College! Freelance! Full Time Job! 07/29/2009
No wonder I can barely keep up with my blog anymore. I started my Visual Communications course at Design College Australia this week. It's amazing how inspiring it is to be in an environment that people WANT to be in - and not only that, they're all so passionate about it, and have great ideas, it makes it so much more challenging to work with. I also went to CLOUDLAND which is absolutely the most visually stimulating architecture I have ever seen in my life. It's amazing. If you find youself there, take in the sites before getting stuck into the alcohol.. because bottom line is, it's just a club. But the interior design makes it worth the sobre sightings. I finished up my website project with Victoria from Second Gear - another wonderful client (I can only hope that all my clients are this great to work with) - she partners a recycled designer label clothing store in Paddington, Brisbane. It's a beautiful store. Very classic, dusty pink paint covering the walls, victorian style furnishings and decore. It's got a great feel to it, and is in a great location too. My project started when she asked me how she goes about getting her own website up and running. Not really knowing anything about HOW to do it, I grabbed my laptop and my knoweledge and made my way to Paddington where I could see for myself the type of store I was going to be emulating in my design. Victoria and I sat and discussed the purpose of the site, what she wanted featured on the site, if she had any images she'd like - lucky I bought my trusty camera and ended up using some shots I took of the store as a feature image! I then went away and created http://www.secondgear.weebly.com After a few adjustments to the content, Victoria is now a very happy customer (or so she tells me!) It sort of saddens me when I finish work, I like the client relationships almost as much as I like creating, but nothing beats client gratitude with the end result. | Someone once said...Anyone who thinks the sky is the limit, has limited imagination.
