My part-time jobs

Currently, I have three different kind of part-time job. I work as a school bus and travel service management, freelance graphic designer and freelance beautician.

My first and the longest part-time job are school bus and travel service management. I use to have a stable part-time job in my dad company. My dad company provides school bus and travel service. I started working as a part-time secretarial and assistance in my dad company since I graduated my form five and until now, I still working in my dad company.

How about freelance graphic designer? Although I’m not a very professional graphic designer, but do I consider a freelance graphic designer? I love graphic design. And I’m interested in graphic design. Few years ago I had designed few business card and poster for my relative business. And last year, I had a group project, my classmate and I created a campaign call Dance Safe. And I designed Dance Safe logo, teaser, ticket, newsletter, registration form, souvenir book and banner. In June 2007, my aunt planned to open a beauty and health center called D’ Esprit. She asked me to help her to design her company logo, banner, buntings, name card, flyers, brochure and voucher, and she will pay me for the design. So do I consider a freelance graphic designer?

Recently, I have another part-time job, and I just started this month. Every weekend, Saturday and Sunday I work as a beautician in D’ Esprit Beauty & Health Esthetic. D’ Esprit provides many different kind of beauty and health service, such as facial treatment, eyelashes perming, embroidery, ear candling treatment, body treatment, waxing, nails, make-up and many more.

Anyway, I had three different kind of part-time job. I work as a school bus and travel service management, because it’s a family business and it’s may become my permanent job once I graduated my degree. How about my freelance graphic designer and beautician, I enjoy doing it, because I’m interested.

Definition of Graphic Design

The word Graphic Design can refer to a number of artistic, creative, imaginative and professional disciplines which focus on visual communication and presentation. Various methods are used to create and combine symbols, images or words to create a visual representation of ideas and messages. A graphic designer may use typography, visual arts and page layout techniques in varying degrees to produce the final result of the project. Graphic design often refers to both the process (designing) by which the communication is created and the products (designs) which are generated.

Common uses of graphic design include magazines, advertisements, product packaging and web design. For example, a product package might include a logo or other artwork, organized text and pure design elements such as shapes and color which unify the piece. Composition is one of the most important features of graphic design especially when utilizing pre-existing materials or using various elements.

My blog

Finally, I have my own blog. This is my first blog and the only blog I have. I’m not a good blogger, and I’m not a good writer. I didn’t own a blog before, but I had read other people blogs. By reading other people blogs, I can gain some useful information, enjoy humorous story, observe personal struggles or personal achievements and so on.

In my opinion, a blog is more than an online journal or writings. Nowadays, blogs are important communication tools. Anyone can blog. There are so many personal blogs and business blogs, or even political blogs can be found from the internet. Moreover, through blogs, we can keep in touch with our friends and family’s.

In my blog, I will express my feeling and my creativity. I will share my thought, my design and my experience. Besides that, I will share some interesting news and useful information. Moreover, I will upload picture and share some interesting image.

Anyway, blog is a wonderful communication tools. Whether you are a writer, a poet, a comedian, a designer or an artist or who ever you are, you will have an outlet through blogging. In fact, blogs make it easier to reach more people. Whether you are a blogger or a blog reader, you are sure to agree, blogs are an enjoyable way to learn about the world around us.
