Another one of my callings… October 5, 2008

Adobe InDesign*, the perfect program to deposit my obsessive compulsive urges.

In an effort to create my marketing materials for Ren Duvet and further extend my skill sets, I started taking an Adobe InDesign class at Berkeley Adult School a month ago.  Although not quite a master at graphic design yet, I am beginning to believe that I may have chosen the wrong major for myself during undergrad. Graphic design work is so much fun!  I get to create beautiful things on blank screens without having to spend years learning to draw, although I always had the curiosity to paint one day.  I get to obsess over the exact placement of every line I put down without feeling my own suspicion of being crazy.  In print design, every detail counts, and I love to, and also can’t help to, drown my time in the details.  This is the perfect software and excuse for someone who is destined to think small like me!  Yet again, I’ve found another calling; another part time career potential…

Life is wonderful, isn’t it?
