Design Goals

Every co-op I do this. With the prospect of some free time on my hands I feel absolutely invincible and proceed to assign myself 5 years worth of work to accomplish over the next three months. Of course, I never complete more than 5% of what I had hoped to finish, but without the optimistic goal-setting I don't think I'd ever get that 5% even started.

Last co-op I was at Kaleidoscope. Of course I was thinking I'd bust out several side projects, get my portfolio packed and ready to go, bring world peace to the universe, and so and so forth. The only thing I did was establish the layout I wanted for my portfolio. This wasn't much, but that head start really helped me churn out the best portfolio I possibly could.

My main goal for this co-op is to get a web site up and running. Of course, that probably means that I'll just kind of start one, but all the same, that's my focus currently. An online portfolio makes so much more sense then these silly PDFs that need to be completely redone every three months. Sites like wix make it look easy enough. We'll see if it actually is...

I'm happy with my work this quarter, but I'd really like to spiffy up the happy cup work and submit it to thedieline.com. Once again, I'll probably not even think about it after I post it. But it's a nice thought. I'd also like to dabble in vray or some other comparable rendering software that's not totally imbecilic when it comes to interiors (hypershot and photoview: you both disappoint me. So very, very much) As time goes on I'll keep y'all posted on what actually gets accomplished.
