Creating my mood board for Pet Cube, I focused on natural lighting, plants, friendly interactions between pet and owner, and sleek interior design. I intend to create a friendly and inviting tone in depicting interior spaces by balancing the warm tones of wood and sunlight with white and cool tones. Additionally, because the product is high-tech, I see the gradient tones being used in graphic design elements to capture the innovative nature of the work.
The following are my insights about differences between different forms of graphic design employment:
Fulltime: Strengths include potential for health insurance/benefits, employment longevity, stability. Weaknesses include commitment, somewhat less flexibility, could take longer to find work.
Part-time: Strengths include potential for multiple positions, flexibility. Weaknesses are that benefits are less likely, usually doesn’t cover cost of living.
Freelance: Strengths include flexibility, high earning potential, less commitment. Weaknesses include lack of benefits, instability, ebb and flow of income.
Staffing Agency: Strengths include it’s quicker to find work, helps avoid gaps in employment, assists in job search. Weaknesses include the agency taking some of the pay.
