Almost a month...

It has been almost 1 month since i left Auto Salon and joined Generic Publication. initially, i thought i would be so bored with this new company. but now, all seems to be going well. maybe my ability to adapt to new environment helps. its more like a routine for me now, get in - work - coffee break - sketch between jobs - lunch - coffee break - sketch - work - home.

i must say, the people i work with are generally cool, friendly. i do get along with most of the designers. they have no problems stopping by my desk to say hello or to 'bludge' (the term they use for doing anything else apart from work). the best part about this job is, there's no pressure and stress whatsoever. pick up a job from the co-ordinators, take ur time and when you finish, pick up the next one. most of the jobs can be finished in an hour or so but no one really cares how long you take to finish as long as it looks good and screams RETAIL!!! designing retail ads is a lot harder than i thought. most of the designers thinks designing nice ads are hard. designing ads that sells are even harder. especially when you have to incorporate starburst, 5 colours in 1 ad etc. to have all these elements in the ad but still look half decent and presentable is harder than most people think. but then, im managing... so guess its not impossible.

the only negative thing i can say about working here is there isnt anything else you could do here apart from work. there's no internet connection for the designers, cos there's no need to (so they say but then its quite true, since we dont have to look for any images, its all provided.) and limited breaks.

well, end of the day, one can never be 100% satisfied with anything regardless of how good it is. so all i can say is... there's no complains (this stage at least).
