It's been a while

The image above is of me playing around with the effects on adobe photo booth.
This is also exactly how I have been for the past few months. I have been feeling very uncreative. I have been doodling and drawing things pleasing to me but nothing of particular relevance to my University projects, especially with the end of the final term looming over the horizon.

So for the past four days I have only allowed my self one night of sleep. Yes I have been forcing myself. But not just working I have been revisiting my influences from college such as Ufho.com, Dave Foldvari and Bigactive, and just generally bouncing around from site to site trying to find something along the lines of the stuff I do.

My main issue I have been having with work (why I have been revisiting things) is because I am trying to come up with an identity for myself. I mean I have had one but wasn't really that good. Really it wasn't.

Money was also an issue. How anyone lives on minimum wage is a mystery to me but the I have been in higher education for 8 years and not even scratched the surface of real life. Here I am rambling and need to get to the point.

Well now I have an idea of what, where I am. Question is I am still stuck on how to project my self (probably not the right word).

Some help would be much appreciated. Links to sites that showcase what others have done, explain methods. I know of Red Lemon and they have really helped. But only with motivation. What I wanna see is ideas for promotion packs, idents, business cards.

If anyone can send me a link I would be much obliged. Oh! And again, sorry for the self indulgent essay on me.
