It was fun during the bubble (both jobs were a couple years ago) lol
A lot of life is just being in the right place at the right time :ninja:
My suggestion is to enter every contest you can find… don’t worry if you think you are good enough. Eventually you will be, if you aren’t already. In the mean time the learning experience is incredible, and sometimes the right people see your work.
Right now I am at that stage where I get just enough clients to survive (granted I live in a very expensive town). But at least I am surviving…
I’m in the slightly more awkward position of being in England. It always seems more difficult for English web developers / designers to get work for major companies.
Luckily I now do work for a big company. Well, big over here anyway. But if I were to go freelance or whatever I’m not sure how long I’d last.
What day does GTA:VC come out for where you live? It’s scheduled for the 29th here which gives me 13 days to go but I might be wrong. I just want to keep my counter on time.
You mentioned entering into contests. Do you mean award sites or is there web contests I don’t know about. Could you mabye suggest some good contests? **
I posted a couple a week or so ago, but I see them on different forums all the time. Also, Macromedia’s newsgroups sometimes will announce them as well… Whenever I see one, I will post it…:goatee: I don’t think award sites do much but pad the ego… but that is just my opinion:cool:
When I was in design school, there were a ton by companies, but then again, the climate has changed… :*(
Yes eilsoe I feel your pain. I do feel real bad that you have to wait like 11 extra days to get GTA:VC. I think the only way for me to shake the guilt I feel will be to play GTA:VC on the 29 for like 10 hours in a row. I’ll be sure to discribe to you in full detail all the new fun and excitment the new game has to offer:) =)
Just kidding man. I do realy fell bad that you have to wait. I will be sure to keep my excitment down to a minimum untill the 11 when we can all talk about the game.=)
Hey Rev
My ego does need a good stroking so mabye I’ll start to submit to some awards sites. I here they can also help increase traffic to you site. Thanks for the tip i’ll check out some of macromedis’s news groups and see what I can find.
Sintax: It comes out the 29th as well, but I am picking it up the 29th so I am not really counting that day. Makes it seem like its a day less, so I get it a day sooner. :):):):)
Rev,
no offense but your portfolio kind of made me dizzy. its also really got no colour (no i’m not british, just trying to start a revolution, but britts are really cool, so no offense).:cowboy:
Ok but you will be paying way to much. I was only looking for a penny. So then it is a deal you are now the offical owner and king of Quebec(you poor sucker).HAHAHA:) =)
Ya thats like close to $4 dollars Canadien so I make a killing off that sale.
Thats why I would like to get some jobs from the states. I can do it at close to half the cost and still make the same amount as someone charging twice as much.
But if I were to go freelance or whatever I’m not sure how long I’d last.
Whenever I see one, I will post it…:goatee: I don’t think award sites do much but pad the ego… but that is just my opinion:cool:
