Okay, I’ll admit it…finding a job after graduation is rough! Even after having a solid internship and making a bunch of great connections, its really up to YOU to persevere though the almighty fleet of “sorry we’re not hiring”s and even worse—no reply’s! You might think you have the best portfolio or the most tip-top cover letter and resume combo, but what really matters is your attitude. I found myself thinking this was going to be easy, when in reality the only easy thing is finding yourself down in the dumps. But lately I’ve been pushing on. This “cant stop wont stop” attitude seems to be paying off. Never stop creating, and certainly never stop putting forward your best effort. Through consistency I’ve found myself with two interviews these next two weeks. That’s a start!

Ordered some new business cards today. Awesome deals through Zazzle using coupon codes, they’ll be printed on “indestructible paper” (all for 50% off!) I’m just hoping the printing quality is decent.

In order to receive my BFA in Communication Design I will be participating in a Senior Thesis show titled “Hungry”. Everyone should come check it out, not only to see my work but also to enjoy the loads of other work done by my classmates.

Came up with this new header for my website. Might be the beginning of my entire self-branding process…handwritten and highlighted! I love the look of handmade/handwritten things-gone-digital. Its unique and has loads of character. Check out my site to view the small portion of my portfolio that’s currently available: www.aprilchmurzynski.com

Explored a little bit in the industrial waterfront area of Buffalo, NY today. These are just some quick shots I took with my iPhone…The old grain elevators are beautiful and certainly candidates for my senior thesis project this Spring! Lots of cool graffiti down there as well.

This design event is tonight…UB’s version of the international Cut&Paste competition. I’m feeling somewhere in between excited and completely stressed out, but still looking forward to competing and watching everyone else work as well. Check out the international event Cut&Paste for more details on how the whole thing works.

Bought some new (used) lenses today! 50 1.4 and a 17-50 2.8! Got rid of my telephoto lens (18-270) because it just wasn’t doin’ it for me anymore. Had a great run though. My next acquisition will definitely be a new tele. Welcome to the family…beautiful depth of field.
