Hello Simon

It's not skills alone that will get you the job, as odd as that may
sound. Maybe the URL has something to do with charming clients. To be
honest yodajones doesn't quite make the biscuit. Yoda Media sounds
okay. Actually I have a little affinity for Yoda myself only because of
my spiritual nature, zen, buddhism and the like. I've recently started
freelancing and set myself as upstream design. Inspired by Little
Buddha movie when he asks the river whether he will attain enlightenment
in this life. Freelancing is like meditation, a bloody struggle.
Anyway this is my site.

http://www.upstream-design.com

Your opinions are most welcome. Not all the designs in the portfolio
are mine.

So far word of mouth has been in my favor. I am thinking of pinning up
flyers locally ie library, swimming pool, safeway ... anywhere where
free advertising is permitted.

Do you have business cards?

Hope I haven't offended you.

Manjit
