This year, I’ve been trying to expand outside of my 9-6 job and do some freelance work/side project fun. One thing that is a “practice what you preach” for me involves sending out emails to people and/or companies and inquire about any sort of freelance or submissions. At the end of the day, what do you have to lose? It never hurts asking even if these people and companies aren’t looking for extra or outside help.
So I came across a “help wanted” Insta post for a pin company and I thought, “hey, yolo”. After some back and forth and some test designs, it ended up being a bust which is a bummer, but these things happen. Companies knows their aesthetic and what their customer wants. I guess I was right at the border but couldn’t fully cross over the line to what they were looking for.
So since there was nothing for me to sign about who owns the rights to my test art, I guess it’s mine and I can do whatever I want with them, right?
I turned to redbubble for this design because I did like the outcome of this one.
I went with an 80’s theme, especially since I’m almost done binge watching the 80’s TV series Moonlighting. The colors of the 80’s in the office setting are SO strong here. The mauves, dusty pinks, and greys are everywhere, and I never thought I’d love it so much.
Aside from the design, I appreciate the 80’s for all the boss ladies that stepped up and filled up the work place.
And to represent working women, I put up this design available for sale. Kudos to all the working ladies.
