So Much to Do....

Instead, I want to play. Of course, that means playing with Photoshop, and I've been doing a lot with it lately. First of all, my professor Dr. B. has asked me to present a lecture on the basics of graphics in the Commercial Production class. I needed examples so I have been looking at my work with Westminster Cable Network and cleaning things up and fixing others.

Also, I spoke with the graphics director from WPXI earlier this week, who gave me a lot of great advice and resources to use. When I'm not insanely busy upstairs at my internship in the sales department, I will spend some time downstairs just shadowing the designers. The director is being gracious enough to look at my portfolio as well, so I need to put the finishing touches on that and put together a reel of my live remote work.

In addition to all of these projects, I am doing a sort of freelance job for my father. I am creating a press guide for his high school baseball team. The entire design and creation will be my responsibility. If all goes well, I may be able to get some sales work too because we will need to approach businesses about placing ads in order to pay for the printing of the guide.

The images that accompany this blog entry are examples of pieces in my portfolio that I recently improved upon. There will be more to come in future entries.

This is a great idea-- showcase something from the portfolio and tell the story behind it.
