Certain skills that would appeal to or relate to a client group, aimed at where I'd like to be working, would be:

Web Design

Branding and Identity

Packaging

Screen Printing

Publications/editorial

The necessary skills needed for a said client group would differ slightly. Working as part of a large in-house design team at a large corporation such as McDonalds. Generally working for a larger corporation would affect the type of work produced and your part in the process, be it just sizing images or applying content all the way through to concept development and artworking.

Working as part of a smaller team is more appealing to me, I'd like to be able to share ideas and be considered as a valued member and a part of the 'family'. As a part of this team I will required to have an advanced knowledge of the adobe suite, understand and be able to use typography, understand colour theory and have sufficient knowledge in stock and print/finishing. All of these skills need to be further developed and fine tuned to enable fast and creative work.
