The Cards

In college they never really talked very much about screen printing from a graphic designers perspective. Granted, design and color theory all the same, but there is a whole different set of rules as from regular print. From the computer screen to the final product, a design goes through many processes that could change the the overall look of a finished piece. So one must predict how things are going to look in the end given the type of screen used and how much it is exposed, or the specific colors used (because some are thinner than others), or the color or type of fabric used because that will determine whether or not you will need to design an underlay of white to compensate that the fabric might show through. It is alot to know.

We also deal with many customers who have no idea what they are talking about. Example:"I sent you guys a high rez vector image". I kid you not, that was from today.

PDA is a really good place to work and anyplace that lets me wear flip-flops and shorts is pretty cool in my book.

If it is not one thing, it is another!

Sad faces and broken hearts is what I received after telling the clients at the group home where I work at that I was leaving for a new job. It is a rewarding job knowing that you are caring for people who can't always or know how to care for themselves. I will miss them. Soon I am going to get a group photo of all of them, and when I do I will post it up so you all can see who I have been working with since November.

On a different note, I started my new job Monday working from 8 am to noon. As I was trying to leave, my car did not start. How embarising! My first day and I already had to leave my half-beater car in the parking lot. There was something wrong with the starter. I had to catch a ride with a guy fom work to go get our other car which was with Mary at Starbucks. Thankfully it is rather close and he was going to his bank at the same intersection. So with a new job comes a car that does not run and a $950 bill. I got the car for free, so we are going to wait a day and see if it is worth it or not.
