Welcome to 2009! After summing up 2008, and reading Nubby’s post… I got to thinking of my goals for 2009. 2008 brought me a lot of firsts; my first two internships, my first blog, my first dollars made from art/design, my first art show, and designing my first pages in one of my favorite magazines. 2009 will be all about building upon these experiences!

1. Update and redesign my online portfolio.
2. Continue to learn more about editorial and web design. Possibly intern at another magazine?
3. Get up to an average of 5+ posts per week, reach over 150 subscribers, and launch paid adspace on the blog.
4. Have my first solo art show.
5. Sell 5 pieces of work on Etsy.
6. Feature more work from students at SVA, Pratt, MassArt and art schools other than Parsons.
7. Build upon new skills I’ve picked up in 2008 like photography, sewing, and printmaking.
8. Submit work to the Society of Publication Designer’s Student Competition.
9. Have a little bit of pointless fun everyday. (This should be easy!)
