Freelance graphic design is often a desirable means of employment because of schedule flexibility, the opportunity to “own your work” and the possibility of higher income. But freelance graphic design isn’t something I suggest jumping into without careful consideration.
If you do decide to give freelancing a go, here’s an inside look at my own path, plus tips about a few things I’ve learned along the way…

“Last year we stumbled across old magazines from the 50s & 60s in a dusty attic. We use the original magazines to create the badges, that’s why every button is unique.”

Loysel’s Toy
These places offer produce that are the freshest, possibly the most ecologically-friendly, direct from the local farmers and everything hand-prepared, hand-crafted. Nothing too fancy. Down to earth. Honest. Authentic. That ties in nicely with the ideals & philosophy of Loysel’s Toy which have led us to coin the well-deserved tag for them – THE COFFEE CRAFTERS.
“I have never met a designer who was retained to keep things the same as they were.” Before we decide what we do and how we do it, we like to begin by asking the question “Why?” In Why Design, a new film series, Herman Miller explores the world through the eyes of their designers, and shares something of why we value their point of view.
Each Monday morning, from September 10th through October 29th, Herman Miller will launch a new designer profile at Why Design.
The series includes:

9.17.12 - Don Chadwick - “The Camera Becomes an Extension of Your Eyes”
9.24.12 - Ayse Birsel - “Your Life Is Your Most Important Project”
10.1.12 - Irving Harper - “Paper Is a Versatile Medium”
10.8.12 - Gianfranco Zaccai - “Great Food Should Be Like Great Design”
10.15.12 - Studio 7.5 - “Design by Its Nature Is Collaborative”
10.22.12 - Steve Frykholm - “It’s the Breaks That Allow My Mind to Refresh”
10.29.12 - Sam Hecht + Kim Colin - “We Need Contrast and Tension to Be Able to Create”

Sam Tootal
Sam approached Manual to create a distinct bespoke personal identity and website.
Our solution was not to simply create a standalone monogram, but an idiosyncratic typographic system, used so consistently that it also becomes a logo in itself. We developed a decorative monogram featuring his initials alongside the number 73, the year in which Tootal was born. The slightly awkward and odd design is foil stamped in gloss red across a range of stationery items.
