I put out the normal bandit signs and have received some leads but I've have the best response with driving for dollars...its also helps that my city has about 1800 vacant properties so a bulk of my time goes to yellow letters.  

I am a Graphic Designer here in Indianapolis, and Graphic Design has so far been a good career for me for the past 10 years, but like many during the great recession I was furloughed at my job for several years and made only 80% of my normal income during that time. 4 day work weeks were nice, but my wife and I had a very hard time economically during those couple years, we still managed to save money and meet the bills, we had to put off alot of things that we wanted to do but couldn't really afford.
