Something to show what I've been up to...
Long time, no... blog?
Hello everyone!
Well it's been about 3 months since I last blogged... Oops! But I do have a reason. You see, I've been a very busy bee! I updated my online portfolio and started up this blog, then started working full time at the Welsh Assembly Government as a contracted Junior Web Designer. I know, I still can't believe it myself! And what an experience it's been. I've designed a Twibbon which was a big success, and I've been working on a project that includes a redesign and build of an outdated existing website. It's been very exciting and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like my design skills have blossomed by the day! And my CSS skills seem to have improved! All I need now is to sit down and learn CSS3 and HTML5... and PHP... I'll have to substitute TV shows and relaxing for learing and advancing I think!
On a serious note, my contract will unfortunately be ending on March 31st. So I'm out looking for another position to help me advance even more as a designer. Any junior graphic designer and web designer out there knows how difficult this is at the moment. Nowhere seems to be hiring! And if they are, I can guarantee I'll need to battle through 100s of applicants to be chosen. But that's the world we live in at the moment, and I'm doing my best to be the best designer that I can be so that I can advance and be noticed. So I've been updating and adjusting my portfolio (http://www.rebecca-lloyd.co.uk), which I still haven't completely finished, but I'm getting there. Please let me know what you think! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Other than working and improving my website, I haven't much more to report on the design front. If you know someone who needs design work doing, send them my way. I'm looking to do some jobs on the side.
And I will be making more of an effort to blog from now on. I don't want to disappoint my readers! Hehe!
Until next time everyone, have fun!!
