so apparently, i suck.
so i went into some nameless staffing firm today to register or whatever. i was about a half hour late because there was an accident on i5 and it’s damn near impossible to park downtown. i left my portfolio in my car because i was in a rush (because i was late) and had to go back to get it. after i got it, i sat down with the recruiter dude and he basically looked through it and told me i sucked bawlz. but in a nicer way. he basically said i would never get a good job in design doing this and that i don’t understand design… and that my print design really REALLY sucks and my web design is fairly strong but still needs some work. and that i’m self-taught and it shows, and that my work with typography is weak. and that my pieces were all over the place and that i need to stick to one branded style (a notion which i find a little ridiculous). his accredidations, he said, was that he studied art in college.
i don’t know if that *really* gives him any credit but unfortunately, i tend to agree with him. my art skills are nowhere near where i’d like them to be. i *do* feel like the fact that i’m self-taught shows to a degree… i constantly find myself limited with my lack of knowledge. all of my best pieces i did when i was in art school or in art class. on my own, i have no desire really and don’t really get things done like i should. this past year at trendi yielded absolutely nothing for me in terms of things i can use moving forward, asides from a nice title of creative director.
so what does this get me? i’m not quite sure.
