unbranded packaging. Assuming you're printing for a client then you...

There's always lots of useful content on Youtube, try this for starters.

ah, so is it a layering issue? I'm not 100% sure how an Edge works, but what I think you're saying is.... If you use a clear base and print a yellow design, if that was then stuck on a red car for example the yellow would look orange. Is that right? In which case you want to back the yellow...

Hi, I've used Illustrator for many years in print and publishing. I also used to produce cut vinyl. A colleague of mine had a Gerber Edge, and I was aware it could do stuff that I couldn't do with just vinyl. I haven't touched that side of the business in some 15 years or so. I guess your...

When I started out..... a long long time ago, I had some work experience in an architects office. Whilst there were plan chests, which I assume would take up too much space for you I guess, I remember some kind of hanging storage solution for plans. A quick Google search to check I'm not going...

I'm going for a different approach to answering this. If you've done what the client has asked, and they are happy, take the money and move on. For some jobs/clients you just need to take a commercially viable approach. Will you get paid more for giving more? Is additional work to persuade a...

I have a lot of experience in this area and trust me, if you're looking to show the user how their design will look on screen before printing expect to have a lot of money reaady. I worked on theDogsDoodhas website, A spin off from Emotional Rescue. At one time they were the third biggest...

Looks stylish but far too much text. As designers we're probably all on large screens, click the link and think it looks great. But you should be thinking Mobile First, this will encourage you to reduce clutter and get to the point quickly. Yes, it's responsive but I'm sure that's just...

I quoted on some brochure work once, put it down as a weeks work. But they insisted they wanted it in 2 days so I pulled an all nighter got it done in a day and charged a couple of grand. Good luck, although you posted on Saturday so I assume you've finished it now?

Panels can be bought, but where's the fun in that. The items available aren't great and with regards to angle up and towards the driver, most I've seen are for European market so left hand drive so the guages would be tilted towards the passenger :sneaky: And yes, if I get the hang of it, and...

So I've downloaded and installed a copy of Fusion360 by Autodesk, Autodesk also do the browser based software TinkerCAD. I had a look at TinkerCAD but it felt too basic for what I thought I might end up getting into so although a steeper learning curve with Fusion I think it will be better. It's...

... for hobby rather than career related, I tinker with old cars and bikes in (what little) spare time I have, I keep putting it off but feel it really should be something I should get into for those little hard to come by broken parts or small custom bits and bobs.
