Lots of things happening as of late!!!

Hello one and all. Yes, I know. It's been a while since I last posted something on here but a lot has happened within the past two months and I'll tell you one thing, I'm actually excited for the future now.

Today I started working at Blueprint Design Studio where they concentrate mostly on web design and menu design. And even though for my first day I was making copy changes (easy, breezy stuff) I was assured by one of my coworkers that I won't be doing this anymore or for much longer. I would actually get to design REAL stuff and have projects that I can be excited about. I want to point out that my friend Lauren that I went to school with at Columbia gave me this opportunity to intern for them and I'm so grateful that she did! XD

Next, I have an interview with Mr. Steve Chapiro this upcoming Monday. He is a world renowned photographer, where his work have been featured in Time, The Rolling Stones, Life, Vanity Fair. The list goes on and on! Anywho, I'm very excited about it and I hope I get to work with him. ^_^

Thirdly, I finally got my website up and running. Click here for the official Cassandra Ozouf | Graphic Designer website.

Lastly, I've finally started to put my zodiac cd covers up on etsy. You can view them here.

Alrighty, that's it people. I've been feeling so accomplished with myself lately and I hope I can continue on this streak for a very LONG time!

Talk to you later!

The Website Thus Far...

Over the past few months I've been creating a website. The gathering of the photos for the individual portfolio pages (which took a while I must add due to turning pdf's in jpg's and then cropping them and so forth), choosing a color scheme, and arranging everything to make it user friendly, has been a daunting but such a rewarding experience. However, even though it is finished and even though I like it very much, there are two things which have yet to be done.

1) Purchasing a domain name.
2) Adding some sort of themed background to go with the existing illustration that is already there.

I have included a screenshot of the main site and would delighted to read any suggestions you might have to make some changes to it.

Thank you all and I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season where ever you are.

There's always a first for everything

Well everyone, congratulations, you have stumbled upon my first blog and my first blog entry ever! I took the advice of my former supervisor, Cole, and decided to make one of these. I think this will be a good thing because A) I can talk about my graphic design projects that I am working on and B) maybe have some people comment on some of my designs and see what others have to say about them.

That's all I have to say right now. I'll definitely have more things to say when I progress this further, but for right now, that's it.

Now it's time to eat!
