I am working freelance as much as possible, so please send me a request and I will get back with a reply as soon as possible. I tend to be quiet with social media, but I do read each comment and appreciate each favorite. Suggestions are also greatly appreciated.

Prices will vary on request, but I am reasonable with the fee. I will begin working on commissions when payment is sent to PayPal. I do have a full time job outside of freelance, so all work will be finished when possible.

Humans define their limits and choices from their points of view, and yet when someone else decides that is not sufficient for their own, it creates issues. Design has become a major industry of the world, yet so many people chose to create their own work at home in their convenience rather than pay someone.

For those who have no real understanding of the design world than what is just their in front of them, small rates are acceptable. After all, isn't the world as big as you think it is? Picture it small and you see small and insignificant life around you as more important. Yet take time to search it as a bigger world, and you find new information unseen before, but take time to also step on those who are still climbing up.

It is a fact of life that people need money. Designs and the industry as a whole is expensive to create and maintain. However, should no one expect anyone internationally to not take a job they feel that they are qualified for even if it pays low? Since when did the design world become hypocrites of enjoying what they do, not just making a living. Business cost can be high no matter who or where you are. Does this make anything you do less because you got paid less?

The man who started this conversation gave up on his fight because he wasn't really ready for an argument other than who lives with their parents or hasn't taken on the responsibility of owning a business. To define the lives of a massive community that is international is at a kindergarten level. As he only wanted to make a single message clear, he did not see the full situation of his actions towards those who are beginning in the field with nothing, but a printer as a gift, small handmade sketchbooks, and a few tools. As most people I have read here are doing, he steps on those who believe in what they can do to make himself feel more important because he has to pay another bill that some don't have.

Does this make this right in each viewpoint that designers should or shouldn't take up small jobs? No, because sometimes anyone, even some successful person who took ten years to get where he is today, might have to take on a job for a cheap rate just to get by.

Is it not more to create and believe in what you do than to be paid for the full extent of what you define yourself as? I believe that this industry is not just defined by lines of abilities that define how much each person is worth, yet instead the only real area that someone can grow outward as much as their imagination can perceive. When did most of the graphics industry give up on that thought, or is is because of the fight was given up since you all began?

In all the years I have been with DA and the few accounts I managed, never once did I ever get over 1000 page views. My work is proving to be an improvement beyond my old designs drastically, and I finally am feeling some sort of appreciation for my art. 

Thanks to all who look upon my work as I try to move forward in life as a designer and artist. 

Art has always been apart of my life, from small paintings to pencil art. When I finished high school, I didn’t have any plans for the future, until three years later. When I first decided to go to college, I was on campus, learning more than I thought I could really know, about different medias and even digital painting and designing. This learning process thought me that art wasn’t just for myself, but for communicating a meaning to everyone, to have them feel something in order to understand the message. Moving online has taught me how to be more professional when I can't meet face to face, as well a time management everyday. As an artist who has millions of thoughts at one time, I make sure to map each day to understand the tasks that need to be done.

Websites are a defining aspect of the designing world today, and those who don't understand how to build or even work with one might fall behind. This allows beginning designers time to develop new skills with interactive media by learning from the mistake of those who built the structures of the internet first. Many companies I have spoken to require understanding with web design before even a thought of hiring has occurred. Ensure though that the style of the digital and the printed are the same, even with the type of portfolio itself. Combining the various aspects between them might never be understood unless the client is able to see both, but this will also provide practice in the end to incorporate design work with practical use. Practice is always needed, even for those who have been in the field for many years.
