Do you want to work full time for a company or freelance?

Hi Toon, I,m thinking of going freelance. then again if a good job oppertunity was to come up, I'd probably take it.

* Get a portfolio together, and create a website and a logo for your business.
* I would suggest looking up marketing companies on the internet. They can help you make the most of your website, and give tips on how to market your business.
* Vista Print is an online printing company, they are cheep, I ordered my business cards from them.
* Word of mouth is a very useful marketing tip. Give out business cards to family and friends. You never know when they might need some design done.

Good luck!
