Hello,
I'm Felicity and have had a keen interest in Graphic Design for a few years however i didn't pursue my interest as i was busy with College. I've now left College and am currently on a Gap Year before i attend University.
Now that i've got some spare time on my hands i'd like to start attracting clients and indulging in my passion!
However i currently have a number of issues;
1. I do not have a portfolio of my work, i assume prospective clients would like to look at my previous work, but as i haven't got any examples what should i do?
2. How should i attract clients? Any useful networking sites out there? I've tried GumTree for offering my service of image retouching but that ended up in disaster as the client didn't get pay me!
Any other advice for new starters would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Felicity
