NEW BLOG!

I don’t mean to be mean, but well I was never in love tumblr. I used it because I had to have a tumblr blog for a class. That was now over a year ago. I want to be a better blogger, meaning more posts about a wider range of things. I’m hoping my new platform will give the jump start I need.

What I’m really saying is, check out my new blog: That’s So City

Whoa!

Oh my, I didn’t even realize it had been months since my last blog. Promise to try to be better at updating.

My husband brought home this HORRIBLE business card, from the man that rear ended him on his way to work. He’s fine, car’s fine. No worries….well except for the use of centered, right, left, and justified aligned type all in a 2 x 3.5 in space. Not too mention multiple typefaces, that DO NOT work together.

Website Re-Design

I was never in love with my portfolio site when I graduated back in May. Now here it is September and I’m still job searching, which is getting to be a little frustrating. It’s had me thinking a lot lately about my work, how I’m showcasing it, and how I’m going to get to where I want to be. There are numerous reasons why I don’t like my current portfolio website, the BIGGEST being it is NOT EASY to add more work. Since graduation, I designed my own wedding invitations, programs and place cards. And I am also working on save the date cards and invites for a friend’s wedding. I would like to be able to add this work, along with another wedding invite I did for my sister to my online portfolio, especially since I think it’s my niche, it’s what I want to do for a living…design wedding, birthday party, open house, bridal and baby shower invitations.

I’ve been looking all over including here for inspiration. I really like the idea of a one page portfolio site. Why not put all the work up front? That’s what people are going to the site to see right?
