The Communicator

Along with other projects this quarter, I have also decided to take two credits to work with the college newspaper. Our paper here at Spokane Falls is called The Communicator. The first edition of the quarter was releaced this morning, I designed three of the ads that were in this edition. One of which was designed in a crunch, I only had an hour and a half to get it done, the client liked the work I had done and will run another ad in an upcoming issue.

More to come latter

Homecoming

Well guys Reality Check was a blast the ten professionals who critiqued my work all had helpful suggestions to help me improve the look and feel of my portfolio, once implemented I believe my portfolio will really stand out.

Also I was asked several times where I thought I would be headed after I graduate, what direction I want to go with my career. On of the places we toured was Digital Kitchen a firm that specializes in digital media.

I think that I would ether want to go into advertising or possibly digital media presentation.

This trip was really a lot of fun, I would not have missed it for anything.
