Let it be known...

So many things are just going crazy these days, and I can't tell you how many times I get asked if I have some work up online anywhere. I also get asked for business cards all the time. Apparently, I'm being too quiet in the industry at the moment, so let it be known. IT'S TIME TO GET ROWDY!!!! I have my domain name again, being EricDewyngaert.com. I'm currently working on my design portfolio site of current work. I will only post major projects for the moment. I don't want to put many out there, since I want to perfect most of my work before it's exposed to the world. But again, let it be known, I have one year of Portfolio Center, and I will be coming at this industry full force. They won't know what hit em. I also redid the blog back to its original look, if you hadn't noticed.

I will also be in the process of branding myself. I want this to be a lengthy process to make sure I have a solid creative brief backing me for clients, as well as much meaning behind the logo, whatever it be. I will be creating my entire creative setup from there on (business card, logo, stationary, and site upgrades). Branding is one area I see myself going into when I finish school. I have learned a good bit about it since I take a branding class almost every quarter.

I am tentatively planning a trip to New York City for a few days during my break to go and see some companies and what they are doing. Building relationships is key at this point in the game, and I look forward to seeing some creatives that I have met from there, as well as seeing some friends. I will also be leaving a few days after my return from NYC to head to Memphis for the AIGA National Design Conference, Make:Think. This will actually be taking place the first week of my 5th quarter, which is my halfway point through school! Crazy how fast time flies. I will return back to Atlanta to get to know my new roommate, Kathleen.

I'll leave you with a video. Pretty incredible.
