I'm a real adult!

Long story short:

After interning at The Knot Inc for about a month I was offered a job at another company I had interviewed at back in September. After thinking about it I decided that this was a great opportunity to gain some experience (and make some money) even though the agency was really corporate and I happened to love my job at The Knot.

When I told my boss I was leaving she told me that the whole team wants me to stay and they want to offer me a full-time position.

So, the past week I have been super stressed deciding what to. Ultimately it came down to where I think I'd be the most happy. My team here is really young and so much fun, and they are so helpful that I'm learning a lot. SO, I decided to stay here at The Knot. Maybe someday I'll get sick of designing wedding crap, but for now it's awesome!

It's so insane that I felt like shit on graduation day, thought I sucked and would never get a job in New York, and just a few months later I had my choice of 2 really great positions. Happy Day.

Now I'm a real adult with a full time job and billz to pay.

Crazy.

Ballsy Ads

Bold advertising for Alma Magazine is getting a lot of attention. I'm weary about posting a swastika on this blog let alone allowing it to represent my company.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I just don't think the message is strong enough to warrant the use of this symbol. The other two ads aren't as heavy and I think they work better.

But if they want some attention, this is definitely the way to get it.

Mari Santos

Mari Santos is an amazing artist/designer from Toronto with a flair for creating fashion out of cheap, ugly, mundane things like old tees for example. Her latest project, Urban Renewal does just that. God knows I love this kind of stuff. I've always felt that we pay way too much money to look cool when we could just have it for next to nothing.

Also, does anybody else think that asians are fucking cool? I mean, they're so much more hip than everyone else. Plus, they have better health and higher IQs...

Anyway, check out Urban Renewal and also check out Mari's homepage (because after clicking around I could go on and on about her other projects too) at http://wiredminds.ca/mari/
