I made a creative friend. The guy from Vox Creative sent me his full reply later last night.

"Had a chance to take a look this evening and really impressed. You've got some great ideas and clearly a lot of skills to take you into a professional career."

Made me feel awesome. He had a lot of good advice for me and how I'm going to break into this industry. It might not be how I originally planned it, like every single plan I had for this year, but I'm going to go for the biggest, most famous and successful agencies out there and offer my sweet, newlyish graduated design skills for nothing.

Yes. Nothing.

If I can get to doing great work in great companies, not only will I have more designs for my portfolio but I'll have top connections and a higher chance of landing a position in the company of my choosing. I realise that this will be financially crippling on me and for my own well being I will need another casual job to live on but I want to design. I want to design with the best and I want my design to grow into one of the best out there. I just need to start whoring my soul out there. The guy gave me a list of all these top companies too. He also said that if they had the capacity, he'd definitely take me on (again for like 'bus fare' pay) and should they have a few more clients through the door, who knows..? :D

What was funny was when he suggested I do AWARD School which is almost full circle this time last year when Khim told me I should consider it. I've put my name down and hopefully I can follow through with it this time (although I think I had a very good excuse for not doing so earlier this year). I have to fulfil a brief to get accepted though and I'm not et sure when that's happening.

So the forecast for next year is me, breaking my back over at Frost for nothing, stressing over the next AWARD assessment, sponging off my parents cause I still have to live at home and frantically looking for another part-time job that is nothing like Woolies. All this and plus no social life. Well, even less than what I have now xD

Great.


Also, I had an urge to bake some bread today that would not subside until I baked the living crap out of something. Naturally, it tastes terrible and was overall, a complete disaster. And then, when I tried to toast it in a feeble attempt to make it taste better, it burnt.

Clearly the unknown baking forces of the world are trying to tell me something.


Laser tag tonight. May we make waste of the fierce ankle biters that plague the centre. Their fading, blinking lights will lie motionless in our wake. Oh yes my comrades! There will be blood.
