Before coming to the heavy production environment I'm in now, I used to do photo manipulation and design at a high end sheetfed shop and I loved it, it just didn't pay as well. I still do freelance at home and it's fun.

I have worked with some of the top design firms in my area and one thing they have taught me is to only give the client so much room for input because clients will screw up a good design every time. "I want the logo to fill half the page etc..." I like to stick to my guns when it comes to design and have come to the point of losing a brochure job because I didn't want to do what the client wanted. It ended up coming through my shop in the end and it looked hideous! LOL

I didn't get the money for design but it was worth it to not produce something like that.

People don't know how to make something look good, that's why they come to us.
