Hi,
I'm just enquiring as to whether anyone could possibly offer me any period of work experience early next year? Im currently studying for an HND in Graphic Design, in Birmingham, and am available one or two days a week, or could work from home. Alternatively, I would be available during half terms, and other school holidays. I don't currently have a ready portfolio as I am starting to put one together.I'm still learning the software but am okay in Photoshp, freehand/illustrator, and enjoy corporate/business stationary & logos, leaflets, researching etc. Im not seeking paid work (though generosity is always welcome! lol), as I will still be learning, and just aim to build a good folio. You basically get a few bits of work for nothing (im sure im good at SME things!)
If interested, please leave a message on here for me!

Cheers!

Hi guys, i'm new on here so would just like to say 'hi' first!

I'm a 2nd year HND Graphic Design student, and wondering wether it would be worth my while setting up a part-time business on the side (graphics of course!).
I won't lie and say my design skills are amazing, because they're not, i'm still learning, but i think this would be a good way for me to learn heaps more.
I can do things such as: logos, business stationary, leaflets, posters, flyers, etc.
What could I charge for freelance work considering i'm still with 'student status'? Or could i just charge a flat rate for a certain thing?How do things like contracts work out, and what about dealing with printers?
I have not covered all of this as i've only started my 2nd year.
How do you go about advertising yourself, finding projects etc?

Sorry about the long post, but any advice would be much appreciated!
