I've even heard of fonts being described as high contrast because of the varied line widths. "Don’t underestimate the value of luck, by the way, when it comes to breaking in as a freelancer." Or friends? I've always enjoyed the jobs that I got through friends more than ones that I've applied for out of the blue. Good point about contrast.

I think it was on your blog. That luck you're talking about entails getting your information and person in front of as many people as possible. It can be a lot of hard work, and sometimes it's easier for some than others. <strong>Doug</strong>, I think photography would help me in design composition, too. I would like to take a class on it. I love seeing those shots that are not of anything all that exciting (like a window in a brick building), but are composed so perfectly that you just can't tear your eyes away! Steve,
