I’ve been busy – way busy, with different projects recently. I’m hoping to devote a little more time to the development of my personal site over the Autumn. This will include building my portfolio/resume section, as I need to start using it..
Last week I lost my corporate position as a junior web/graphic designer. It was through no fault of my own – the company was making changes and I choose to leave, rather than going back to my original position as a telephone based customer service assistant.. in Fife.
I’m grateful for the experience and really enjoyed working within the marketing team for the 10 months I was with the company.
Onwards to bigger things.
Freelance has been keeping me occupied and work seems to be steady for now. I’ve been working with Andrew Partridge on the Scotland Loves Animation brand identity, print graphics and website. This work has developed from a favour for a friend into a full client project, so I’ll be working hard to produce a lot of high quality material for the charity.
In the past couple of months, I’ve also had quite a few adverts published in SFX magazine – mostly for Beez Entertainment, but recently for SLA also. Keep an eye out for the latest special edition, with an Anime theme.
My main project, Ozarin has been developing well. Since starting in May, we now have 5 regular contributors (including myself) and more than 60 articles. I’ll be looking to develop the site even more this year, with the introduction of new mascot artwork from NANOjam and JC of the Red Flame, podcasts, ‘blurbs’ (short articles) and a new website to manage the new features. I’m also working on something a little bit special – more news on that as it comes to light.
If you’re heading to Amecon, check out our convention book advert!
Auchinawa steadily draws near. Stephen (chairman) and myself are working on a press release, confirming guests and other things. This can be expected over the next week or so. We will also be opening our convention book submissions, so time to get creative! We’re looking for articles, artwork and adverts. If you have something you think should be published, then get working on it!
Until my next time, you can follow me on twitter (@bryoz) for blurb-esque insights and musings.
