The random thoughts of a young designer. http://www.jamuse.com/Home/Blogs/tabid/55/BlogId/149/Default.aspx en-US allen@allenwalkerdesign.com noreply@museworx.com Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:59:56 GMT Sun, 07 Sep 2008 11:59:56 GMT http://backend.userland.com/rss Blog RSS Generator Version 3.3.0.16726 I've only considered myself a professional designer for about 2 years now. (Those private lessons in 4th grade don't count and nether do that two years of Multimedia in high school). So tapping into new venues and platforms for presenting and discovering new art are still an easter egg hunt for me. At first a former classmate of mine put me on to Deviant Art. A site that I love even though I don't receive a whole lot of attention. Then there was Uber that I just fell on and VOX. But then something new happened and I received an e-mail to Talent Database and was even featured as an artist for about a week. I thought that was nice but then I realized that it was an upstart and they wanted to use my excitedness to tell my friends and invite to hits to the site and check me out. But soon I found out they were pitting people against each other in like some type of popularity contest type deal that I just wasn't with. And Uber was oversaturated with recording industry propaganda and that got old real quick. So here comes JAMUSE and it seems like a pretty cool site. Same way I approached for the Talent Database but even cooler this time I was asked to participate before the mass public was invited. Now I feel special. Not only that but uploading my work and navigating through the site is really easy and I can see the minds Apple and Microsoft putting in work here. I can't say that JAMUSE will take the place of my Deviant profile but you never know. I feel that the work that I've seen here will definitely help me to improve my eye as a young designer and cleanliness of my work and it probably be a great source for inspiration and feedback. I'll try anything once because hey, If there are 100 platforms for presenting your work... PRESENT YOUR WORK ON 100 PLATFORMS! Never know who's watching. http://www.jamuse.com/Home/Blogs/tabid/55/EntryID/110/Default.aspx allen@allenwalkerdesign.com http://www.jamuse.com/Home/Blogs/tabid/55/EntryID/110/Default.aspx#Comments http://www.jamuse.com/Default.aspx?tabid=55&EntryID=110 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:47:22 GMT 0 http://www.jamuse.com/DesktopModules/Blog/Trackback.aspx?id=110
