Also self initiated doesn't have to mean made up. Maybe there is a project or business idea that you've always wanted to pursue. If you are serious about it, take steps to make your life less busy or move to a more low cost environment to give yourself more free time.

I don't think it's wrong to at least show the unchosen directions, the ones you presented to the client that were the best design you could do. It's not a bad idea to show the one they chose too, and how they compare, like a case study. This way you show how you are capable of good design, and how you are able to meet a client's needs.
- Thanks mono. Good advice. I'm surprised - you didnt tell me to go fuck myself and jump of a bridge.Raybandana

If you really would like to great exceptional if not great work, you will need to do one of the following and or both:
• Self-Initiated Projects
• Pitch Projects
Great projects will more than likely never fall upon your lap, until you have a track record of creating beautiful work.Self-Initiated Design Projects

What's a "digital designer" exactly?
Large clients play it safe more often and require bigger teams but have bigger budgets.
Unless you're well known for a cool style, most clients aren't going to come to you for your "unique vision".
- also need a track record for breaking the rule while making bank. u needs to be like banskyyurimon
