📓 Background
Every Friday at art school, I would quickly dash the three minutes from my apartment to attend professional practice lectures. During my third year, I compiled a professional practice folder filled with essential advice for entering the illustration field. This folder has since been neatly stored in a box for many years.
I have gathered a lot of information over the years and kept it in a plethora of places. Last year, I discovered Freeform. It has been a game changer for gathering and rearranging information in one place. And I’ve made A LOT of Freeform boards.
This week, I had a lightbulb moment and thought... I should share these.
