went to Arvey's today and ran into Rachael and Crystal. We talked paper and such; it was fun. Anyway, I got some great photo paper and have officially figured out how to print great postcards, front and back! I also found some cool ivory paper that is going to work for my map.
and now time for another shameless plug...

RR: Ch. 2, 3, 4
these chapters addressed the big question we all have:
what do i do after design school?
freelance?
work for a small firm?
work for a big in-house firm?
there are many pros and cons of each and i won't go through them here because they are infinite.
{freelance}
most creative freedom
work for yourself
no guaranteed paycheck
must learn the business side of things
{small firm}
a lot of creative freedom
work with other great designers
more responsibilities as a young designer
no premium salary
expect to work very long hours
{in-house firm}
less creative freedom
your boss is probably not a designer
lots of mindless task-like work
larger salary
experience in the business world
work for bigger clients
these are all very important factors to consider when thinking about where you want to work or if you want to set out on your own. in my opinion setting out on my own sounds super difficult and very risky. i imagine that one day i will do it because i, like many designers, have an entrepreneurial side of me. at first though, i think i may need to experience working for a firm to get the sing of things.
