Very cool, I actually did something similar when I was first starting out. I called a decent size local web design firm and asked someone on the design team if they’d be willing to sit down with me and go over my portfolio (I was 16 at the time). I still keep in touch with him today

Thank you for the advice. I am a young designer too, and I shall keep that in mind.

There is 1 more thing, in your portfolio, when I click on a design the picture is still in the same size… Is that only on my computer or … ? Or it can’t get bigger than that?

You’re very welcome, buddy.

“Subscribe to comments” is the first plugin I install. A definite plus for commentators.

As for the wedding planning, the two of us had a look around Belfast Castle, which is cool, but we’re not sure if we want the stress of a “home-town” wedding, what with everyone we’d need to invite, so we’re thinking of combining it with the honeymoon, perhaps in the Bahamas.

Thanks for your comments!

I was going to put a design or two that he sent, but I’m not sure if this is ok if I haven’t got his permission. I might email him back and see what he says.

I would be interested in letting you see them, there are two that are nice pieces of digital art/mixed media that shows he has got some natural design talent.

I honestly can’t remember if I had “subscribe to comments” on here at any stage. Since creating this site, I have learned so much about WP, so I am eager to re-do it (for the 3rd time). I want to improve on a lot of things on here, hopefully get working on it soon!

Week is going very well David, thank mate. How’s the planning coming along?!

Can we see his designs?

Maybe I send you my works once, too….

Hey Brian,

It’s good to see you also take time to respond to enquiries, no matter the age etc. Like Kris, I thought we’d maybe see the designs (I keep a store of draft logos people send, and keep meaning to share them with my feedback). When time allows, I’ll be sure to.

A little off-topic, did you uninstall the “subscribe to comments” plugin? I don’t see the check-box anywhere, and think I remember you having it.

Hope the week’s going well mate.

Presumably you said something specific about the designs as well? At the star of the post I thought we were going to get to ooh and ahh them

It is very kind of you to take time to help out an aspiring graphic designer. Your advice must have given some good feedback to the artist. ilike2flash's last blog post..Dynamic mask in Actionscript 3

Great post. Even greater hearing you helping and encouraging younger aspiring graphic artists. Considering the tools we have available now a days, there will definitely be a burst of amazing graphic design in the next few years as younger professionals move into the work force.

Great post.
