Spring Blog #4

For this weeks blog assignment we were tasked to create a moodboard for Petcube’s product Bites 2. It is a camera for pet owners to monitor and speak to their pets and also feed them treats. I went with a simple black and white base with concrete textures, modern interiors and images, and adding an inflated texture. The idea is the text will be a pop of color and texture to get it to stand out. Almost the exact opposite of the backgrounds, creating a feeling that those with modern homes can have this product and not clash with anythig around them because of the style of the product, while the fun text resembles the fun pets they have.

Spring Blog 3

This week we were tasked with doing research on the pluses and minuses of working under Contract/Agency work. One of the main differences is the agency handles alot of the dirty work for you. As a freelancer you are essentially on your own, if someone treats you unfairly or pays unfairly and you wish to take legal action that is 100 percent on you. If you want health insurance or any other benefits that is also on you and tends to cost more as an individual than paying through your employer.

I think I would rather be contracted under an agency, especially early on in my career. Build up a reputation and make relationships, then perhaps freelance on the side. I am not one who enjoys the business side of things so if someone can handle that for me at least until I have an understanding of how to do all of that.
