One thing that worked in the past.. Look for a full time job posting. Cold call / email and ask them for a freelance work.

Also look for smaller agencies.
Say that you like their work and would love to do some freelance work etc etc.

Very nice print design Elysse.
Getting interactive freelance work is very easy, I am not sure about print design? I would put together a really nicer brochure or mailer and mail it to every design firm and then follow up with an email.
