April 9, 2002 Finally the brochures came and all the stickers. Now the chore of sending them out. I just want to design, I find this self promotion very difficult. I also got my web site up but all of the work I have done belongs to the clients or the companies I did work for. I only had a few pieces to post on my portfolio. I am contacting past design accounts to get permissions. Like everything else it takes a while. I created several concepts for display companies. Now we wait to see what direction they will go. There has been some peice work here and there and some project bids. I am looking for the full design project. I think bidding work is very difficult. I love the design process. As soon as I hear about a design chalenge my imagination and mind starts working. If we don't get the bid it's hard to let go in my mind. I keep working it over and over. When I see a material or a object that could apply, I get really excited then, Oh yea, I'm not working on that. But it could also apply to this! I just love problem solving! The Western Distric Conference was last weekend for IDSA. There was a great showing of students and professionals. The speakers were great. The student work and portfolios become more impressive each year. A while back 3-D modeling was rare now almost all the students had examples. I was able to meet some great designers. Networking is an important part of design work. It is really inspirational to be around other talented people. |
