Thank you all for the advice I've received so far, I only posted this a few hours ago! All comments have been very helpful and I agree I should take on/source projects and learn in the process.

I am also considering going into Search Engine optimization jobs where there is on-the-job training provided, that way I plan on getting practical knowledge in that area and then moving towards the more design aspect.

Anyway Cheers people! And if theres anymore advice anyone else can find the time to give to me it would be much appreciated!
