Hey
I'm a communication design graduate fairly competent with graphic design although my portfolio definitely needs sprucing up. (I spent most of my efforts focusing on illustration)
I've been working full time in a job completely unrelated to design just to earn some money but it's beginning to get me down quite a lot. I have a fair few savings so was considering jumping the gun and just quitting to work on my portfolio and put all my efforts into design.
Is this a wise decision? I would really appreciate some advice from those more experienced. My ambition is to be self employed anyway, is this the best time to just take the plunge?
I have found it difficult making time or even being inspired to do some design work what with my general mood and work timetable.
