Hello everybody. How are you doing? I'm doing... strange. Not good, not bad, something in the middle. The reason for that is that I quit my teaching job 1,5 month ago and I'm still looking for a job as a graphic designer. Meanwhile I'm sitting at home, trying to take the most out of my time, but you know how it is when you're supposed to create your own routine and keep up with the self-imposed discipline. It's harder than it seems. If any graphic designers read this, I'd appreciate some personal stories of your beginnings.

Hey there,
I am sorry to all people watching me for not submitting anything. I must say my work and personal life keeps me pretty much occupied and the projects I am working on aren't always something to show off or are simply confidential. I feel bad for not feeding my creativity with other stuff, but I will try to change it at least a little bit.
Meanwhile, I'm wishing all the best to all of you. Thank you for your support, comments and +watch!

summer in the city
After a lot of commotion in my life, maybe now is the time to come back to some creative work just for myself, not only for work. I'm sure many of you designers/artists know this feeling, when your job drains you that much that little is left of energy and inspiration when you get home. I hope to overcome that. Best wishes for all.
Every day something new
I haven't written here for ages, but I'm making a comeback. ;) I like the new DA features and the portfolio option, so I'll make the most of it. My life has pretty much changed during this year when talking about my so called career. I had my first experience working in an advertising agency and managing! ;) Then I graduated and officially am a graphic designer. Of course, that is nice and scary at the same time. Questions arise: Am I good enough? Who will hire me? How to make some money doing pleasant work? ;) I've answered at least one - I hired myself and became a freelancer. Commissions, please come. ;) I'm also doing a bit of EFL teachin
MUSIC!
I've been thinking about the inspiration music can bring and what we would do without it. :) I've tried to select my top ten albums that have influenced me somehow artistically or personally. Here they are (random order):
1.Eddie Vedder Into the Wild OST - this is my album of the year 2008, very soulful and emotional, reminding me what is really important
2.Tori Amos Scarlets Walk - that would be... the year 2002 probably or earlier; many songs that are like a journey through different lands; I fell in love listening to them and fell out of love...
3.Nine Inch Nails Fragile - a powerful doze of mus

Ah, thanks for sharing your experience, it makes me feel not so alienated anymore... I guess making dreams come true always requires taking risk. I'm holding my fingers crossed for both of us.
