		<description>It’s really hard for students to line up quality freelance gigs without deep experience / contacts, which makes it especially important for them to leverage as many tools as possible to get at least their personal work seen by people who might be potential clients.

One thing I’m trying to work on is a way to incorporate very personalized video that can be embedded onto new freelancers’ personal websites, shared on Facebook / Twitter, e-mailed to friends and potential clients, etc — a way to promote a freelancer’s portfolio and personal brand through documentary-style video.

If that is something that anyone here might find useful, why don’t you check it out at: http://seemehearme.motionthink.com and let us know what you think? :)</description>

		<description>Working with a student is seriously the best thing ever. I  tried 99 Designs once, and all I got was crap. All the &quot;designers&quot; just seem to be making a quick buck. 

The next time around, I tried posting on www.orangeslyce.com to get my logo designed since its just for student designers. Within a few days, I had half a dozen students apply to design my logo. Since its only college students, the cost is low like 99 Designs/CrowdSpring but the quality is much better. I was able to work with one girl for over a week with several iterations (she was quite patient with me).

I&#039;m all for supporting students starting their careers, and since they are looking to build their portfolios, they&#039;ll bend over backwards for your design.</description>

		<description>Thanks for taking the time to write this article! I found it very helpful. I am a design student, and I have been doing some pro bono jobs for my church as well as for the small business that my dad works at. I&#039;ve been exploring different ways to start working more, and I found your tips to be extremely helpful. My biggest problem is compiling a portfolio, but thanks to my high-school art teacher, I&#039;ve been tackling that problem. Thanks again!</description>

		<description>You are a true life saver. I just got the first so called design-jobs. These sites are going to save me. I just got some logos to design to my friend&#039;s friend&#039;s bands and some CD-covers to do. This really made my life easier, I probably would not have found those tutorial sites or forums. 

For now I work for free, just to gain experience, I&#039;m only 16, so people almost expect that I can&#039;t do a thing. But after I have build on my online portfolio sites, I will start to ask some money. Now I don&#039;t have anything good enough to show, so I won&#039;t charge. I&#039;m only exited to get something else than just own things to do.

Once more.
Thank you.</description>

		<description>Again, thanks for the article Jacob.

@Ian
A cheaper alternative to the regular version of Photoshop is Photoshop Elements. Or like Jacob said, student editions might be a way to go. I got my CS3 Design Premium through school for less than $200.</description>

You may be interested to know Adobe have student editions which are a lot cheaper, although you can&#039;t use them for profit.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s a bit of a hard press for me to get started. I&#039;m only 16, so I&#039;m limited on money to buy stuff like Photoshop (seems immoral to pirate it) so I&#039;m stuck using open source stuff on Linux.

Dunno how it&#039;s gonna work out, but hopefully it should make some interesting results.</description>

		<description>I would start by learning the basics, a good book would do for starters. I would recommend Robin Williams &#039;The Non Designers Design Book&#039;. I would also do tutorials online and practice, read &amp; practice! All the best.</description>

		<description>I started experimenting on the web about 7 years ago, I was 12 years old at that time (if hard to imagine, it was the age of Dreamweaver 4) and I have been self-teaching ever since, buying books from Amazon every once in a while. 

I certainly agree to the fact that meeting with a client face to face, or even worse, getting hold of a phone number and being able to make the catch is very hard at first. 

I also agree that reference is the best way to get hold of new work as a freelancer, since you as a service are somehow credited with trust because of the client who referred you. I think that the best way to make sure someone will refer you is to provide excellent customer service. And that starts with fast availability = fast reply to e-mails, verbose and frequent updates on your work etc.</description>

		<description>Aeotoric,
Great that you got experience at such a young age. You really should consider setting up a 50% deposit before you start working as that works as a safety net and lets you know that they are committed. Good luck!</description>

		<description>I started &quot;freelancing&quot; my senior year of high school, though I had been making web toons since my sophomore year and designing local show flyers since my junior year. I made my target market &quot;bands with myspace accounts&quot; and started advertising with a nifty poster I made that had a link to my design &quot;website&quot; (Myspace.com/AetoricDesign). I charged something like $30 for a shirt design and $10 for a banner. This gave me a lot of experience and taught me how to deal with bands. I got screwed in the pooch a few times, of course, and the request for free design was kind of disturbing. This all gave me a sense for the market, in a weird way. It&#039;s funny to think that bands full of 16 year olds treat graphic designers the way so called &quot;professional business people&quot; do.

I still do Aetoric Design (of course) and now it has matured a lot. I try to work out contracts with clients now and try not to do any heavy work for free (though I will toss younger starting bands a web banner every now and then).

I really agree with the whole &quot;do not just be a static learner at University&quot; statement. Going to a community college (my family is far too poor to afford to send me to anything prestigious), I see way to many people doing the minimum and not really grasping the concepts. A lot of kids go in to college with what I like to call the &quot;Pepsi Logo Mentality.&quot; They think, &quot;It&#039;s so simple! Any idiot can do that!&quot; without realize the time and effort that actually goes into a logo (you probably feel this more than most).

Anyways, great article! Would love to get a response! *geeks out*</description>

		<description>Hi,
I actually don&#039;t have a list of where to avoid looking because everyone has different needs... ie. some people work for $5 for a logo. 

I actually don&#039;t look for work at all personally, it comes through the blog which is handy my case however not for everyone, that is why I compiled this post. Good luck Jordan.</description>

		<description>Great list.
Do you have a list of where to avoid looking for freelance design jobs?  I scour CraigsList often but the % of replies I get is incredibly low, especially since my initial reply is more often than not a link to website (which I think is reply worthy), and an simple request for additional information regarding their project.
Where do you avoid looking for work?</description>
