After 14 months of unemployemnt and about 10 months of hard job searching (during a pandemic) -- I finally found FT work as an Art Director. Its been a damn long road filled with lots of self doubt but the grind paid off.
If you are in a similar spot looking for FT work, keep at it and push through. Things may seem super bleak but the goal at the end of the road is worth the struggle.
Keep grinding, y'all!

Coronavirus
Amazing that almost 12 months later this thread is still riddled with posts smuggly throwing out cherry picked data, conspiracy theories and arm-chair analysis. Didn't realise this was a scientific forum full of epidemiologists.
I get peoples frustration.... but you do wonder what it'd take for some to just admit we're in a pandemic.
"People who believe COVID-19 conspiracy theories tend to struggle with scientific reasoning, study finds"

- it's amazing that 12 months later people still believe in the fear induced by mathematical MODELS despite the fact that REAL data proves otherwise.pr2
- Covid-19 Is not a conspiracy theory.
But as soon you ask questions about it, you become a conspiracy theorists.ApeRobot - Half a million dead Americans. pr2. Half a million. That’s more covid deaths this year than ever before.monospaced
- 3 million died last year, and i never saw you freaking out mono.pr2
- Nope. No covid deaths in 2019. Wrong again.monospaced
- Um... So you only freak out over covid deaths? The rest are all cool with you?pr2
- “It doesn’t even exist” is the one that baffles me the most.Ianbolton
- pr2, a terrorist kills 30 people and we lose our shit, a plane crashes killing a few hundred and we ground entire fleets, what do you mean we don't freak out?_niko
- we're still in the midst of it, we can't comprehend a number so large (would have been 6x bigger with inactivity) but when the dust settles the gravity of it_niko
- hits us, then we'll finally understand the true horrors of this pandemic._niko
- niko, this is the skewed way we perceive reality and how the news enhances this misconception. 9/11 happens every month in car crash mortality. So?pr2

- Is how we attempt to deal with road accidents. What other false equivalencies are on your mind pr2?inteliboy
- So is not coming to the office when sick, covering your mouth when you sneeze and wash your hands when "under the weather."pr2
- We and our bodies dealt with viruses since the beginning of civilization. This one is relatively trivial based on HARD data - not some math models.pr2

FUCK ADOBE!
So this sucks...
January 2023: Adobe applications will not recognize the presence of Type 1 fonts, even if you have Type 1 fonts installed in your desktop operating system.
https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb…
Does anybody have a good conversion tool they would recommend?
- Someone going to make a boat-load of money converting and or selling modified Type 1 fonts to conform with Adobe's 2023 New World Order initiative.utopian
- Oh crapGnash
- how and why are you still even using type 1 fonts?doesnotexist
- I’ve been doing this a long time. My font library is massive, and many of my archived jobs use t1Gnash
- Why could they not just grandfather in Type 1?hardhat
- i have a massive archive as well, and honestly i'm over it. fonts are dumb. it doesn't matter. nothing matters. [sign out]doesnotexist
- bummer... unfortunately most of the younger designers i work with use google fonts or dafont anyway. just sucks cuz my library of fonts has saved me a few timesjonny_quest_lives
- might have to buy an open type avant garde nowjonny_quest_lives
- i was joking with dafont btw... mostly google fonts and adobe typekit fonts are what get passed around work nowadays.jonny_quest_lives
- clients tend to pucker when you discuss licensing fonts for end usage so commercial free to use out the box it is for nowjonny_quest_lives
- But those don't work on Mac anyway, right?grafician
- All fonts work on Macs.monospaced

Imagine lying on a meadow in front of Minneapolis international airport, listening to trance music, smoking a cigarette.
What sounds somewhat unreal, was me. Back in September 1995.
Just had a flashback listening to the mix I heard back then.
- 95? it was like 10 years ago, right?brt44

Simon should have his own thread.
Keep his art separated from all that pedo stuff going on on COTD.I rarely check that thread but I like to see Simon's work once in a while...okay I could check his website but I honestly think he shouldn't be posting in that thread.
He saves it sometimes it's true...
Just a thought.
- hear hearspl33nidoru
- Or just post it in Show some recent work like the rest.palimpsest

What are you listening to?
I've heard and loved this song for most of my life.
Only just now realised it's Brian Eno.
