Deliciously satisfactory.
So I got a job interview at a marketing firm, and they've asked me to bring hard copy samples of my web work. Now I can understand bringing in hard copies of print, illustration, and photo work, but this is kind of a first. So far my attempts at getting decent looking reflections of what I see on my screen, versus what gets printed out has been pretty fruitless. If the lines and text aren't crisp, then the colors look off, and vice-versa.

Is there some kind of guide out there for this sort of thing, or should I just go to Kinkos?

Edit: I'm sure they'll understand the reasons for differences in the printed versions versus the online versions, but you know "best foot forward" and all that crap.

I have a job interview this afternoon for a Web Marketing Assistant. While I managed to glean a lot from the job description and looking around online (a lot of SEO, search engine reports, and other fun ranking stuff), I was wondering if anyone has worked in Web Marketing and can give me a personalized run down of what's involved.

Edit: To give you more information, I'm coming from a front-end development background, and this will be a position at a design and marketing firm. Not working in-house to expand an already established brand.

My brother went through the programming course, he's currently working at Neversoft and bringing in a pretty drat good salary.

He busted his rear end though, it's a really fast-paced program and not hard to fall behind in. You're basically doing the equivalent of a four-year degree in two and a half years or so, the school's open 24 hours a day and your classes rotate on a monthly basis. It seemed to work pretty well for him but I remember him complaining afterward that while they said all along they'd help him get a good job after graduation, all the prospects they brought up were fairly lovely, and he couldn't really rely on their career services.

I visited him down there a couple times, the school is perfectly legit, it's expensive as gently caress, but apparently graduates (at least in programming) are fairly sought after from there.

Is Full Sail finally accredited?
