Something New

Hey everyone!

Ah well I do have a little news to share with you. I have taken a full-time job with American Speedy Printing here in Auburn. I started last Wednesday so it's all very fresh right now. I thought it would be a good idea to work in the print side of things so that when I do find my professional job I will be able to realize how the printing processes play into design.

So far it's been a mix of doing small design tasks (similar to my work at Relevant of filling in numerous templates or recreating documents) and repetitive manual labor such as sticking seals on thousands of birth certificates or making copies. I'm thankful for the opportunity and I'm enjoying seeing how design goes through the various printing processes. They run a few old-school presses and ones with plates so I hope that I might get some more experiences working with those.

In the meanwhile I'm still searching for a professional job in the South East. I just took up some contract design work with Adventures in Missions so I am very excited about that. I continue to apply to anywhere with a working email address and check search engines like SimplyHired or Monster at least a dozen times a day. I still have some hope for the Harvest design firm in Memphis, but they won't have the space to add anyone on till at least June.

That's all I have for now! Oh and my parents got a crazy little fuzzball of a kitten we named BOO - she's adorable and fierce as most kittens are. Everyone have a lovely Valentines day and as always, thanks for stopping by.
