Drawing Turkeys

New intern from Singapore reporting in for blogging duty.

I'm being given lots of freedom on writing on the company blog, nad now I don't really know where to start. Let's begin by explaining my current job scope.

For now, I'll be in charge of designs for the company. If you've paid attention to the recent GetQuik logo on the invoices, you would've noticed a New Year's theme to it. That's pretty much my job scope right now. It's fun trying to add some flavor to the usual orange-blue default, but it could get frustrating sometimes when inspiration just refuses to hit. Or when ideas don't materialize the way I want it.

My next task is to design logos for all the festivals in the US, and I have to rely heavily on my stereotypical view of the local festivity. Halloween (pumpkins and bats?) is done for now and I'm currently working on Thanksgiving (turkeys and pies?). Drawing vector designs with a notebook touch pad is a real pain. I doubt it'd be any simpler with a mouse though. That's a great excuse to save up for a Wacom tablet. So for now I'll be using my touch pad.


For drawing turkeys.
