Changing Tides
Topic: Freelance VS Fulltime
In my career so far(since 94-95)having worked for other companies, freelanced for the majority of it from my own company I have had the opportunity to view the changing tides of the Industry of Design. From commercial Design and all it encompases to Graphic Design, Illustration, Desk Top Publishing to no artistic abilities needed.
When I first started out as a student, computers were only really available to work on in my second to last year of study. At the time most employers unless they were a Design Studio didn't have thier own Graphic Design or Marketing Divisions on staff. However today this is more and more the common trend.
So what becomes of the "freelancers"?
Do we go the way of the dinosaures?
There's still a niche for us out there....you just have to know where to look...not advisable for the faint of heart or hungry.
