Definition: “Wall-able”–the goal of all creative content
Earlier this spring, I created an application for a super-exclusive internship. There was one catch–the application requirements consisted solely of the following: “Send in a 4-page PDF–you decide what’s on it, that’s part of the application process.”
After spending many hours thinking about the intersection of the internship and my goals, I decided to create a resume that anyone would find interesting to read, whether or not they hired me.
I want my creative content to be wall-able. Something you post on your fridge, e-mail your friend, and print for your son. Content worth the worlds time.
While I didn’t get the internship, I do have a 4-page PDF that many, many people have enjoyed. (It also landed me some internship opportunities that were even better than the original internship!)
Is your creative content wall-able?
