    Hi. I'm just wondering the best way to advertise my services as a graphic designer and web designer. I'm just looking for some freelance work at the moment as I am still in college.

    What do you use to get yourself known.

    Place ads on boards.ie, place ads on creativeirl.com and maybe freelanceireland.com. You can also get good work through friends of friends, and if you know any design companies, ask them if they need some freelance work done from time to time. Ive gotten quite a bit of work from this.

    Make sure you have a website with some work on it to show people, or have a pdf you can email with a few examples of work in it. Some people like to meet in person, so throw a few bits of work youve done from college/small projects into a neat folder (if you dont have a portfolio yet it wont matter, just something that holds the work neatly and make sure its all mounted nicely, etc.)

    Hope that helps,
    sarah
