[QUOTE="Pacer, post: 1105601, member: 170912"] [b]L40. boghtoff[/b] LOL, that helps in a lot of fields. I am also a real estate agent, the ability to keep my lip zipped as a freelancer helps me tremendously. :) But seriously, to the OP, I have been a freelance designer for over 20 years. My background is in typography, and I think that is the most important thing to learn. Anyone can "use" any computer program, but making the ad, flyer, menu, chart, etc, look good is an art. In my real estate office there are a few people who think they are good at using Photoshop or Publisher or some such and think they are producing great promotional materials, but they have no eye for typography. Learn typography. And good luck! [/QUOTE]
