Yes, I guess your right there it would probably come back and bite you doing stuff for free, i.e. like you say the goal posts being changed etc. :(

Why not do free design work for friends/people/business you know to get a portfoilo built up. Plus it may turn into paid work in the future. I.e. the brochure that you design for free for a local business, in 12 months when then want alterations you may be able to charge a little bit to do...

Hi, I have an issue with Adobe Illustrator CS5 that has been bothering me for years. I access AI design files over a network. The files are stored on an external hard disk on an iMac and everyone accesses them over the network from their desktop or laptop. On my laptop however (a 2010...
