Something that has ALWAYS pissed me off about my college experience is that being an animation major automatically lumped me into the "Film" category, meaning I was forced to take classes that taught me things I will *never ever* apply in any part of my future career. Animators will never have to worry about shooting in bad weather conditions, or knowing who to cast, or naming different f-stops. I bring this up because while at my school I was trying to get people look over my portfolio and tell me what to add/subtract. The people in charge of the department barely looked at my first page before they said they looked over "Film" portfolios and that "Animation" was something they couldn't critique properly. Even though they're considered by my school to be the SAME CATEGORY.
In my spare time, I've been thinking up visuals for my own personal logo I'd put on my DVD demo reel cover, business cards and the like. I'll post them here when I'm finished. Another plus is that I know people who already know how to design web pages and brand designs. They may not be paid professionals I'd need to go out of my way to schedule an appointment with, but as long as they have a good eye and honest critique of my stuff, I don't mind.
In unrelated news, MAKE IT SPRING ALREADY. I'm positive the cold crappy weather is contributing to my sick and tired in a rut mood.
job preparation,
