Accepted a New Job

It looks like I will have sometime to rebuild the second version of my portfolio. I have accepted a new job position within the same company I had been employed, only in a new city. I am moving to Atlanta, Georgia come this September to work at the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper.

The new position is not exactly the internet creative position I was looking for but, it is a little like working as an art director which will give me some management skills that could come…

My New Elevator Portfolio Ver.1

I had started an idea I had for a new online portfolio about a month ago and was just slowly working on it until I realized I was going to need to interview to keep my job. So, I forced myself to not work on any other projects until it was done and hammered it out.

Due to time, I had to simplify my idea a little bit which is why I call this one version 1. You can see my new HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery…

Experienced Print and Online Designer for Hire

I started working in the newspaper industry back in 1996 as pre-press technician simply because I needed to get a foot in the door. I worked my way up in record time  of 3 years to journeyman in their union before finally getting the chance to jump into advertising as a designer where I could put my commercial art degree and computer knowledge to use.

I had made it through a dozen years of service with same newspaper company when cuts came. Luckily, I made it through several…

The service is called Twylah and anyone can sign up for a free page. The really cool thing about this service is the ability to customize it. I…

Just Jumped into iOS Developing

After playing with tons of apps for last couple of years, have decided it is about time to start making apps. Just joined the Apple developer program and looking forward to getting started.

 

So far, I can honestly say that it appears someone made this process of app development way too complicated for some odd reason. Granted with time, it will all seem easier but the initial impression leaves a big learning curve to overcome.

 

I am working with a Cocos2D…

Talking and Creativity

I was having one of those days that I needed to work throughout the day with my headphones on to concentrate and really be creative. I had lots to do and all the chatter around me was just too distracting.

 

In my experience, many times those that talk the most seem to provide the least amount of creativity, attention to detail and sometimes, the least amount of output. Yes I am creating a stereotype and no it doesn't apply to all but I think it does fit most.

To Go Cheap or Hold Firm On Price

I had been looking around on various websites posting freelance jobs with most being just simple contract type of work and was really disappointed in the value most were offering for services. Some weren't even touching minimum wage when you consider time needed.

 

Then, I thought about how much I would like to make per hour which is a price I set a couple of years ago. This is taking in consideration computer equipment, software, time, taxes, and honestly, my personal amount…
