Hi

1- Become a collector:Each time you see a design that inspires you, collect it, bring it home and file it away. Hundreds of brochures, posters and other collateral that collected over the years that is stacked away in folders and boxes that you can quickly access - great source of inspiration when needed.

2- Buy books:Having an extensive book collection is always essential to learning. I try buying a new book at least every 2 weeks that range from inspirational, educational and technical topics.

3- Read design-related blogs:I can't stress enough how much information learned by reading other great designer's blogs. The web in an invaluable resource of information - take advantage of it and actually use it!

4- Start a design blog: Having started this blog only a couple months ago, I have found it to be extremely useful and educational for myself. It has made me more aware of the design community and more analytical of my own work.

5 - Join and be active in the design community

As a freelance designer, joining the online design community is a must. Not only does it keep you up-to-date in the design world, but is also great for feedback and critique. Being your own boss is great, but not having anyone to answer to as a freelancer also has it's down sides. No one to criticize your work and help you improve.

Keep sharing and reading

Thanks

Hello

Thanks for sharing this informative information. These tips are really very useful. Keep sharing more and more information.

Thanks
Have a nice time ahead.

Useful tips. Thanks for the gr8 tips.

1) Keep Your Portfolio Up to Date: Most designers improve over time and that’s why you need to keep your portfolio fresh with new projects, as long as they are better! Many bloggers and other design sites feature content from portfolios, and they will actually check to see if you have new work on your site. You can also submit your new work to design galleries, which can get your more traffic and potential clients!
2) Take Multiple Photos of Print Work: Taking professional photos of your print work can really give you an edge. Obviously your work appears more realistic when its printed and taking photos of the printed pieces just gives your work that extra special touch. Just make sure the photos are crisp, in focus, have proper lighting and a good background. You should also play around with different view points. Even if you can’t get a sample of the prints from your client you can still do short run prints of your projects yourself. Its worth it!
3) Provide Live Demos of Web Work: Providing live demos of web work can have as big an impact as the tip above. People will feel more confident in your services if they can see your work in action! So if your web designs are live, provide a clear live demo link. If that is not possible code the framework yourself or at least host a screen shot of the site on your server and code in the background images so it mimics the appearance of a live site. To prove my point at why live demos are important, just take a look at any good site that sells html themes or WordPress themes and you will see most of them have live demo links!

Hello to all
Network with other designers
Attending lectures is a great way to meet other designers. I always try to search out the designers that have more experience and talent than I do. I know - it’s hard to admit someone else is better than you, but networking with people of higher skill levels will push you to work harder and learn more.
- Take classes
Many local college allow you to register for classes without enrolling full-time. It will not only teach you some new things technically, but also put you back in a classroom of your peers.
- Interview other designers and studios
A year ago, a friend of mine, started a ‘national studio tour‘ where he toured and interviewed with over 100 different design studios. He said the experience was amazing and learned so much by asking questions that design school could have never answered. He also met a valuable useful contacts
- Travel
Every time I travel to another country, I come back feeling extremely inspired. I usually find myself designing all day for a few weeks straight. Experiencing new cultures and seeing their artwork, opens your mind to a whole new world. Just wish I could travel more!

Thanks
