Ask HN: Individual freelance design business incorporating?

I am running a freelance graphic design business from my dorm room at art school, basically all through email. It was recently suggested that I incorporate as an LLC to protect myself from any legal issues because I was just asked to sign my first copyright waiver and things are generally beginning to actually pick up for me. (clients and momentum) Any thoughts on incorporating as a single individual? Thoughts on LLC's? Personal experiences with this sort of situation?
