What is the best way to get freelance graphic design work in London?

Question

I'm a graduate of Camberwell College of Arts.

I've been working for a few years and want to go freelance. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Sign on with one of the employment agencies in London that specialise in placing freelancers (use Google Maps with the search string "employment agencies for designers, London"). There are a LOT.

Answer 2

You can find some good advice on going freelance for the first time here: http://www.freelanceuk.com/ms_design/ind...

Sign up in the ads section there, and also at websites like these:

http://www.ifreelance.com/

http://www.getafreelancer.com/

(There are a lot more sites like this - search Google for "freelance ads" or something similar). You're in a field where it's possible to find work from all over the world, which gives you an advantage over freelancers in the pre-internet era - I suggest that you make good use of an internet presence to promote yourself. :)

Good luck!
