CSUN SAGA Panel Discussion

Last Tuesday, CSUN's SAGA club had a 3 guest speakers come to talk about their careers after CSUN. The first speaker was designer for phone apps and websites. She gave great advice to give that she wish she had done when she was a student. A few of my favorite are:

• Be a sponge, get inspired by everything!
• Learn as much as you can in school.
• Have a mentor
• Find a creative outlet outside of graphic design

The 2nd speaker worked with keynote art making movie posters. He worked on movies such as my favorite Jackass 3. The fact that he was able to work with anything related with cinema was facsinating. But he stressed so much on how hard you have to work.

The 3rd speaker was a freelance designer, mainly creating fliers and anything promotional to the event he was designing for. He talked about his clients and how he managed his time. 

The designers made me worry because all three kept bringing up the down side to becoming a designer. Such as working long hours, multi-tasking, and getting no sleep. I really wished that the guest speakers chosen were not alumni's that graduated from the same year. I really wanted to hear from someone who worked 10 years in the industry.

without the Owens river and the LA aquaduct, LA would NOT be the city it is today.

Rich and poor live so close together.
