Getting close to the end...

Oh how things are really starting to get crazy and exciting. I just started my 8th and final quarter at Portfolio Center. This 3 months is all about tightening up and perfecting my portfolio, and preparing us to set sail into the industry on a search for the perfect job. It is probably one of the most exciting times of my life thus far, and I can't wait to see the outcome.

Along with the completion of the portfolio I am accepting an intern position at Realm Advertising, just up the road from the city. I will have opportunities to work with some of the video and motion graphics I have been getting interested in lately.

So keep posted. I will have all the finished work up on my website around the beginning of October.

Here are some dates for my finishing up:

October 11th & 12th - I will sign off at school. (Present my finished portfolio to my peers)
October 15th - Graduation at school.
October 29th - Portfolio review in New York City.

Motion to advertising

And here is an example of motion being done INCREDIBLY inside advertising. Enjoy.

Making it move...

So, I have been getting into motion graphics lately. It is all the rage in the industry, and where a good bit of money is as well. Its mostly dealing with After Effects, a program that does many of the effects you see in movies and such. I have a LOOONNNNGGGG way to go to get to this point, but hopefully one day I'll be apart of a team to create something like this. Enjoy.

Actually, Nevermind

I went and tried out Tumblr, but I think I still prefer using Blogger more. So I will just keep posting on here, but keep my Tumblr as well. I have a post coming up soon about this current quarter I just started, which is also my last. The big 8. So get ready.

So long blogspot.

I just want to let everyone know that I am moving my blog to Tumblr. The new address is ewddesign.tumblr.com. For all of you that get emailed updates of my blog, that will be ending as Tumblr doesnt have the feature. So make sure to follow on the tumblr side. Plenty more exciting things to come.

New York City Portfolio Review

First things first. I got new glasses. Here is a picture. Bigger thicker black frames = bigger and bigger nerd. Enough said about that.



May 2-4 I was in New York City. I was chosen to go show my stuff. My portfolio that is. I, along with 300 other students from all over the nation met at the Art Director's Club, in which creative directors and recruiters from all around popped in to chat, look at work, and trade business cards. I had a freaking blast. I got several good contacts, as well as a ton of knowledge for what I need to focus on as I finish school in the next 5 months. If you didn't see my previous posting, check out my current portfolio (which will dramatically change and get better before I graduate) at my portfolio site.
I also tossed in some pictures that I snapped with my iPhone as well.
