Taking a break from symbol making. I think I liked my symbols more when they were less symbol like. Oh well.
I really like my new job so far, of course things are always good at the begining and I haven’t really done a whole lot yet. But it’s looking promising, especially because the last couple of days that I’ve been there I was sad to leave at 5 cause I was still having fun making stuff and I wanted to keep working. I’m really excited cause it seems like only good things can come from the experience I’ll have from this place after I graduate. I’d really like to be able to stay in Seattle at a good firm or something cause the idea of leaving everything and everyone already here makes me sad, more so than when leaving St. Louis. Of course that’s over a year away, so I shouldn’t worry about it yet.
Friday was one of the student events put on by the AIGA where they had various local designers come and talk about what they look for, interviewing and portfolio and all that good stuff. It was pretty interesting hearing what they had to say about it all. It was also nice to hear people other than my profs talk about being “curious” about a lot of things.For the longest time I just considered it being fickle, and figured it was something I was suppose to get over as I got older.
But it turns out my insatiable desire to know a little about everything (aka “mastering” everything) can be put to good use, which is good news for me. I don’t know why this revelation is so exciting for me, maybe cause people have always told me “people who are a jack of all trades are a master of none.”
