it is when i observe really impressive design work that i’m reminded why i got into this field. What I didn’t realize at the time is possibly how hard it can be to get to work at that level (unless you are super talented right off the bat and land yourself in the right situation) – because in between, you might end up landing jobs where you’re gaining experience and getting better but having to deal with people telling you how to design things (even though you went to school for it) and forced on small projects like editing flyers. No thanks.
here are some impressive portfolios i’ve stumbled across:

and of course
Right now I have a big variety in skill that spans across the board of design, development, IT, business, marketing – but I’m really not a master of any of them, because I haven’t worked in a situation that allowed me to work on projects at a higher level and derive passion from them.
My new plan however will allow me to fully direct my own projects and use them to influence people for the better. more later.
