You know that niggling feeling you get when you know you’ve forgotten something but just can’t place what it is? Recently I’ve had that feeling. And upon looking through my bookmarks today and seeing “WordPress” written there in front of me it suddenly struck me!
So, what have I been up to in the 4 months since my last post?
This past weekend has been running around, speaking to insurance company and the police after some lovely soul decided to smash in my drivers side window on my car. Didn’t steal anything, didn’t even open the door after, just smashed in the window. How charming.
I’ve also spent time considering a return to education recently, with a view to doing a degree in Graphic Design. It’s an area I have a lot of interest in but I have no artistic background, no GCSE or A-Level art, just a keen amateur interest. I love creating pieces of art in Photoshop, creating logos or banners for peoples websites. I’d love to do more of the same in a more in depth way and hopefully end up with a job where I can make use of my skills.
So I’ve enquired about a HNC course at a local college that should start the ball rolling. It’s only one day a week and, hopefully, work will let me switch hours to have that day off and work longer hours the other days. That way I can continue to work full-time and keep earning while learning. And then, should I get onto the course and do well, it may mean a return to Uni to do a full on degree.
It’s all early stage stuff at the moment but I’m kind of excited about the possibility. Even the news reports this morning about graduates struggling to find work has not dampened my spirit.
So, for todays short but sweet catch-up post I leave you with some examples of my amateur graphic work. And I promise not to leave it so long til my next post!
