It has been a while since the last time I updated my blog. Today, I have 10 exciting things to talk about:
1. Edith Chan Design Website Goes Live
I am excited to announce that my website, Edith Chan Design, has officially launched. It has been a long road from planning, design, production, development, to the launch today. With this website, I am able to showcase my artwork, share my design tips, and get freelance projects online. Go ahead and check out my website here!
2. Work From Home
In my last blog, I mentioned about resigning from my part-time job. Well, it turned out that my boss offered me to work from home in order to keep me. So, right now I am working from home. That way, I can secure a stable income but also work on my freelance projects and go to school at my own schedule. It’s like having the best of both worlds.
3. Design Project
In early May, I was fortunately enough to get an identity design project for Southern Post, which is one of the biggest newspapers in South China. You can see detail of the project here.
To be honest, I wasn’t very confident when I first accepted the project, because the timeline given to me to finish the project was very short. I was required to design a logo and a T-shirt in 5 days. However, the project turned out to be very successful. My client loved my design the first time around. No revisions! How about that!
4. Photography
Photography was one of my favorite subjects when I was studying in university. However, because of the high expenses of required equipment, I had to eventually give up on photography.
With the new era of digital camera, I decided to get back to photography and was able to get a DSLR at a very good deal. Moreover, Mason is interested in learning photography too. I expect a lot of photography trips with Mason in the near future. I will publish my photos gallery on my website later. Stay tuned.
5 Badminton Club
I joined a badminton club in early May. Yes, I admit that I barely knew how to play badminton before, but I thought that it would be good to do a sport and interact with other people on a daily basis, and that it could balance my life and remedy the shortcomings of working from home. The good news is that I can play much better now, thanks to the badminton lessons that Jenny gives me.
6. Graduation
I am going to complete my Graphic Design Certificate Program this summer. Frankly speaking, I enrolled into the program with lots of doubts and uncertainties. I am proud that I am able to make it this far.
7. Tuition Subsidy
Macau is giving 1,200 US dollars for its residences who are studying abroad during last year. Well, it’s not a lot of money, but it’s very helpful to a poor student like me.
8. Mexico Trip
Mason and I are traveling to Mexico to celebrate my birthday in early August. I am very excited about this trip because Mexico is famous for beautiful beaches and sunshine, which make it a perfect location for a holiday get-away. We have even bought snorkeling gears and new swimming suits. That’s how much we look forward to going on the trip. By the way, we are thankful that Jenny is willing to take care of Sushi for us during our trip. Sushi has promised that she will be a good girl. Hehe.
9. Home Office
I have been suffering from back pain and shoulder pain for long hours of drawing on computer. Today, I was finally able to get a new office chair that fit me the best. The chair has lumbar padding to support my back and adjustable armrests to support my elbows when I draw on a tablet. I am very happy with my new chair.
10. My Big Day
As you know, my birthday is approaching quickly, don’t forget to get me birthday presents!
