So earlier this month I attended SXSW Interactive again. This was my second year in attendance, and feel I got a lot more out of it this year then last. I viewed a few panels, meet some new people, did a little networking, and of course hit up a few after parties. The Frog Party was huge, long lines at the bar and a ton of people, good times.
During all the mixers and after parties I noticed a common need in the industry, graphic designers are still in high demand. The senior level designers are hard to come by, most are employed and the ones that are looking don’t stay unemployed long. My company was looking for junior level designers and we had a hard time filling the position. Any time I mentioned I was a designer some recruiter or project manager would swoop in and hand me a card. Felt good to be wanted, and after seeing some of the resumes for our designer position I know I am still kicking ass. Not to say I am satisfied with my current state, I am always making efforts to improve myself and my talents.
Note to self – Keep busting out ideas for new projects, and one day it will all be worth it.
