It's a long way to the top

My part-time design job at a local PR firms is now so minimal, it's really a joke to call it a job. Fortunately, FreeFrog Designs is doing well and consulting business keeps picking up. Suffice to say, barring an amazing job opportunity arising, I'll probably just keep working for myself, since it's actually more stable and there's a future in it. Companies seem about as loyal as water on a hot roof.

To compliment my new freelance push I'm planning on moving back into design areas I love -- gaming, icons, logos, interfaces and merchandising -- and forgoing all this governmenty sh%t Sacramento firms keep offering me, since that's about what they pay and expect from creative types. Another year of such drivel and I'll go crazy. I don't care if it's print or web -- they're both great mediums to design for -- but I just need to be allowed to flex my creativity again, instead of consistently asked to dumb down my designs, whereby I can't even proudly display pieces in my portfolio. :-(

Also, the rumors are true...an all new FreeFrog.com website in the works. The ALL NEW website is almost ready – along with matching branded print materials.

The next post will probably be about the new site going live, so stay tuned my little tadpoles, stay tuned. Good things are in the works. :-D
