DSVC

Well I can't keep up with my blog too well! I have so much to tell ya'll but I've been so busy! Spring break was last week.  I spent most of it with my husband and my kids! I even went fishing with my husband.  Caught 11 bass!! It was pretty exciting!  I usually just like white perch fishing but this was fun. Right before spring break was over I went to DSVC.  It was by far the coolest school thing I have ever been to.  I got to listen to some great presentations by some amazing designers.  I toured the FOSSIL DESIGN STUDIO!!!! It was amazing!! I didn't realize that Fossil did so much! I was tempted to stay in Dallas forever! We toured MasonBaronet, another very impressive design studio, and if I had my choice I would work there.   The entire experience was amazing.  I have never felt more sure about my decision to be a graphic designer.  I know its going to be hard and not very glamorous at times, but its what I want to do.  I don't even want to be a famous designer I just want to be a successful designer.  So I guess my words of wisdom is to know what you want, if you get a chance to go somewhere and see and hear professionals in your field GO!! They will have all kinds of advice for you.  Now its about 15 days until I graduate and I am looking forward to my future.  I have to decide my next step, but whatever it is, I'm ready for it.

A little behind

Well its been a while since I have talked to ya'll last! My senior show was a huge success! I have never in my life experienced something like that.  I worked so hard and was so stressed.  I was a nervous wreck the night of the opening. I bought a new dress and went to the show.  To my surprise there was a ton of people there! I had seen my work hung up in the gallery already (I put it there) but it was just surreal seeing people looking at my work.  The benefit of never really talking to people at school really showed through.  I was able to stand close to my stuff and hear people's honest opinion because they didn't know it was my work. :) I walked up on people taking photographs of my exhibit.  I was so amazed that someone (other than my family) liked my work! My teachers complimented me repeatedly and that in itself made me feel good.  I have less than a month before I graduate.  I wasn't sure if I was ready but now I feel like I am.  I know that I have a lot to learn still and I'm excited to continue.  I am excited to make the next step in my life.  Soon I will be out in the world trying to get a job. I pray that I can find one that will put my degree to use.  So wish me luck :) Hopefully I will have a good update for you all soon :)
