thank-you for your comments Mickey it was very helpful. I'm in the situation where we are trying to take on jobs in design, as a starting point which come our way (hence the winging it scenario).
We are fortunate in the fact that we do have jobs lined up, although these are all web-based projects. we would like to apply our graphic design skills to this discipline, and hopefully involve people within our budget to achieve the required outcome.
Any tips and advice on starting out in the business would be most welcome.
I am currently working on a web project, the client has asked if i could host the site for them. They have already bought two domain names, is it possible to link both domain's to one site, as one is for international cliental, and the other is based in the UK.
As far as hosting, i know this may seem a little naive but when a client is asking for hosting, does this mean, maintenance of the site over a set period i.e updating imagery and information, as well as sorting out a monthly plan...??
If so how much should we consider charging for this service per year...?
Any recommends on plans...?
My partner and I are at presenting visuals stage and plan to expand on our knowledge of flash and dreamweaver, taught at university (very recenty) can anyone out there recommend any usefull sites that will make life easier with problems which will ocurr....?
PAGE SIZES.........Is it a better solution to develop the site in flash to maintain the screen sizes are contained within the same background, with no white edges...??
What page size should I use as a default...?
I apologise for the RANT, and all i can say is there'll be more to follow...!!!
I arrived at the final hurdle with regards my Graphic Design course, and thought it would be a good idea to seek advice from 'the professionals', as well as using it has a good excuse to introduce myself 2 you all (Registered 2day). I'm hoping your not all a scary lot and can appreciate I'm still learning the magical art of design. I would love to build up a network of friends from this site, is there room for just one more designer in your life? (get intouch)
As you can imagine, if you can remember being a student!! It is not all good, when it comes down to feedback from tutors etc. I mean I've received around 20mins one to one time in the last two weeks. Not good when it comes down to producing your best work from your time at University. I have written a plan of what I would like to achieve for this project and would like to make good use of the time I have, Can anyone out there give me any advice on time management. The deadline is 13th May (I can Hear you laughing).
My plan is attached!!
I'm interested in how you break down the smaller projects into you daily tasks. I just wanna work productively and improve on what I've already done before
