It’s the end of summer for a lot of design students (we start next week here at CalArts), some of you may have already started classes. Either way, everyone should have some more time on their hands than usual. The early weeks of the semester are usually pretty light so take advantage of that. First off, if you don’t have a website than that should be your priority. There is no excuse for not having your work online, there are dozens of ways to do this and a lot of them are free. Why have your work online? Well it leads to good things, most studios searching for interns will expect to see a portfolio. So if you didn’t get an internship this summer that will definitely give you an advantage next summer. It’s also a great way to get your name out there. If you already have a website then spend your free time making a promotional piece for yourself. If you can’t screen print or use alternative printing, getting postcards made online is super cheap.
Go make something!
