Self set projects

[rossfranc]

Hi,

I’m interested to know how many of us do our own personal projects.

SO, who does their own personal projects? And if so, why do you do them?

Thanks

Ross

I do them because it allows me to have complete creative control. I can run with ideas that are unique and fun but a client would probably never go for. It also means you can fill your portfolio with work that you'd want to be hired to do.

Thanks for your reply Paul. So your personal projects take the form of client led work?

Do you think that this is a subdued and tightly controlled form of self expression through your overall body of work/portfolio?
