Having no classes these days has given me free time to actually do the things I love to do. Pixel art is a new craze of mine but I’m just moving so slow with it. I’ve begun working on a new piece but damn is line art hard to do. Well, when I get good lineart done, I’ll post that here as well as pixelation.

More importantly, though, I’ve been working on a logo for a client and I must say, I’m not being at all serious in my job but (then again I’ve kind of thrown myself into unfamiliar water). It’s pretty obvious to me that this guy is serious about his business’ new identity so I need to be serious. The problem is, I lack the motivation but I’m going to need that if I’m going to be successful in graphic design. I’ve come up with ideas and I’ve actually completed one logo but I’m thinking I need more than one to show him. It’s a good thing that he doesn’t have any preferences for his logo just which means I can take any direction I want.

I still need schooling in graphic design so I’m just relying on the Design Basics Index by Jim Krause. Still, my lack of knowledge of techniques and not enough practice is limiting me but this experience should help me learn a lot. I do hope I am successful with this job. Then, I won’t do any jobs until I graduate unless of course, I know I can do it on my own…
