Tonight is the night for..... deisgn home work :/

Tonigth was hallmark symposium, and i have to say i really enjoyed going. It was enlightening to hear the storyies of the two ladies journeys through college and then into the job market. its daunting. I feel like i felt as a freshman in high school thinking about what i wanted to major in. i am still not sure what exactly i want to be, or do. its a big world and i want a piece of it, but how do you do that? for the two that spoke tonight it seemed like it all just fell into their laps. If i may be honest witth the people who do not read this blogg, i do not feel i am creative enough to be in the design world. i usually dove tail off of everyone elses ideas. not a good way ot live. :/ oh well i am finishing up my process book tonight and thinking to myself i wish that when this year draws to a close i will be able to see that i have made progress, i cannot see it yet. to dribbling....

PROCESS BOOK START

As the first part of our process book we were told to write a response on the design project as a whole. This project challenged me. Never before have I done so many different different sketches on one subject. I dont think i am alone is saying that I began to get fed up with drawing the same object over and over. It was tedious to say the least, but I can see the value of the intense designing. After taking hours and hours to study my object, a skateboard truck i found a couple different things. the first being that after so much study of one single object i could draw it in my sleep. i know where to put each line and how to depict the shadows. I think the concept of studying one single object taught me the value of focusing. I believe the same might be true for any object, so studying helps rendering. Second I found that by forcing myself to continue looking at my project I began to see it in new ways. the quantity of different sketches helped me to find new ways to represent my original idea. I was forced to step outside of my comfort zone and develop new alternative means of creating. I can now see that the project as a whole has challenged my abilities and my creative mind. It has forced me to expand my horizons  and taught me how to look for new ways of representation in the future.
