Why use me?

Customer Service

If you don’t know exactly what you want, don’t know the technical jargon or even how to translate a brief of what your company desires. This is where I can rise above the larger design agencies.

Help and Advice

If you have a question, you can call me directly - no touch tone redirection, no receptionists, no programmers that don’t know the full details, just one person. This is vital if you need things done fast.

Deadlines

Deadlines are a real issue if you must have a job completed by a certain date no questions asked. Sudden changes which require immediate revisions can be made any time day or night, ideal for getting that presentation finished for Monday morning. It's well known that the larger design agencies close for weekends. I'll be a single ring away and will be happy to fix it at midnight.

Price

Sometimes "how much is it" can be more important than "who did it". If you don't want to pay for a series of office cubicles populated by semi-skilled graduates then why not use me? I have the skills, the experience as well as fewer outgoings than any design firm.

Agencies

Design agencies use me for all the reasons listed above.

 

Hot tips

Cropping control in Photoshop 1

When you're cropping an image in Photoshop, it masks the outer edges of the image so you can see what the crop will look like. You can toggle the mask off and on using the forward slash key (/), as well as change its colour in the options bar (these settings are only visible when a crop is active). You can also change the opacity (while the crop is active) to 100% for a solid black background around your image.
