Vacuosity

Baby steps

Alright, today was a bit better. Getting something approaching a decent night's sleep helps.

And the work was pretty interesting. As I learn more about designing with variable data, the possibilities seem incredible. I even talked to Boyd today about the possibilities of developing it further. The designers are always frustrated by technical limitations. That's down the road, though. I don't even know what the limitations are yet.

I'm organizing a photo shoot for a one-page ad. It sounds so important: I'm arranging the shoot, I'm choosing models, I'm writing up the shot specs. But it doesn't seem so impressive when we're actually doing it. We're just trying to get it done on time.

All in all, though, it's still pretty cool. I just have to keep reminding myself that this isn't all going to be perfect and easy overnight. I've got to look at it long-term, that over the next few months we'll build slowly toward a better process and more controlled flow. It will get easier too.

I would also bet that after a paycheck or two, my outlook will be a whole lot brighter.
