Title: I need an art/ media/ design gig in NYC - any leads?
Post by: KickTheBobo on June 29, 2009, 10:33:30 AM: Hello fellow FOT,

I have recently relocated to the nyc area, and am searching for some kind of work in the art/ media/ design field. Entry-level or decent internships as well. My skill set covers everything from the Adobe Creative Suite, 3D modeling, HTML/CSS Web design and audio production. I am pretty much looking for ANYTHING that would help me get my foot in the door. I will appreciate ANY help or suggestions as to where to begin looking. PM me or email at kickthebobo@gmail.com. feel free to text/call me as well at 401-345-1870 with any leads.

some of the type of stuff I have done:

ALSO: If anyone needs ANY kind of design work done on-the-cheap, I am totally available. CD covers, gig posters, print ads, etc. feel free to contact me. Doesn't have to be locally.

Thanks so much!

Come on people, the fact that KtB isn't swamped with high-paid jobs is a disgrace!

ps, I despair for graphic designers. People have shitty taste.

I usually end up doing dozens of drafts of stuff like that, and since we were under the gun to get them printed up we just used an earlier, less refined version.

The 'Karate Fist' one went through like 20 different iterations (hey, i never mind honing my skills) some of which were much cleaner. I think what we ultimately tried to mimic was the look from one of those comic book ads. like so:

I just forwarded your stuff to this guy I know who is managing some pretty major website overhauls. I don't know if he is looking, but it is worth a shot.

(If I grow a pair, I'll be moving up there in the next year or so)

Ever. Everyone should hire you all the time, for everything.
