Yea Laura, thought i should back you up! arrrr ha ha :chris:
Hardan it is great to see someone so keen and it has been cool seeing your personal progression. I just think that at 13 you should worry less about running a business and getting clients, etc. It mocks our profession frankly. If you are truly keen on being a designer, look beyond the computer software. Any monkey can learn that stuff. Read up on typography; grid systems; make sure you do art + design gcse / or do some life drawing, etc in your spare time / evening classes. All this you can do while you're in your teens - once you're in working life you'll have a lot less free time trust me!
Once you can sketch and have even a basic knowledge of art history, printing process, etc; you will be so far ahead of many design students when you come to study in further education... and far more employable to boot. Sorry for the essay, just some friendly advice dood
