Well said Dave, I couldn't agree more. I think with the right guidance and discipline I could work from home, but I can't see that happening in the next year or so atleast. I think I need some decent time in-house so I know how to conduct myself, even though I've been doing freelance for a while...

It's highly dependent on the sort of person you are Dave, that much is true. If you're a self motivator and can focus for lengthy periods, you'd be fine. However, if the situation was more strained knowing that this was my bread and butter financially speaking, I'd imagine that motivation would...

I completely agree Paul, it would be lonely and I know I'd end up procrastinating and relaxing too much, then freaking out that I've not enough time left to finish off the work! That website looks great! Is it only based in the UK or are their events in Ireland?

I would like to do the same Andy, but I think I know myself too well and that I'm more of a social person, needing the interactions of others around me to generate my concepts and have other opinions to bounce off. Speaking of working from home, there's a great article in Computer Arts at the...

Hi MuggahTee, Can you give some context to the design? It's often hard to critique something when you don't know the background information. Do you have the design in pure black and white? Aslong as it works in black and white, it should work in colour.

Hi Paul, Thank you for that well thought out reply, I really appreciate it. You're right on so many points, that I often just get bogged down in requirements and procedures that I often don't see the wood for the trees. I've been told time and time again that I'm a good designer, yet I think...

Hi Guys, I'm a member of another GD forum so I thought I'd post here instead as the content is somewhat negative towards what we all do here, though I'll elaborate. I graduated with a first class degree in Visual Communication in 2009 and since then, I've not obtained the continued success that...
