Is the Freelance Life Really Profitable? (and more!)

In this week's question time I talk about my favourite Adobe design software, whether working as a freelancer is really profitable and how long it generally takes to work through a web design project.

This week's questions:
- What is your favourite adobe software that you use all the time? - Faz

- How long does it take you and your client to work out a web design project? - Tom de Wit

- Chris, how is the 'freelance-life' for you? I can imagine it's lovely, but is it really profitable? Isn't it more wise to do a job for a design agency, do blogging on the side? - Tom de Wit
