Hi everyone, hope you are all well...
Just need some help and hoped someone out there could give me some advice.
I currently work in deign. I do all the graphics for a retail website, photography for the site and cut it all out and put it on the web. I create flyers that are posted out to customers and posters for a store. I also design email campaigns that go out.
I now have about 5 years experience in this field but I never did graphic design as a degree.
I am wanting to move on and realy get into graphic design in advertising, which is very similar to what I do now. However, I have very little experience in setting up for print. I have designed all flyers and posters using InDesign but never had to set up using bleeds etc as they were just printed off using a high quality commercial printer.
Does anyone think I could still do it and what sort of level would I expect to go in at?
I have been offered to stay on at the same company where they will give me experience in print but still wondering whether to move on or is this a good opportunity and not to be passed up?
Also, I am in the process of making my portfolio but unsure if it is going in the right direction. Anywhere out there that displays really good design portfolios that can be sent to job opportunities etc...
Please help!!!
cheers
