Porn To Work
As a person who is currently looking for work as a graphic designer I like to keep my options open. One of the things I’ve considered doing to further my career is to move into the Adult Entertainment Industry. Don’t worry , you certainly won’t see my modeling or acting in any movies any time soon. You see for every movie or website produced there’s an army of people who handle the sort of tasks you wouldn’t typically associate with the adult industry; be they cameramen, set builders, lighting, catering, etc. In my case being a graphic designer because for every porn DVD out there, there’s some guy sitting behind a computer laying up the sleeve in QuarkXpress or Indesign. I should be that guy. I feel that my artistic sensibilies could turn the adult design world on end because the current crop of them are certainly lacking. There’s no balance, no creative use of colour, and far too many drop shadows and lens flares. Obviously there is a product to be sold and there are confines that you do have to work within but I think I could excel given the chance.
With that in mind I went searching for such opportunties on the internet. One of the more interesting sites I found was Adult Staffing. Most of the jobs on there are for models and phone entertainers but there is a significant calling for skilled graphic design professionals such as myself. After all, it is a billion dollar industry and last year alone 11000 titles were released on DVD. The adult industry is and will continue to thrive. Why should I forego an opportunity like that?

Once upon a time, I spend about 3 days downloading “The Grudge” with Bearshare… It turned out to be “Latinas Gone Wild.”
I mean, I wouldn’t have been THAT annoyed, but it wasn’t even high quality porn. That should be fixed.
Go get’em, Eric, you Go-getter.

Hey, just remember to put in a good word for me as well. I mean I am keeping an eye out at my work.
It is really hard to write about jobs without using the words “positions” or “openings”

[…] But wait, there’s more…Last year when I was looking for work (still am, by the way), I made a half-hearted look at getting a job in the adult film industry. I was looking for something behind the scenes as a graphic artist. If you’re looking for something in front of the camera then this website Question and Answer section has pretty much most of the answers for you. From the website: 15) Is being a Porn Star like being a mainstream Hollywood actor? NO! But that’s not hard to figure out. There’s more money and respect given to mainstream actors. Even a porn “superstar” remains largely unknown to the masses, but as a porn star you get recognized by people here and there who think what you do is really cool and want to meet you, or to ask you about porn, or how to become a porn actor/actress themselves. And there are times when porn stars get special treatment because of who they are… especially the girls –> […]
