I just want to apologize for not updating for a while, life has been a bit CRAZY!!!
Recently, I applied for the following position on CraigsList:
“Junior Designer needed ASAP – Low skill OK
We are a local internet Marketing company, looking for a junior designer to help with overflow design work. Full time, in office. No freelance or out of office work.

We are looking with someone familiar with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and if you have HTML experience that would be great, if not , that’s okay we will train you in HTML.

Unfortunately, I did not get the position. It was very exciting to think there have been a possiblity of have a position with real world experience.

I fell in love with this website the moment I logged onto it for the first time. Beautiful color. Amazing graphics. Excellent flow.
