Edinburgh, is awesome


I've been out of the loop. Traveling is awesome, and Edinburgh is so far my favorite city in the mini version of the world that I've seen. It's very difficult to stay in the design loop, whilst backpacking around with non-designer/creatives. But. When I ran into this A6 flyer/poster on the streets of Old Town in Edinburgh, it injected we with some new vigor.

Well... I'm back in London, looking for work, working on my portfolio/book. The economy sucks right now, and with the whole fact that 70% of advertising jobs go unadvertised (go figure) it makes it really hard to find work for a creative who isn't part of the "design culture" of a city. But I'll keep going. Hopefully I find something/anything soon.

Hi Chris,

Nice blog you have here, just spotted it on Gary Payn's blogroll. I too am a creative, freshly back from a year in London. I can offer you empathy. The creative job market in the big smoke is fierce and the grey skies don't help either. Hang in there mate. The right opportunities do eventually present themselves. I'll be sure to check back in on your posts.
