New Portfolio

It has been a while.

This is my last week working at the architecture and graphic design firm I've been interning at for the Summer. I'd love to stay, but I just can't afford it. So I'll be moving back to Vallejo... until I can find a job.

I've been meaning to apply for jobs for the past two weeks or so, but progress has been slow. I've been updating and redesigning my resume. And I just decided that I would also redo my portfolio. Yikes. It didn't take me very long to dislike my old portfolio. I figure I might be able to get a better job with a better looking portfolio. So far...
...Not much. Let's just hope this doesn't take too long. And let's also hope that I won't get tired of this one in 10 seconds either.

There goes the fear

To stay or not to stay in Berkeley???? :(
I haven't applied for any jobs yet, even though I told myself I would a month ago.

My brother got me this cool book from Japan. It comes with 140 different fonts. Exciting.

Web concept stuff

These are design proposals I made for a newletter management company. A couple days ago, I was worrying about not having anything new to put in my portfolio, but I'm extremely satisfied with how these turned out.

By the way, I have an online portfolio @ coroflot.com/brianjocson

Creeper

I guess my new hobby is finding people who are either sleeping or not paying attention to me and sketching them. I can't help but feel like an awkward stalker/creep/weirdo/loser, but.... i feel like it's really good practice. And everyone's favorite building on campus. /sarcasmThe past few days have been pretty eventful, but today has been really relaxing (or boring?). It's got me thinking about what I'm going to do after this internship. I want to be paid. I started looking on Craigslist for full time jobs... there are a ton more graphic design jobs than architecture ones. Too bad I don't feel quite qualified enough for those. I don't like my portfolio anymore, but most people know how long that took me to put together (HAHAHHA......). I'm hesitant to apply for anything - I don't know if its because I'm procrastinating or if I'm scared.
