Enric Jardi's Twenty-two Tips on Typography is a must read. It's really insightful and smart. It's small but full of good tips, definitely worth a look.
Hi peeps,
Just applying for jobs and some are asking for proficiency with Mac based systems, of which I only have limited experience. I've been raised on PC's and learnt all the Adobe software in Windows. Is there a massive difference? Should I be trying to bridge any gaps or will I be ok...
Well, all of the points you have made me think hard, and in a round about way it's probably easier to just do it. I've been advised by a hardened friend not to bother but I like being nice I guess.

Thanks for all the advice folks. It's good to know there is a real sense of community amongst graphic designers, as freelancing from home can feel quite lonely/alienated. It's a tough learning curve, eh?
Cheers Mitch,
I suspected as much. I feel like a massive douche now. Ah well. There is one thing I left out; this guy is married to a friend of my sisters. My sister has said she doesn't want to get involved as it's her friend etc, but I think the time has now come. Thanks again.
