Hi from Darwin, Australia. Rookie designer starting up market stall.

HI there,

After finishing studies in design and working for while in a newspaper I came to the realisation that most design jobs have very little to do with creativity and more about being a small cog in a big machine. In order to satisfy my creative need, and possibly subconscious masochistic tendencies, I'm in the process of putting together a bunch of designs with a view to starting a small T-shirt stall at a couple of the local markets here in Darwin.
I don't spend a lot of time online as I'm usually more keen to open up Illustrator and get cracking, but I've joined this form to hopefully pick up some tips and learn from those of greater experience.
Cheers!
Adam
