How I work
As I grow, both creatively and as a business person I’ve been wondering where my success comes from. What is making clients choose me over another designers or other companies? Is it the price, is it the talent, or is it word of mouth and referral.
Settling into my new job Wow I can't believe the last post I did was in July! Coming back from my Hong Kong holiday in May seemed so long ago and Christmas is in less than 3 weeks! I thought about what to write today, and I thought the biggest change so far is going into my new job as a web designer.
Updated Links to websites I've accomplished
To those who are interested in my website progression in the last couple of months at Istyle I’ve included these selected websites I’ve designed. I’ve developed the majority of them in standards compliant XHTML and CSS code.
And we're back... Fresher than ever! Back with a splash! Don't you just love marketing? Yeah, us too. So, back on point - here we are. We decided to have a bit of a spruce up and this is what we came up with. We like clean, usable websites that look exquisite, dazzling, foxy, graceful - attractive is probably the adjective we're looking for - and we believe that this place is an example of that philosophy.
Salaries on the decline for Junior graphic designers In the three years of my creative profession, I have been many things working for three bosses: I was initially employed by a travel publisher as online services administrator then promoted to a chief graphic designer. I left after a year and freelanced, working for myself where I acted as accounts manager and web designer, then employed under an Australasian publishing division working as an advertising artist.
Far too long A few months back I had been observing design agencies and their offers of employment (after succeeding to make it to the interview rounds!), but was unsatisfied with each one.
I feel like I owe my website... ... a very decent update. So just to scream ‘WELCOME BACK' to my (much treasured) viewers, I'm back, like, a month ago so I must apologise for the slackness. To cover for my tardiness, it took legitimately two weeks of re-establishing the usual DSE routine - Design, Sleep and Eat.
Two, I said two months gone TIME = MONEY. I am a business, and that time is valuable to me- thank you very much.
Back to work In these past few days I have been so technically fixated I haven’t accomplished any creative tasks for SevenZest. I’m writing much more than I did in tertiary, and I love it.
Two days to Resignation Eve There are books that urge me to establish an adequate clientele for future business survival before resigning my current job. But my Taurus patience has worn thin
My fear of the foreign is alleviated My replacement started today. Obviously with much more work experience than I have she won’t be as temperamental as I get towards the junior designer
First Sevenzest client! It must be destiny, as I found my first client! Well actually he found me.
The big day I was so nervous, was I ready to leave? Did I care still have feelings for my job? I convinced her in our later private discussion that my real motives for leaving
I’ve had enough This week I’ve been a confused with my job my position seems more burdensome than challenging, and I’m designing without the same enthusiasm.
