Re: Professional inquiry for you freelancers

Wow, I fire off an e-mail before I hit the sack and wake up with several great feedback! No worries on the quality of humbleness, Daniel. ;-) Overall, I do enjoy design. Heck, I wish I had more of a creative mind and the logical programming mind at times. I just want to make sure I'm not cutting myself short in the long run by limiting my coding capabilities because of time I'm investing hours on end into a copy of Photoshop that my company has picked up for me. I really do appreciate the feedback. I'm going to run with it and see how it goes.
