I received the papers on friday evening saying that I own the name and can operate a business under it. So years after purchasing the website, the final piece of the puzzle is fit into place.

Resumaes sent out. And NSCAD contacted. However it seems asthough NSCAD is giving me the run around. Although that may be perspective and not fact. Universities do have a much different approach that colleges, so all these phone calls may be part of a larger proccess I am not aware of.

I am a genious like that. It was not ment to infact have any relavence in the industry but I am glad it does.

personal meaning: in norse mythology there is a wolf named Garm who is bound with magic thread forged by trolls. He is bound because he is so powerful and an influential player in the end of the world. The gods believe that by binding him they will prevent the end of the world, however they cannot. The end starts anyways and Garm breaks free of his bonds. In graphic design there is a standard that you need to meet, I intend to break past it.

industry meaning: paper is called bond, and when you design a book/catologue it has to be bound (the process is binding)

when I was coming up with that phrase, I didnt even clue into that hidden meaning. Im amazing.

Or rather, as smooth as a 26 hour train ride can be. I’ve been littering the city with my resume, and portfolio. Hopefully I hear back soon. Otherwise I have been in contact with someone regarding outsourced graphic design work. Hopefully they do not find my prices too outrageous and are willing to work with me. On the flip side, I could always just get a part time job and then start moonGarm graphic design as its own business.

This wednesday is a women’s entrepreneur meeting that I hope to attend. Take many little folio’s etc. Maybe I will have business cards by then.

And I actually remembered to change all the names on all the documents. I also put up my new “slogo’ ” as I call it. I am very proud of it too. Hopefully it will generate positive feed back.

Between trying to come up with interesting and diverse cover letters for different jobs, and trying to get my logo & website up to snuff, I am going a little whacky. I am currently trying to update the webpages to include the new logo and slogo’. Hopefully it all gets uploaded tonight before I go to sleep.

I will be arriving back in Halifax on the 24th and what a glorious day it will be. Not long after that I will either have to secure a job or launch moonGarm graphic design, as its own studio. And although that is the long term goal (w00t! go long term goals!) I would like to have far more experience working with other designers *cough* stealing mad skills *cough* and learning more about the industry from real live people. You can never know too much.

Before the 11 days are up, I will be updating moonGarm.com to include the new logo, as well! I have finally thought of my catchy one liner that will bring me in the big bucks valuable clients. I bet you would just LOVE to know what it is huh? Tough. You will have to wait and visit the website.

Starting in the spring moonGarm graphic design will also be offering prints of paintings, postcards, and hand bound books (inspired by a present I recieved from a friend some 5 years ago) for sale.
