Web 2.5 Thunderdome!
This has been a busy week for yours truly.
I’ve been continuing my freelance gig with a prominent interactive agency, and was allowed to contribute some layouts for microsite assignment. Up until now, I’ve been used simply as a resource to crank out the “grunt work” that other art directors either didn’t want to do, or didn’t have time to do: multiple revisions on existing work. It’s boring and often repetitive, not to mention that it’s not terribly creative to simply make changes to something that’s been created by someone else. But it’s the nature of being a freelancer.
Luckily, that’s not the case this week.
As luck would have it, two of my designs were chosen internally to present to the client, and subsequently one of them was picked by the client to move forward into development! Yay me.
Now I’m being allowed to create a design for a huge site overhaul. I can’t disclose the client, but suffice it to say that it’s a HUGE international brand. The internal team here bonked on their first round. And since my design sailed through on the microsite, they’re giving me a crack at the big enchilada.
If that weren’t cool enough, I’m being allowed to sit in on some brainstorming sessions involving Google’s Android Developer Challenge, creating some next-gen technology ideas.
I’ll have some more bloggy goodness on this week’s events in the news (Romney’s speech and the Nebraska mall shooting) after I get my game face on and bust out something awesome.
