Oh Muse! The causes and the crimes relate, blah blah blah… I think that translates alright, but my latin is a bit out of practice.
This is really all that comes to mine when I hear the word “muse.” As far as visual aesthetics goes, well I cannot say that I have completely changed how I view the things around me. I do notice that I have become more critical of everything, which is both good and bad.
I cannot really enjoy in any way related to design at face value anymore, and it has been like this for a long time. There is so much that goes into studying something like this that it just doesn’t go away because I want to. It helps keep me aware of design trends and overall it can peak my curiosity as a visual learner. If I see something cool, I definitely will research how to do it on my own, or at least how to do something similar. I want to be able to stretch my ability as to not lock myself in a particular style. There are definitely trends that I lean toward, but that is more to just get my thoughts out.
On the other hand, I hate not being able to just enjoy something. There is too much going on in my head from my 23 years of life (which is not a lot in my opinion) that is so close to what interests me and fascinates me to let something just exist as a creation that I can enjoy without critique. At times I am able to suspend this thoughts, but only in the sense of censoring myself when around others.
Careers are rare and plentiful in todays world. Yes that is somewhat contradictory. From my point of view it is great for someone in my position to be critical of everything when going into a career as a designer or videographer. It makes me driven enough to go the extra step when someone does not like what I do. I by no means want to please everyone with my work, but I always want to be better than yesterday. There are so many options as far as what career I can gravitate toward, and I look forward to where mine will take me.
