    Advertising and Graphic Design. I like the whole aspect of the degree. Not a HUGE fan of logo design but I do like all the package design portion of it. Right now my biggest thing I would like to do is to seek a job at a local magazine and do some layout design with them to get some experience. Here is a magazine cover I had to do awhile back. Had to place myself on the cover of an existing magazine and design the front to feel like that magazine. So I did a shoot of myself with a blank skateboard and shopped in the board design from a previous project where we had to come up with a board design.

    I've been mowing for 3 years now, money is good, but I am ready for that steady income. :)

    I wish you good luck sir, the job market is expanding like a mofo right now, so hopefully you won't struggle too much getting a gig.

    Thank you sir. There are a couple local magazines around here that I will try getting on with. :) if not then maybe a local newspaper would be good as well.

    Sweet. :cool: I'd like to branch out of the area once I make a little $ and see how I like the surrounding areas. I love the area I'm in now...but more money can be made elsewhere. It's a bitch but thats what you get when you live in a small town. :eek:

    I believe August Home is also here in Des Moines. They have a number of magazines. I don't know if they are owned by Meredith or not.

    Don't worry, Connor. What happens in an airplane on the way back from Vegas stays in an airplane on the way back from Vegas. Now go get some mile-high fossilized strange in the lav. :bananadance:
