Computer Art's - The Freelance Handbook

I bought the second in the series of Computer Arts handbook magazines today.

I thought as I had one I might as well collect the others, I also thought that this would come in very handy for not only college but a lot outside. If I were to ever do freelance work.

The book explains the best ways to get freelance work and how to handle it, along with finances and skill sets, how to better yourself and what you need to get the most out of being a freelance designer.

Freelance Work For The NHS.

Recently I got the chance to work for the NHS as part of a new scheme they were setting into motion.

Treat Us Right.

I wasn't told much about the project other than they needed a logo, and that I had free reign to do what I wanted, as long as the logo had something to do with taking off, being free, or equality.

I didn't get paid for this job, but I thought it would be great work for my portfolio and I received a letter of recommendation along with some name badges, pencils and other stationary items that the logo was printed on.

This is my process to the final two logos I designed for them.

Computer Arts - The Design Student Handbook

I found this while I was looking for magazines in WH Smiths the other week and just had to buy, I thought it would be a great investment as It does what it say's right on the packet.

Its a Handbook for students and a Student I am.

Inside it tells you what you need to do to get the most out of your course and it shows you how to be the best and get the best grades on your project.

What tools you need and how to use them, it even helps you with your portfolio work and what steps to take after you finish your course, including Internships, Placements and Interviews.

I find it very useful and its helped me a lot in this past project.
