My expected graduation date is March 26, 2011. Just over a half a year a way. I have learned a lot in my school and am grateful for the support given to me during this time. I am worried about getting a real world type job because of my illness. Mom discovered or herd of a woman while visiting lisa about freelancing websites. Freelancing is where you are hire per job, but the trouble here is you have to find the jobs. I found a website called Elance.com. I signed up for this site yesterday. Today I just made my first proposal for a job. A proposal basically is asking for a job with a client and suggesting a price that you will get paid once the job is done. I want to take this slow as I am still in school and it makes me quite nervous, but I proposed to do a job today for a client. The client drew a pencil drawing and wants this pencil drawing done digitally in a vector program, illustrator. It's just line drawing and would take me no more than half a day, at the max. I thought this was a easy job and would give me a decide feedback rating through the site if the client thought I did a good job. The price I proposed for my work is $50 dollars. I went rather cheap because its my first job and I have no feedback on the site yet. It is also a rather easy task that the client wanted. Most designers could do the job in a hour if they worked fast, but I am slow at may take me a few hours. I hope it all goes well and this can be my regular job. The only concern I have with doing this full time for my career is that the jobs are not guaranteed. Meaning it would add a lot of stress on my life in money aspects because I would always be worrying about paying my rent and bills if jobs did not come in time. The ideal world I would have money set aside for my apt and food and bills and this job could just be extra, but that's not life I guess. Anyways I'll let you know if I get accepted and how the first job goes I wont here back for 3 days at worst.

I regret not going to kinkos for the print and cut. Because it did not turn out as well as it could of with me being a standard printer, standard glue, a ruler, and normal scissors. ]]> Dimensional Design tag:www.mckinneytree.info,2010:/steven_mckinney//6.685 January 29, 2010 7:27 PM 2010-01-29T19:29:48Z The assignment was to create a table top desert display item for a mock company.

If you read the explanation one requirement is that I get a MFA, masters in fine arts. I know the economy is bad but I would hope that there would be some way that I may be able to afford this. Whether that be through mom and dad, family members, or a co-signed loan that I can hopefully eventual pay off. This would be a dream and I would finally be able to look at my self as a success and one step further to become self-sufficient and economically secured for my own future. So look at the links I posted. And hopefully we can come up with a plan to further my education and my future success. ]]> High Achievement Award tag:www.mckinneytree.info,2009:/steven_mckinney//6.675 December 18, 2009 6:33 PM 2009-12-18T18:35:55Z You wait your entire life for an opportunity.
