I just wanted to quickly explain to you how to get the work you are looking for. I have found the best way to get projects and jobs from people is to annoy them. When I say annoy them I mean have details about your work in your signatures, links to portfolio and if anyone asks about anything related to design give them your opinion and offer your services. I have been doing that for the past month and I have had over 10 jobs (large ones). This is the best way to get experience and to get your name out there. Those people will take your name and tell people about you. Networking always works.
