I'm a free-lance graphic designer with a design degree and about 20 years experience. I have an office, but no employees. I've done mostly print work; right now, I spend a lot of time in magazine publishing with a smattering of other types of projects. I've had a couple of clients recently cut back on the projects they are sending out, so I need to look for some additional work.
I'm writing this because I'd like to try some other area of art/design, and I'm looking around for some ideas. I'm not really looking for advice per se, I'm just collecting some ideas of some things that maybe I've overlooked. I live in a small Midwestern town, and due to personal circumstances, moving is not an option. I don't want to be limited to just local clients (I'm not right now), and I enjoy working by myself. I learn new things pretty quickly, and I enjoy adding to my skills.
So, any ideas? What do you do for work and what's you're experience with it? What kind of work could an individual freelancer get hired for? I appreciate any and all replies. Thanks.
