Freelancing often allows for a diverse range of projects and clients, which can provide exposure to different industries and experiences.
  • Minuses: Responsible for finding and securing their own clients, which can involve significant marketing and networking efforts. Income can be irregular and uncertain, and freelancers often have to handle administrative tasks like invoicing and taxes on their own. Freelancers may also face challenges in maintaining a stable income and finding new clients consistently.

There may be limited opportunities for career advancement or job security compared to full-time positions. Part-time work may also result in a lower overall income due to reduced hours.

Contractors may not receive the same level of job security or access to benefits like health insurance and paid time off.

• Full-time:
  • Pluses: Typically provides stability, a steady income, and comprehensive benefits packages, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. It often offers more opportunities for career advancement, professional development, and job security. Full-time employees may also benefit from a structured work environment and a sense of belonging to a team or organization.

Some individuals may find the routine nature of full-time employment limiting or less suitable for their lifestyle preferences.

I generally prefer to have a more flexible schedule so I’d like to seek roles that allow for that. I plan to keep my living expenses as low as possible to allow for more flexibility and experimentation, which I hope would ultimately allow for a variety of work experiences. Then I’d be given the ability to refine to what works best for my personal goals, values and longterm needs as a designer.

The color palette highlights both the location and the music festival: the blue and purple hues are on the Coachella Music Festival poster and the nude/tan represents the desert location. I think it stands out from a typical hockey jersey by using more subdued earthy tones rather than highly saturated colors. I did incorporate the standard pop of color on the key elements of Firebird jersey, the orange/black logos and numbers.
