The future is intimidating. It’s unknown. No matter how much I want to plan for it, it still remains vague. Mysterious. What will the future hold? I’m currently working to try and get myself a portfolio site up. Hopefully, that process will make it’s way here.
Until then, my future remains suspended in this viscous like matter. Only when I start to really put words to paper, or code to screen, will things start to solidify and feel more grounded.
I’ve realized that Case Studies will probably be my best bet to getting hired out in San Francisco because my design skills are most likely not strong enough to be competitive. I do feel as though my technical writing and analytical abilities might be.
Progress wise, I’ve identified the pieces of work that are going to be showcased in the portfolio and written short descriptions of the project. The next step will be to delve deeper into specific case studies, detailing why they failed or why they succeeded.
I failed to get a subdomain up on my website, and because of that block, I’ve felt a little discouraged. But I think it will be refreshing to completely scrap my old site and get WordPress up and running. The goal is to get something up by the end of the month.
The other thing that needs to happen is to create a brand for myself. Probably one of the hardest endeavors a designer can do if we get too involved. I just need to step back and simplify.
I have the outline—I need the motivation. It’s time to get to work. Otherwise, it might seem like I don’t want this change, or I’m too scared to roll with it.
