assignment 1.0: proposal / assignment 2.0: personal marketing package

As an assignment for our professional practice class, we are to keep blog posts reflecting on assignments and lectures throughout the semester.

For our first assignment, we were to generate a resume, cover letter, and work sample sheet. It was beneficial to finally have the need to produce some sort of resume and work sample sheet, but I was not very excited about my end result. Though I had a hard time on assignment 1.0, it helped me realize immediately what I wanted to change for the next try.

With assignment 2.0, I really felt I came up with a set of documents I am proud of, and can continue to add to. The hardest part for me was coming up with my graphics, as I had so many different ideas. My current blog header is what I decided on for my name.

With my graphics, as well as the work I chose to sample in my portfolio, I wanted to focus on my hand drawing and making skills. My name graphic features a hand drawn underline, and my email stands out with a hand drawn @ symbol. Below is my leave-behind graphic, which is a collective example of my entire graphics and marketing package.

Aside from our physical marketing package, we were also asked to join LinkedIn.com, and begin making "connections" with our peers and professionals we might meet. LinkedIn is a great way to keep a networking web of people you meet, and also a good way to meet new people!
