    +seAnceTM You can. Here's a fun fact: I read a line of text from a book by Michael somethingorother which said that they did a study and the only difference between creative people and non-creative people is that creative people referred to themselves as creative. Think about that ;)

    One thing that would help is to have audio of the questions. I'd guess there are quite a few people like myself who play videos in the background while we work for a little extra inspiration. I keep having to sift back through my open pages to see the questions - still though - really appreciate the upload.

    That is definitely part of the process. Maybe not free...you can always haggle with people for favors or anything else. I have done jobs that were strictly portfolio work while simultaneously helping a business display an awesome graphic! You can do it man. I hope all is well!

    Absolutely not trying to hate, but not all the designs were aesthetically pleasing. Can anyone help me understand why is that? I mean if the designs are not beautiful then why are they considered champion designs? Waiting for a positive and guiding answer

    sometimes it doesn't have to be beautiful to be a great design for example logos, it's not about what looks good but a logo must be versatile on top of other things :)
