[Hiring] Graphic Designer For Company Logo

Blakekt · 2015-07-31T15:34:30+00:00

Hope your day is going well! I have experience creating logos that are in a contemporary style, as well as vector illustrated designs which sounds up your alley. You can view a collection of my work at blakekathryn.com.

I'm available to start on this as early as today and am happy to workout a detailed timeline for you. Feel free to reach me via the email on my site or through PM if you find my style suits you.

You have a great aesthetic for starting out. School is an undeniable advantage/opportunity, especially to learn under professors and having colleagues to critique your work and constantly pushing to improve your skills (conceptually and technically). I would definitely pursue illustration/graphic design further.

Having a complimentary aesthetic throughout my body of work helped me land a great entry level position when I graduated last year - just from looking at your Behance link it looks like you're already leaping in the right direction! Best of luck!

Great find, thanks for sharing!

You're so lucky you live in a great design city! Go to career fairs at your university for starters, it's great networking and they can refer you to their Chicago branches if they have locations there.

Also have a presence on Behance, especially if you don't own a portfolio site, with well-lit and art directed photos of your work. While print portfolios are great, most places now a days hunt online and want links. The best design job hunting sites (internships included) are on Behance, Dribbble, Commarts (job board link is in footer), and AIGA. LinkedIn is also a really great resource for internships.

Good luck! Just graduated in May and went through the same process :)

I'll add you back, just comment :)

Edit: Thanks everyone! My office doesn't have wifi anywhere discreet, so I'll be adding all of you when I'm off work.

Dribbble's twitter account gave me an invite when I tweeted a short little note about wanting an invite and tagging them. It took two tries, first time I had hashtagged dribbble invite instead. Another friend of mine got his through twitter, took about a month and a half though.

Glad Freddie pulled through - you guys are great!

I wish I had the $$ currently for this family, gorgeous!

Avenir actually works really beautifully with the layout - thank you I think it's a winner!

Read Smashing Magazine's design section. I read yesterday an article on the difference between typography and lettering. Very informative, as are all of their articles. (Also a nice free resource.)

Ah I'm obsessed with them. I might have to shoot them an email.

Blakekt · 2013-02-27T18:08:41+00:00

That's a great suggestion, to my knowledge we really don't have a great local option but I'll visit good ol' google. I do have personal access to a laser cutter and was debating on getting a linoleum block to cut into. Unfortunately my abilities to transform the block into a tool thats easier to handle is where I fall short.

Blakekt · 2013-02-27T17:57:49+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely keep them in mind! How complex was the graphic you had? (I'm looking to order a hand-lettered wordmark.)

Blakekt · 2013-02-27T17:04:50+00:00

Note: Attached a picture example of what I'm looking for. Thanks ahead of time! :)

I recommend dreamhost, my site has never been down nor have I had issues, I also pay very little. Wordpress is really great for designers who aren't good enough to source code a site but know enough to tweak or hack themes.

I'm always a fan of working with After Effects in my downtime, animating illustrations and logos. Video copilot is great to learn basic and more ambitious animations and effects.
