P. Ben May – Words of…Something

Another project is completed for my design class. I procrastinated this one way too long. It all worked out though, here is the finished product.

Since this is my last semester at school I decided to take a fun design course to help me finish. Part of the course is photography, which is something I haven’t known much about. After playing with the settings on my Canon Power Shot, I headed out and starting taking picture. The final product of the project is a slide show which I placed on my class website.

And to end things off here, here are some photos I liked the most:

Since this is my last semester in my bachelors program, I decided to take a fun class, one that will help my creative portfolio.

This first project is one that was created to introduce myself to the class. We needed to create a collage using pictures that I took personally. So I took two pictures, one of me and one of a old brick wall. Then to show things that I like and am interested in, I created signs to put on the wall.

I had a lot of fun with this.

Everyone knows that the economy isn’t doing so great right now, and that really does not bode well for me since I’m trying to enter the marketing world. I am getting ready to graduate this summer and things still aren’t looking up for me.

I know there are companies that are still hiring. There are always jobs up for grabs out there, but the key is knowing where to find them. When it comes down to it, it’s who you know. I had a friend tell me recently that companies are rarely looking at all the resumés they are being sent since there are so many of them. Instead they are looking for referrals from people inside the company. I know many people out in the world, but not a whole lot of them work in the field that I’m wanting to enter.

This Thursday there is a career fair here at BYU-Idaho. I have been working on perfecting my resumé, getting my siblings to review it and spell check for me. Generally there are lots of companies that come to this event, many of which are looking for perspective interns and new hires. Will it be the same this year with the economy the way it is? Who knows. All I know is that I’m going to be there as much as I can, talking and interacting with all the reps.

At any rate, here’s to hoping.
