I never imagined what it would be like to finally have a graphic design job. After a single day of work, I'm terrified. So many people wanting so many things (and they all want them RIGHT NOW). VP told me first thing that I had to make invitations and brochures that should have been printed two weeks ago. I now have several posters, banners, catalogs, brochures, signs, and a website to do before next Tuesday. Oh, and I have to drive 45 minutes away every day to take pictures of the latest construction project being done. And to top it off, the IT left after installing my email on my work compy, and it doesn't work. *crawls into hole*

Yep, sounds like my old firm! And their mac would just LOVE to crap out on me.

I don't even get a Mac. I have a Dell, which at least has Adobe CS4 on it. Unfortunately, the IT guy thought that InDesign and Flash weren't necessary, so he didn't install them. I have to wait until he gets back on Wednesday for him to reinstall them, which is why I have so much work to do at home. Sigh. :-(

There was a design firm looking for full time and freelance designers in Philadelphia advertising on AIGAJobs.com. Would you like their information? You can apply online. Just thought I'd pass along the info.

Eh, I'll give it a shot. I'm honesetly an illustrator/animator in the wrong area.

That and a friend of mine has been laid off at 3 separate graphic design firms from this past year due to the economy. She's got more talent for GD than I, and she's now at a call center for the summer to make ends meet. So I've horribly become VERY cautious anymore right now. :/

How far can you travel? This job is in Pittsburgh. I can look for animation/illustration jobs in other states if you want.

pittsburg is nearly 8 hours away.
Thanks, but don't worry about me. Jobs are slim, they only last a matter of months anymore, next to none are relatively nearby, nobody responds to my inquiries, and so on. I really don't want to persue talking about this more. It literally just gets me more and more depressed right now.

And I've done graphic design, I don't like it. Especially package design is something I rather not do. There's next to no illustration, period.

Welcome to the world of work ;)

You'll soon get into the swing of things.

Work your butt off and show them what you're made of.
