A Minor Announcement (or: Why Cats Cling To Ceilings)

#1

Post by Denim »

Many of you will be unaware of this, but I'm in the final stages of launching my own design company. This came after a period of frustration involving prospective employers not meeting MY standards. The cycle of requiring experience before getting hired, but being unable to gain experience for the same reason plagued me as it did others.

The person solely responsible for inspiring me to go out and do this alone is my wonderful mate, Baker, without whom I would feel lost 3: I love you, husky.

Okay, moving along, a little bit about the company.

Hydra Media CC would be primarily interested in small and medium business owners with an interest in building their brand. I ("We can" in the event I hire other at a later stage) offer a range of services including vital marketing tools that would be custom designed to suit each and every client including websites, corporate identity runs that incorporate corporate face designs and integrate them into all the necessary elements of business dealings. Everything from the most humble logo all the way up to 3D animation and post-production, all elements of digital modern media are available to help others grow their businesses while I grow my own.

Okay, that turned out to be more of a rant than an announcement. Sorry about that.

Good luck with your business and hopefully it is a successful business in the future! I wish I could apply for a job, but I am on the wrong side of the globe at the moment!!

As is stands I'm starting this company from absolutely nothing. My last client, once payment from him is received, will be funding the initial startup costs and the first minor advertising run.

I won't borrow money and I don't believe that I need any to get this going. Once I can afford the monthly hosting costs I'll look into a website, but I've already discussed with Razor what he's going to need to do for me regarding the programming and technical stuff.

Right now the focus is on spreading the name around like light margarine on very hot toast.

Great idea denim. I hope that goes damn well for you!

Well, I've just graduated a week ago, so I'm officially a Multimedia Technologist ^..^ maybe I could do some freelance work for you now and then? Not sure about full time, as I'm trying to get work from a variety of sources and fields.

Websites make decent cash. ^..^

I'm also trying my best to create very close ties in the Centurion market, where I live. So I'm at their mercy regarding what they might need.

I might be able to hire you, sure, but I'm also a qualified designer, remember? ;)

Websites can make a lot of cash and I have Garth to do my programming for me. The problem with websites is that .... You kinda' feel bad taking so much money, because it's not REALLY that much work. At least not from my perspective. From that of a web app developer or maintenance people who fiddle with code then it's a big deal. But I'm just the guy who makes it look more focused and pretty :p
