Take Advantage of Holidays as a Freelance Graphic Designer
Whenever there’s a holiday coming up I get a bunch of ideas on how to make that day memorable and it always involves doing something creative for my blog or for the people around me. So I go and ask my colleagues to create a nice wallpaper, a calendar, a photo manipulation or whatever I can think of.
As a graphic designer (freelancer or full time employee), all year round you have various projects, some of them give you a great satisfaction and you are really happy with them, but some you do because you simply have to. Bottom line, you mostly do client based work, you usually have a brief to respect so it leaves you with very little time to experiment, to create “masterpieces” outside of “work” (at least this is what I see with the graphic designers around me)…
