Oh, I totally agree! I claim to be a graphic designer, and I am...for the web

I was one of those who grabbed a copy of Photoshop and through trial and error has become better and better (my latest creation
http://www.realitynetworks.com). I am still not earning the big bucks, mostly because I am not working that much after the birth of my baby

But I am getting there. So in a sense I am prof b/c I get paid, but I a far from where I wanna be. It takes practise...and print is something I want to learn, but has not yet had a chance - and yes, because of the cost we don't all go out and print up magazines just to 'try it out'....I will work on a brochure for myself and see where it gets me....
My URL is
http://www.sabramdesign.com but is has not been updated for ages...it will get a total makeover when I finish my two current contracts....
