• Build Relationships
• Its not handed to you on a plate
• You must approach professionals
• Be Flexible
• Be humble and approachable
• Don't be afraid to ask
• Rejection Happens
• Stay true to yourself and change if you are nit happy within a job
• Copywriters are great to represent your concept in words rather than visuals
• Charge a reasonable rate to build relationships
• Make approaches to studios personal and not just "I found your studio on the internet"
• Every creative director has an ego
• Put more effort into getting in touch with a design studio, send mail etc...
• Don't settle with the first studio, Look around thoroughly
• Working freelance is good money however, you can build lots of relationships with a range of clients and professionals through this process
• Speaking to printers is such a huge thing
• Always email back a studio after a rejection to thank them
