Craig David

My future flashed in front of me when Dave and Craig filled my head with ideas. Not realising what laid ahead my ears were pined back, my eyes were open and I was taking notes. The morning was intresting I learnt a lot especialy when Dave was talking about freelancing and I didn't actualy realise how much hard work had to be put in to run your own freelancing business.

I actualy found it quite scary that he didn't succeed the first time he tried to set his own business up but I admire the fact that he learnt from his mistakes and tried again this time succeeding. This has made me think a lot more about going freelancing myself once I have learnt he right skills at college. I was quite surprised at the fast pace that they work at the studio producing Logo's in under two hours but personaly I would have thought it would have taken at least day to produce a good piece of work.This has shown me that I need to quicken my pace when doing my own pieces of design but I am sure that this will come over time.

It was quite interesting to know that they actualy used there own image bank which they pay for to produce the images for the design work. The fact that they had a pricing structure in a brochure that they had designed themselves for customers to view I thought was an excellent idea as I feel this is also a sneaky way to pull the customers in. It was clever to draw more clients in that were previously paying high prices while using other design companies who are now looking for cheaper alternatives due to the credit crunch. I thought it was good that they had seen this nieche in the market and were taking full advantage of it. Due to this they are now making a profitable turnover after two years of hard graft and the company now appears to have quite a good future ahead of it.
