I am starting to work on a self promo to help market myself as a freelance designer. I want to build a brochure that can double as a marketing piece to reach clients as well as potential employees/agencies. My concept is "Space To Fill" with a double meaning. 1) As a design lab (one man shop) who is available to help fill up white space (the canvas) with designs such as ads, webpages, and any other work that requires graphic design services. 2) Filling up any open positions as a graphic designer for full time work. The most difficult part so far is comming up with the verbaige to come accross to the two different ideas. Should I use "I" or "We" in something like "I/We are here to help you blah blah blah..."
Any advice, suggestions, samples would help a lot. Thanks.

oh yeah, is this even a good idea? or should the two concepts be completely seperated from each other? I'm trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

hi. i'd stick to 'I' not we, if you come across as a company or an organisation people may assume you are larger than one person and may not think of getting in touch with you if they have a vacancy for a full time designer.

Don't use photographs of yourself chillin' on your couch, jamming on your Gameboy Advance SP, with a couple of bottles of drink on the table.
