The "Lost Princess" is a tribute to those who died in the Princess Ashika tragedy.

Today’s Gratitude Item: Getting feedback after applying for a job and not getting it! I replied to the person who sent through the “thanks, but no thanks” email asking them a series of questions to improve my chances next time around. They were super quick in their response and it was very useful seeing the process from their perspective. With that thought in mind, I rejigged my Design Portfolio to make it more eye-catching. There’s a fair bit of action on the second page of said portfolio and hopefully the changes help. Originally it was all hyperlinks to .pdf files which, in retrospect was a really dumb idea. When 70 designers apply for one job, the person wading through portfolios does not have time to click on hyperlinks! Next job will be to fix up my my CV. The current version has a number of issues, such as the colour, background and the fact that it is totally forgettable and does not show case my skills effectively. If anyone out there has sage advice, feel free to share!
