Does anyone have any idea where a graphic designer could get work. Like more then just a logo here and there. Something you do all day or for hours at a time.

I've looked everywhere and it looks like if you arn't connected to the right people, you don't get work.

      Try looking through the Help Wanted classified section of your newspaper.

    Most of what you will find online will be freelance - but I would suggest putting together a portfolio with a winning cover letter, then emailing it to every design firm you see online.

    I would say check Craigslist, If you know how to code html that's going to return a lot more jobs.

    Example: houston all jobs classifieds "graphic designer" - craigslist

    What's your location?

      What else have you herd?
      There's probably like 4 qualities of a GOOD graphic designer.

      1. Basic understanding/library, etc.... MOST are at THIS level!(Comes with a little desire)
      2. Better understanding/tecnique, etc... I'm probably like 1/3rd at this level. Most are worse!(comes with exposure/desire)
      3. Understanding of some problems that can come up, etc... I could certainly do better. Even FEWER are at ths level.(Comes with desire/experience)
      4. TALENT. VERY few are likely here. (Comes with ability/zeal) I would LOVE to be here, but kind of gave up on that.

      Basically a school gets you to #2, and maybe helps with the ability to be at #3 or 4.

    Create your own web site for that. DesignCrowd.COM also helpful for you. Why don't you try fiverr?
