What Do You Guys Work As?

I can see where the stigma of self absorbed snobs in the fashion industry comes from but I really think it's just the competitiveness within the industry. I really don't think it's any different from any other industry, there is bound to be competition in any industry.

with that being said, I wish you the best of luck Dan !

I currently work at a Pizzeria (local, not franchised)
I do EVERYTHING but delivery and make the pizza (I can make pizza, but not so good LOL)
that includes cashier/phone/stock/cook/prepare everything


I'm in school for Visual Merchandising Arts (the science of selling essentially). Basically my it's job to make things pretty and glorify them to make them more likely to sell! (Store fronts/Store displays) My course is very tailored for soft goods (clothes predominantly)

In a nutshell my program is
-Visual Literacy (learning how to entice customers with visuals/graphic design/colour coordination)
-Visual Merchandising Workshop (workshop to build window displays)
-Freehand Drawing (to help illustrate ideas)
-Computer Techniques (using design programs to further illustrate ideas and work on designs)
-Visual Merchandising (theory and history behind Visual Merchandising)
-Fashion and Styling (1 bajillion powerpoints of reviewing outfits of celebrities and learning what goes with what, essentially to know how to dress a mannequin)
-Drafting (store design plans)

That's basically what I'm doing now, BUT I REALLY really want to get into Animation (I took a 1 year ART fundamentals course).

I failed to get in last year ;_;, but I'm hoping I'm able to get in this time, if not I'll continue my studies in Visual Merchandising Arts. In a way VMA is my safety net, and Animation is what I really want to do.

We'll see!
