Work.Hunt.Work.Hunt.Work

My dear friends,

I have officially joined the unemployed team! My feeling right now? Too busy to have any negative thoughts. I am catching up with the hiring season and get whipped up by this craziness. 

Tonight, instead of working hardcore on my new updated personal website, I decided it is time for me to take photos of my work before they all get torn  down from lying around in my portfolio box. This actually is a good move because I need to format them anyways for the new website. The better I prepare, the faster this site is going live. 

Check this out, folks!
DIY Soft Box
My first ever DIY project that requires cutting and taping. Notice the cutting lines, they are actually straight. I love you X-acto knives! I found the link somewhere a couple of years ago from Strobist (linking from another DIY site) but failed once because the box was smaller than my objects. This time, I saved my box from the Amazon package of my scanner (which was originally for my who-knows-when moving). It is a perfect size because it is big enough but not too deep. I cut out 3 squares from 3 sides of the box and taped the smaller sides with tracing paper. The top was diffused with my curtain taped with clothes pins. I used all the lamps I had in the room to create the light and made sure the white balance was accurate enough. 

Here is the result: 
Magazine layout design since sophomore year <3
Schweetttt! I am soooo excited but exhausted at the same time. I have about 15-20 projects that need to be formatted or photographed to put on the new site. My super unrealistic deadline is a week. I will be updating my process soon. Giving up is failure and Annie never wants to be a loser.
