    Mods, please move this if I have posted this in wrong area... Just crossed my mind if these things happen for us designers. I have been trying to Google this but have come up trumps. Also, if they exist, are they worth attending? Luke

    Graphic Design without the degree?

    Like yourself, my degree is not related to graphic design. Still getting to the point of freelancing as a designer as I have built up a good portfolio of voluntary work. I highly recommend voluntary work haha! A good step forward. If people want to pay, work out a cheap basic rate of your...

    Advice on a web design situation

    My views exactly. If they won't pay, why bother give them the goods?! As someone stated earlier, you wouldn't walk into a supermarket, grab something off the shelf, walk out and say 'I will pay later' lol.

    Dark Harvest Publishing Logo

    Can't you just use it off the website......

    A Designer's Salary

    This is useful. Something to base how much to pay yourself so you can disipline yourself with the cashflow! Saying that, with the current job I am in is paying far less than the minimum in my area. Bloody robdogs!

    Advice on a regular client - not agreeing over what looks professional...?

    Not much you can do to be honest. They are the client and you have to adhere to their decisions, whether their right or wrong (latter most of the time!). What you can do, is if they need promotional material is to subtley change the concept over time. I have done this to one particular big...
