While I was working in the half-lit back corner of Home Depot in the wee hours of the morning, or what becomes morning, I had an epiphany...
It all started with my portfolio. I need to create more items for my portfolio, but I really hate using samples I've just invented that are obviously NOT contracted work - like the art museum poster for Degas (see my portfolio at www.fiercegirldesign.com). It looks cool and the design is tight, but it says "Hey, I've never had a REAL job as a REAL designer so I have to invent my own projects because no one will hire me. Did I mention I'm 30 and I live in my parents' basement?" That's not the kind of vibe I want to convey.
So I started thinking...
Wouldn't it be cool to have all my friends and my friends' friends write super witty and informative articles about music and film?! Witty articles I could use to fill up the pages of my fabulously creative newsletter about music and film. I think it could be a really diverse and informative piece filled with reviews, upcoming tours, commentaries etc. - anything of interest relating to the music and film industries - possibly even tv. I think there's a real need to discuss things from a Christian perspective without being obnoxious about it. I'd like to get some deep, thought-provoking stuff as well as fun, wacky stuff.
So, anybody interested? I'd love to hear HONEST feed-back.
