Can anyone provide some info on working at Vincent James office in Minneapolis. ei. office environment, mentorship, level of difficulty getting a job there etc.
Well I assume that if you are a member of this website community based on exchanging information and ideas then maybe you would be interested in answering a question.
darth - you asked a question without providing any personal info as to what you are seeking. give us something more to chew on - that's how this community works.
Or keep up the heavy breathing and we'll just post references about anakin ;)
The work speaks for itself, they're obviously a very disciplined office. It's hard to get in the door, as with most firms run by those in academia, they tend to pick from their student base. In this case that's Harvard and U of Minnesota. There are excpetions to this, of course, but it's a harder path for an "outsider." Definitely worth trying for though.
i have a theory that as a designer, having two first (or two last) names as your full name grants you instant coolness and will give you an instant jump in the field. likewise, having a banal name will work in the opposite direction.
you don't hear of any famous jim browns or bob smiths
unfortunately i think i'm screwed myself, as i am cursed with this theory (thanks, mom and dad)....
cynic, i think the name's primary effect is on your own attitude. i've never believed i have a particularly designerly name, unfortunately. i wish i thought you were wrong.
If you google vincent james some crazy shit come up. Scott Baio's middle names are VINCENT JAMES! and have you seen the list of his ex-girlfriends. Well done Chachy, very well done. He really was in charge.

I am always suspect of two first names. James Vincent
