Job Offer

Sun May 21, 2006, 12:18 AM

Wow, someone offered me a job when I get out of college...

Just so long as I keep my creativity sharp, and maybe learn photoshop. He can get me in as an art director or for advertising. If and when I graduate.

Wow.

I just don't know if I still have it. My Design professor in architecture told me I had it, but I've been so out of touch with my creativity the past semester and this summer that I'm beginning to have doubts. I've let myself become bogged down by depression or physical fatigue or mental stress that I have let my artistic skills atrophy. I'm not even at the level of a first year FA student. I'm not even sure I would've passed the talent test if I had taken it last year and I feel I wouldn't pass it if I took it now.

Maybe I'm overreacting, or he's overestimating my abilities. I've always had problems being extremely creative under pressure. Sometimes my stuff comes out extremely blase, or sometimes it becomes uberly creative. It's a hit or miss situation...

Cultivate creativity while taking up economics? (I hope my application gets accepted...) Should be a fun three years to go.

I should learn photoshop just in case.

If ever I should fuck this up, I have a few people in mind to recommend anyways.

Extremely creative and likable personality?

A job offer this young!

You had better take advantage of that! Of course, it'll be a hefty challenge getting better in art while being crushed by the monotony of Economics

IF, I keep my creativity. As of now, it's been drained. I've bought a few SF novels to remedy that.

Ender's Game and the Foundation Series...

If you're stuck in a rut, there's always fa to hang out in

I think it's alright to get by without art training, just as long as you keep yourself in practice. It also helps if you get other people to train with you. This is too fantastic a chance to pass out on! Go and kick ass ayt?

Hey, on break right now (so I'm wandering around in Katipunan, getting my nails done and logging on a net cafe. hahaha) Oh my god, job offering? That's so amazing and you'll do fine, Personally. I'm so un-creative for so long and it only gets up and running if I'm on a competitive high or turning in a portfolio for an org. Hay, I need an aesthetic fix.
Like learning watercolor.... boosh.

Oh well, just dropping by to say hi. Good luck!
