Members corter Posted April 9, 2008 Members Report Posted April 9, 2008 So, I love leatherwork and all and it's paying the bills, but I feel like my mom would be pissed watching me sew away my design degree. As I have about 2.5 semesters left, I'd like to start getting some independent jobs going and not just have student work in my portfolio. heres where yall come in i'd like to do some identity projects. This means logos, letterheads, buisness cards, banners, packaging if you need it, brands, etc... maybe even website redesigns this summer if i get my web skills up to par (working on my site now, i'm more of a print add and logo person so i don't know as much as I should). I'd like to do as many as I can, I figure I can take 2-3 a month maybe if theres a lot of people that would like to give it a go (hell, even if you don' use it i'd love to do it as a portfolio piece). If you just need a logo, or just a buisness card design, that's cool too, I just want to design more. The way it will work is I'll design everything like a professional, not just blindly give you a random identity but listen to what you want and send you sketches, let you pick what you'd like, etc. then when everything's done, i'll send you all the files and you can get them printed at a printer and use them! Now I know what you're thinking, what's the price? The answer: $0 I want to design more, so I'm not going to take any money from anyone. If you'd like to send a trinket or a nice little tooled scrap for me to use in one of my wallets, I would love that, however this is about practice and getting myself the confidence to go out and interview for jobs when I graduate. plus, i've met so many nice people and learned so much, its all I can do to give back. so who first?!

Thank you!Johanna absolutely guys, it seems theres going to be a bunch of people (which is awesome, the more the better and more practce) so what i'll do is write down a list and work my way down it. i could even post progress, sketches, etc. here and everyone could help make some decisions if whoever was getting designed at the time was ok with it!

faceOdd Posted April 9, 2008 Report Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Corter, I've been struggling through figuring out the marketing side of things, and I'm doing ok for the most part, considering. What I really need is a web banner for a convention I'm doing in August. It's more on the web design side than print design, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it - do you? Is this something you'd consider adding to your list? Your mother will be very proud of you. This is a great way to enhance your marketing skills, while also helping people and working within your personal interests. I started out in much this same way, and some of the people I made free things for are now my good friends and returning customers. And, their needs forced my skills into directions I most likely would not have gone on my own. ~Tammy Edited April 9, 2008 by TCLeathercraft Quote faceOdd wearable art masks www.faceoddmasks.com
