Autumn – 2010

Design is Thinking

It’s been a while since I set up this blog and created my first post here. I was planning to start this off with a post about starting your journey on becoming a Graphic Designer, but after reviewing what I had started I felt it came off a bit too preachy to start off with, and I wanted to get some more input from some of my friends that moved into different specialized areas of design for comparison. I also want to wait for the 2010 National Salary Survey to come back.

So, then what is this lovely little post going to be about then? Well I’m glad you asked. 2010 is far from over but it has been quite the whirlwind of a year. In my mind it was just yesterday I took the risk moving south in a job transfer to only be laid off a few months later. That was 2009, and a lot has certainly happened since then. If anything,it shows that you should take everything that happens as an opportunity, sure I was scared, but I’m better off now then I would have been if I hadn’t been laid off then.

Anyways, onto more important things. It’s October! This puts a damper into getting much work done on the blog, as holidays will be starting soon, and once fall hits the woman in me needs to bake. Work also has me incredibly busy right now as well, so my free time has become even more limited. The projects that are on the top of my file right now are business cards, and some minor personal print projects.

The big thing coming up soon is: November 11th & 12th – Design Thinkers

I’m still in negotiations on the how, but my boss and I are working out me taking the time to go without using up my Christmas Vacation Time!

It was hit or miss before, but when I got the snail mail with information and the last call email for early bird pricing I caved. I will be attending, and I’ll be going to both lunches at Baton Rouge. I’ll be sure to come back with lots of interesting tidbits, and news.

Well that’s that, a very casual “What’s Up” Post. Enjoy your fall, now go out and enjoy the crisp weather and some hot apple cider! That’s what I plan to do.
