This is sort of how I feel right now. I’m not totally sure how to describe it other than a general “AH!” I just don’t want to do anything productive lately. Instead I’ve been wasting time looking for design internships and jobs I’m not qualified for yet, instead of working on my design projects… which is stupid for obvious reasons.
But it did make me realize how many places I could potentially work as a designer eventually, if I pulled my shit together and actually started making better stuff. I’ve started to compile a “companies I’d like to work for list” just for fun, although it makes me feel like a bit brand oriented, cause they’re mostly big name companies, and I know there are tons of smaller firms and companies that are just ast good.. but whatever, listy time:
Design Firms:
1. Digital Kitchen
2. Meta Design
3. Imaginary Forces
Companies:
1. Amazon.com
2. Apple
3. Google
It’s not so much an order of preference, just a top 3. The top one being so high because they’re Seattle based, and close to home. Although I don’t know why I would ever turn down any of those. Actually, I’d probably be pretty happy if anyone takes me right out of college.
It’s weird how much I’m looking forward to working lately when I’m so bored of school, cause I get the impression work is pretty similar… but I dunno. Maybe I just need something different. I want to stop pretending to make things, and start making real things..
One Trackback
[...] Summer at DK Oh! I have a summer internship lined up with Digital Kitchen! I was sort of waiting to blog about it until I heard from the HA people, but I still haven’t heard from them and I don’t know why that would matter anyways. But yeah, I will be hanging out with the guys at DK full time this summer. Hopefully soaking everything up like a sponge. It’s kind of surreal and weird. They have been at the top of my list pretty much since I realized people did motion design, but I didn’t really expect to get my foot in the door there right away. [...]
