A gainfully employed designer

My second interview at InventionLand must have gone well, as I am now the newest member of the InventionLand team.  Hurray!  

I'm doing packaging concept design, which is prett darn sweet.  I come up with an idea/colors/basic fonts/overall design for a package and then it is sent to someone else to actually do all the tedious stuff.  Seriously, though, it is s a great environment.  It took me a couple days to start feeling at ease, but, unlike one of the internships I had during school, it is beginning to happen.  People are nice.  Plus the work is totally interesting.  Because of long (11 hours including lunch) work days, and a plate full of projects, I don't have a lot of time for personal work, but a four-day work week gives me a three-day weekend to work on stuff, so I'll still be making shiny new stuff. 

I never heard back from the couple who wanted the tshirt designs, which disappoints me a bit -- especially as they promised that they would be letting interviewees know either way.  I just think that it is a nice courtesy to do so, and especially if you don't have a million applicants, not leaving those you do have hanging is classy.  Wow...that was a rather garbled and inarticulate sentence.  But you get my drift.    

I also haven't gotten final word on the illustration comission I was doing.  Contacted the studio and was told that the client was currently choosing between the illustration and another direction, and that they were trying to herd her towards the illustration and they would...let me know.  Well, if they decide they don't want it,  I'll post what I've got here.  Heck, maybe I'll even finish it.  

Not a lot else is new...the weather is east coast summer hot and humid, but I have a car now, so I can drive to places where there is water.  

And, it is firefly season.
