I realized I hadn't posted about my new job yet so I figure it's time to do that. 

 

Late in April I was contacted about a position doing "devsigner" work for the Microsoft Game Studios.  Basically a devsigner gets to spend a lot of time in Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash as well as creating a lot of web page templates using mostly xhtml and css with a little javascript thrown in.  They can design and code.  

 

I figured since someone took the time to seek me out and the job sounded too good to be true I should at least take a look at it.  Well, I got the job and it's certainly been a blast.  It fits in really nicely with the degree I'm working on too.  It's contract work but I'm cool with that and I've certainly learned a great deal.  Oh - and I sit on the design team and not on the dev team but I'm the bridge - I work and talk with the devs a lot.

 

Anyway I get to work on lots of sites for upcoming games and it's once again cool to have a job where most of the people game as much as me. 

I actually finished my first quarter of classes on the 14th but I've been too busy since to say anything.  I managed to get straight A's in all my classes though.  I have to admit having two final projects due on the same day kind of sucked a bit but it's all good.

 

Summer quarter doesn't start until July 14th but I'm really looking forward to it.  I'm taking History of Art in Early Civilization, Fundamentals of Design, Drawing and Anatomies, and Visual Indication.
