i’ve never designed a legitimate page in my life, yet last weekend i found myself in boston at the society of news design’s annual convention.
i may not have any real design experience, but i love every part of this industry and i spent the weekend on cloud nine: inspiration. that is after i scraped my ego off the ground.
my sunflower compatriots and i sat through days of sessions and portfolio critiques that confirmed our worst fears: our paper has a long way to go. it’s hard to hear, but sometimes you have to get knocked down so that you can get back up, stronger.
one of the (many) things we learned was that we need to each have a much greater internet presence if we want to be valuable in the job market. therefore, carissa and i made a pact to both start blogging. thus this page.
I’ve finally made good on my pact and have started my own blog, which I am currently trying to figure out. I love your first post. It was very inspiring.
