Hi, I am not sure if this is exactly the correct place to post this, and I did do a quick search but couldn't find anything recent that was similar... mods, feel free to move or delete etc.
Basically, I have recently looked into theaoi.com and a few other associations, guilds etc. and wanted some first-hand advice on the benefits of joining. If anyone uses theaoi, do you regularly get work through it, or do you mainly benefit from their resources etc?
What are the best places to join?
I personally come from an art-based background but work as a graphic designer and illustrator. I have never joined a guild or association, but now feel like I am missing out on valuable information. Would you join more than one if you do more than one specific thing? i.e. would joining a graphic design and an illustration guild/association be beneficial? I'm just trying to figure out if I should join one. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks
