rollin, rollin, rollin

So I finished the holiday internship at Shoehorn Design yesterday. It was fun. I really enjoyed working in a small company with other creative people. There is no competition & everyone kind of does there own thing. I like that. Next week I start an internship at Action Figure here in Austin. Yea! I really admire their work. They combine graphic design, multimedia & motion graphics, which is what I would like to be able to do, or at least learn to think that way. The barista job at JP's Java is going well. I feel really comfortable there. I enjoy being around college kids again, getting to do work that is easy & non-creative, and having the free time to work on my own projects/internships. I'm still getting used to the new schedule - sleep, eat, work - all of which have not been regular for a long time. It's going really good though. I'm looking forward to a semester where I'm doing work that I enjoy, learning & pursuing creative things that I am inspired by, get to hang out with friends & have funds to do things (even though my free time will be sparatic). I also have a freelance logo & identity project lined up for this month. I'm designing an identity for a friend who is opening up a coffee shop, possibly helping do environmental design & signage + more (whatever I can think of/they can afford). It will be a great project. It's awesome to work with fun, flexible clients who have an interesting creative project to work on - total creative freedom & design work that really makes a difference/has a purpose in the real world.

Here is a brochure I designed yesterday at Shoehorn. It's just a comp so far. I'll find out this week if the client picked it. It was fun. I enjoy designing it. It's fun when you don't have the pressure to please the client because they're not paying you. :)
