Sooo, some of my blog readers out there know about this, and some probably don't. But, I'm slowly trying to make my way into the freelance realm of graphic design. I've picked up a few projects in the last week (ML's rehearsal dinner invites- which I'm going to pick up in a few minutes, by the way, ML!) and have actually got more on my plate than I EVER expected to have, especially to start off. Right now I'm just trying to get experience and projects to put in my virtual portfolio, and therefore am taking on every project there possibly is. I'm doing several invitations, helping out with some branding and graphics for a mission trip at church, and a few other things here and there, but am SO thankful for the opportunities that I've surprisingly had. It's also a nice way to break up the monotony at work. It gives me something fun and exciting to channel my energy towards when I'm often doing mindless computer work and the outcome is potentially something that will be a more creative long-term solution for me. Yay!
But, I've been waiting to blog about this until I was fully ready to share, so, if you need anything- invitations, stationery, announcements, cards, resume help, annnything- just give me a shout! :)
(If you notice, there is a web address for my new design endeavor... buuut it isn't fully functioning yet. I'm getting help from an expert web writer friend (or whatever they're called) this weekend, so hopefully soon it'll be fully up and running! but, until then, I've set up a
Calico Studio blog to keep up with what I'm doing and to act in the place of a website for now. Check it out soon though!)
