August 27, 2008 : Yes I totally did just call myself an Idiot, let the fan mail pour in!
Dear Readers,
Not much going on here in design land, just got some web stories and updates ready for the DST website today. When you think of me, don’t just think of minimates boxes and previews ads, no, think of every little cool graphic you see on the website and cry tears of artistic love for me. A lot of people just assume I make toys, I guess they think I am a sculptor, which I am, but that’s not what my job title is nor is it what I get paid for. I think it’s a hard thing to describe to people but now that you’re getting to know all of us it’s something you should think about. We design way more than just the boxes and ads, we do web stuff, figure corrections, sale sheets, animations, marketing stuff like cue balls and t-shirts for the trade shows, the little cards that hold the bag together on the giveaway figures, everything, blogs, even 100 foot banners! So please, when you think of DST designers think of us as the idiot savants of DST, because we can do it all!
Idiotically savanting my way to the top,
DST-Jen
