anyone got a view or advice from a designers perspective.. obviously last thing i want to do is quit my day job and get no work and more importantly no money...
Im looking for a change of work.. Im currently a web designer for a major international company and have been there for a year since leaving uni...
But now i really want to open up my creativity and start doing more sites from concept to final build and im really keen on doing this alone as a freelancer..
My concerns are though- how do I get work and whats the best way for me to get started.. im rebranding my portfolio site as a freelancer but whats the next step.. how do i start getting the jobs in? also I have no idea as to what to charge and I never really get an answer =( .. so any advice would be great.. currently im earning 33k a yr - should i xpect to increase my earnings?
I am currently working for an in house design design team for a major international brand and so therefore my work is always very specific styling so I really want to get into designing some more exciting work and also gaining some extra cash..
so my question is how do i go about finding work that I can do in my spare time which will help me excel my portfolio and earn that extra cash?
