a heart with a twist of lemon

so after working for a week at my new job, i figure i may as well mention it. thanks in part to some of my previous blog postings about my adventures on bus 16 (edited for grammer and capitalization), due as well in part to my dinosaur vs robot comic page, not to mention my attitude in general, i landed a marketing position for the twin cities student unions (known primarily for coffman union). the clients i will be working with include goldy's gameroom, the gopher spot, gopher express, gopher express west, the post offices as well as the info desks. i will be coming up with copy and creating basic ideas or drafts for the designers to make into a full blown ads or other visual aids. i will sort of be a mediator between the clients and the designers.

as i have only worked for a week, i have not really dove too deeply into all of this. the work environment is very casual and fun. it feels like a good fit, and i believe that i will enjoy myself there. today i used my little notepad to brainstorm ideas for visuals to go on monitor screens throughout coffman. i sat with my feet up on a desk doodling down ideas, sketching drafts and just using the pen to shoot out any little thoughts that were in my head. sometimes when i scribbled things, i decided that they needed sound effects, so as i drew i made various airplane, bird or other noises. i even drew a giant brain with rain and lightning coming out of it to show that i was brainstorming.

i will try to keep you all posted on any ads that i have a hand in that appear in local papers and magazines and such you can look out for them and give me feedback.so
