今回の会社はA4指定だったから、小振りだけど、表紙をアースボードという味のある厚紙に変更してみたよ。シンナー染めで作った表紙はいい感じに仕上がって嬉しい。けっこう開きやすくできたのも嬉しいし。でも徹夜して作ったのに、その日に送らなきゃいけないというのは、なんというか、生まれたばかりの娘を、すぐ嫁にやる気持ちですわ。(笑)
Images above are my latest portfolio that I sent to one of design company in Tokyo today. As always, I was working on it quite last minute, and it end up biking in the strong rain, and went to post office. I know I shouldn't work last minute, but I usually work as long as I have time to use.. Now, I'm quite tired to do job hunting, it's tough because I have no idea when I can finish, it's like a marathon without gole line.. damn.
This time I created A4 size, small format portfolio, used thick rough board called "Earth Board" as a cover, and printed my logo using thinner transfer techniques. So far I like what I did. But it's a little bit sad that creating one thing spending long time and had to send it right away, and it won't come back. I feel like a father, whose just-born female baby, get married and leaving the house... well, maybe not.. Haha.
それと、Cut&Pasteの賞品、Intuos4と、Pantone®のカラーチャートが我が家に届きました!嬉しいけど…でかっ!このペンタブはとても今の机には置けないから、しばらく使えそうにないぞ…。(笑)
きっとこれは、東京での就活を成功させて、しっかりした机を持つ場所で、デザイナー生活しろという神様からのメッセージに違いないですね…。モチベーションあげて頑張らねば…。カラーチャートはPantone®のは滅多に見た事無かったけど、一個づづCMYKの値が書いてあるから、プリントする時に役立ちそう。単純に、色見てるの楽しいしね。癒しです。
And today, I received some prizes from the Cut&Paste event! Which are Intuos4 pen tablet and Pantone® color charts. I'm so happy! But actually pen tablet is much bigger than I thought and it is impossible to use it with my tiny desk...hmm.. Maybe those cool design items indicate me to "find a cool job and live nice house where you can have big table..", something like that, is that right, my god? Haha. Pantone® color chart one is also pretty useful I thought, especially displayed CMYK numbers next to the each color, would help printing process a lot. Anyway, I guess I have to keep working on job hunting...to use those stuff for good purpose!
