Home Job Dust Over Here Y''all!!!

[Smurfysmiles]

I was wondering if I could request some job dust

I have an phone interview this coming week to discuss a position designing logos for a skateboarding company! How fun would that be! They also design golf gear, motocross, hockey, lacrosse, etc. branding so it would be really cool! Plus I would work about the same distance from home as I do now so here's hoping it goes well. They've seen my portfolio already and contacted me, all I've got to do now is impress them with my fabulous personality lol I gotta say, this has been a pretty awesome week

It went well, they want me to make a sample logo and if they like my ideas, i may be getting offered a full time job

 

[SarahLovesJS]

Sounds like a cool job, good luck!

 

[noelwr]

sounds like you''re almost there.

will you share your sample logo with us? or is that not allowed?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

im allowed, im waiting for the owner to send the image files of the direction they are trying to go with it. I''ll call him in a bit if I don''t get anything

 

[yssie]

Ooh fingers crossed! Good luck Smurfy

Ok, here's a little golfer dude I drew up that they could use on products

Im really proud of this one, it took me over 4 hours!!!! Well getting critiqued from some graphic design friends and correcting stuff then going back and adding or subtracting things. But anyways, this is just ONE of the ideas im sending to him I was going to do a golf ball with a face on it but they already have 2 brands that are like that and I didn't want to copy anything...

really cool! it is amazing to me that people can create images from nothing on a computer. I''ve tried to draw in Paint or one of those applications, and god, do I NOT have a steady mouse hand!

Lol me either, microsoft paint is the worst!!! I use different tools that make everything look nice and smooth You should see my real drawing irl, its actually not very good at all lol

Good first draft Smurfy!

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I also created some of these, just to make things a little more diverse

They liked my ideas! They just want those last ideas to be more cartoony/kid oriented so they are giving me a little extra time to go through and change those ones

 

[noelwr]

awesome! just don''t use any photos of Tiger in your designs.

I can imagine it might be difficult to make golfing look cool to kids. I mean let''s face it, it just doesn''t have the same feel as skateboarding, nor do you really see kids with fashionable baggy golf clothes on the golf course. good luck to you, it sounds really tough!

 

[Smurfysmiles]

lol yeah, hopefully I can come up with something!

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Smurfy I meant to respond last night but PS was being finicky. I really like the last one and the third to last one. Great news re:n their feedback!

 

[katamari]

Good luck to ya, Smurf!

It sounds really promising that they contacted you for specific examples.

 

[Smurfysmiles]

Thanks guys We worked on a couple more samples today that are more cartoony (i.e. see below so hopefully this all works out....i guess we''ll see

 

[charbie]

those are great! good luck and lots of dust!**!!**!!**

 

[zoebartlett]

Smurfy, that''s awesome news!! Lots of dust heading your way.

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Smurfy that last one is great! Any news from the job?

 

[Smurfysmiles]

No news so far :-\
I''ve had some jobs where I didn''t hear from them for a week because business was booming, I''m hoping that''s the case here *crosses fingers*

 

[Smurfysmiles]

I just heard back! They want me to do a final draft and I have been given a long list of details to change, here''s hoping they like the final draft

 

[Hudson_Hawk]

Good luck!

If anyone is interested, here is how my logo progressed this afternoon
