After studying for just one semester I am already noticing big changes in the way I perceive the world around me. When going to the movies, playing video games and traveling, I am no longer a passive observer, but an active participator. The font faces speak to me about their purpose (or lack of it), and a beautiful kaleidoscope of colors and textures inspires unborn designs to come into shape.
I think observation and self reflection is so important, that I am even making a New Years resolution to blog every month about 5 things that inspired me and I think worked well, and 5 things that I see as needing improvement.
So here are my resolutions:
- Blog monthly about "the good, the bad and the ugly" of the world around
- Draw!!! It's so important for a designer to have solid hand-rendering skills. Plus, as I said in my first ever post, it develops the right side of the brain
- Wear colorful clothes; put that color theory knowledge into practice
- Eat a serving of spirulina at least every other day
- Master Textpattern
