March update....Spring is coming!!

Well, let me share some thoughts with you today... I realize that we need our seasons and I am very thankful that we get winter so that we can have spring, I just wish it didnt take so long to get here. There has been some changes from last post so I wanted to just update every one on the latest news from the front lines; I Ryan have been cut some hours at work and average 4 days a week, I was hoping that the census job that I was hired for would of called me. Instead they shafted me and now I am in the process of filing a complaint. Linda has returned to the work force and is in training from Wed-Sunday at a place called A.C.S. and she is on the phones learning to be a customer service rep for Verizon Wireless. Along with school and house work and life and work she is walking the fine rope of life. This is in regards to getting out of debt and getting the things we want. House, Car, Career, Adoption, etc. I met with my school to find out how many credits or classes I have left; they made some errors and saved me from one whole quarter = less money for me :) - I have 21 classes to go from my Bacholers Degree in Graphic Design, and I can taste it... I am getting so sick of homework, but the classes I have coming up are ones that I am excited in learning about. Such as Business, internship, etc. So It has been a crazy week and we are trying to buy a car in the next couple of weeks as well - just like 1000 dollars is all.. or less. Are schedules are to off whack to have only one.

Well, lets sum up the past couple of weeks... Continued teaching lessons for the retirement in for our calling, I am getting better at conducting. We all got A's for last session and I am currently at a B+ in a class were we are designing a board game for 9-13 girls as a team. I chat online with them and it is in it final stages. Next quarter I am taking 3 classes; Marketing Design, Physiology, Economics. (18 classes left) - Linda is wrapping up her online course and is doing great!!! (English and basic computing)

I am in the mist of applying for scholarships and trying to get some extra funds for school and life. I am also in my next stage of creation mode... basically itching to create new art. Lastly I am putting my idea of owning my own Design Firm. I have decided to hire friends and interns in the next year and be my own boss. I am posting images of my logo, Pickle Productions is now Pickle Designs LLC and will be hiring designers from all over the states to be on my team. If you know any one that is interested please email me. Well take care and hope that life is treating you good and to my sister that might read this - we are thinking of you and prey for a speedy recover.

Pickle Design Collateral pieces: (I have stayed away from using a big pickle in the logo, I wanted the use of color to imply the pickle theme. In branding and logo designing it is like a puzzle and a creation - like the periodical time tables along with the use of the Adobe icons to also imply process much like science, and the real science that goes with the over all design of an Identity. Any ways I hope that made sense. Basically like the cucumber uses science of the brine to change into a new food type to something more and better pickle is now a metaphor of the process of identity; The pickle man is a symbol like bio hazard but has 3 "pickles" creating the face.)
