Artistic Ramblings.

Hello again to the few people who follow me. With my seasonal era at target over with, it’s time to find another job. There is a sign shop down here in Exton that I need to check out. But if that doesn’t work, my mom is helping me set up my own design firm.

So I may be asking a few of my PCAD friends to work with me if/when I get some clients. And who knows, this might just be amazing.

So, it’s been awhile. Been scrapping by for the moment. Lucky that my parents aren’t kicking me out of my little apartment on their property. I got a job at Target, but it’s most likely going to end in January.

Had another freelancing opportunity and I’m just waiting for shirts and stuff to be printed before I post it. And I have another job that just appeared in my inbox but I’ve been either busy with work, inconvenienced or just too exhausted to give a crap.

Still no luck in getting an in house job. I keep wondering if I made the right choice. I browse Monster, Craigslist, SnagAJob and any other job hunting website I can find.

Oh well, I’ll just have to build up my job history with retail, freelance and house-sitting until I can find and graphic design job.

Here’s hoping I can find an internship in the summer.

Well, it’s been a few weeks since graduation. The break from school is nice, but i have to start looking for a job sooner or later. I’ve set up my Monster page, updated LinkedIn, still trying to make Behance work right and i have a few pieces to upload to PCA&Ds network for success.

Aside from that, it’s been pretty nice.

If anyone reading this has any leads, people looking for entry level graphic designers, send them my way. Almost anything at this point would be nice.

I would like to stay local for now, get some work experience before I set my sights further.

Just had three reviews at PCA&D and it brought up a thought that has been recurring in my mind every now and then. Did I make the right choice? I enjoy design work, but every time I speak to a professionals I feel that I don’t have the passion or the pop culture knowledge to be a designer. The one fear that I have about all this, not that I’ve made the wrong choice, but that I’ve gone and wasted my parents money on something I’m never going to use.

About less than 2 weeks. This is getting frightening. Projects are due; papers are due, final tests and presentations. And then after I graduate, I have to get a job. HUZZAH GROWING UP!

Hopefully I can find the right job were I don’t feel overworked, were there’s that nice balance of work and play.

Had my mock interview/portfolio review yesterday, went well, lets just hope I get a good grade for it. This weekend is also the AIGA portfolio review, so we’ll see how that goes.

Edit: Just got comments back from the reviewer. I knew i was lacking in “Passion” but it hurts sometimes to hear it from others.

I dunno, maybe it had something to do with the fact that I knew he was an experienced veteran in the design world. It’s easier for me to back up my ideas to classmates and friends, but against someone who has been doing this for their entire life, I feel that they do indeed know better than I do so i just take the critiques as they are.

The school year winds down to the fiery finale *hides the jet fuel* and we are all slowly becoming more bitter as the semester goes on. Tests and projects and papers all seemingly due the same week or day and spending insane amounts of cash that we as art students just do not have.

It’s no wonder why we procrastinate, we put off project A to get project B done because Project A is due next week while Project B is due 5 minutes ago. everything gets done, but there are just so many of them and almost not enough time.

I’ll work on things this Sunday, oh wait! School field trip to see a movie. how about Wednesday next week during my 5 hours break? Mock interview with Go Welsh. How about this Thursday before history class? Getting glass cut at Lowes for Fridays class.

the days i do have off, i don’t do a thing because i need time to wind down and relax. I play my games that i have touched in weeks or, you know, sleep.

If work is like this, then I’m going to lose my marble quickly.
