Yay!
I have come up with some projects to work on. Alas (which is a word I’ve been using a lot recently … weird) they do not pay.
The first is the aforementioned Brock Press design style guide. I have already written a staff writers guide for them, so I figured since I ain’t got nothin’ better to do, I’d whip up something to help them with graphic design and layout. They need a wee bit of help keeping them in line with what has been done in the past. As much as there are some talented visual people working there right now, they don’t seem to know how newspaper design works as well as they should. Which is fine, since, as I’ve all ready stated that newspaper design is much more complicated and daunting than it needs to be.
My second project is to get my boyfriend a job.
I’ve always stared lovingly at all those creative self-promotional projects in Print magazine. I figure, at this point, it’s not gonna hurt if we throw something a little more creative than a resume together, even if it is me and not him who’s looking for a graphic design job.
It will be creatively done, but I’m looking at it as an ad campaign to get him hired. After working in student media, I’ve seen the kinda crazy stuff movie studio’s and record companies and festivals and the like send out to get people to pay attention to them. Why shouldn’t an english major looking for a job?
Also : ooops. It’s not Google. But I don’t think it matters at this point.
