I'm quite fortunate to be working along side two professional Graphics Designers who both have a lot of experience working for both Design Agencies and in freelance.
Their names are Cyrus Hulme and Dean McFarlane and they both have a manageable client bases out of work. I have already learnt so much from these two and I do believe that I have surprised them myself with some of my work. They have taught me so many things from basic packaging layout, to being accurate with type. They have almost had to pull me back sometimes, telling me to go with a much simpler approach, which is something I have found difficult in the past. I know that I can still learn so much from these two and when I start to work in freelance myself intend to keep on listening to their advice and ask questions when needed.
As well as these two, I do believe that I will meet new people that will help me along with my journey and hopefully I can do the same for them. Emma Metcalfe maybe another person that may be able to help me with the illustration side of my work and who knows, I may bump into (Gregg Staples who is an illustrator who has made it big) in my next visit to Sainsbury's.
I suppose the most important thing is to isolate myself from other designers, I need to talk to them and embrace their advice as it will no doubt benefit me in the long run.
