i've been looking for an ID who is OK with giving me design only. Still thinking about the rest because need to consider the budget. might have to do everything myself.
anyway, after talking to quite a few of them, i realise that there is a certain pattern to it. the 'real' ones with the design ideas tend to dress and look slightly different. ha! the others, who are the 'sales' usually look more.. sales. dunno if u guys notice it. and you can actually tell after talking to them for awhile.
that's my 2cents worth too!
