The Final Stroke
As the second Leg of our I media program winds down I’m being encouraged to reflect on what I have taken away from this course. The main thing that I have taken away from this course is a newly found intense passion for design. I never though that I would be solid at design given my other interests, In truth I don’t think anyone would have pegged this gym rat as a potentially strong designer, however that’s exactly what I think I have turned out to be. I have amazed myself with the strides I have made and I think I have even impressed my peers and my instructor on several occasions. I have made a career of under achieving and design has offered me a venue in which I actually take pride in my work. On the occasion that I submitted work that I felt could have been better I was embarrassed and frustrated and those frustrations pushed me to work even harder on my next project. I have put together a body of work that I feel that I can be proud of and I will strive to work even harder in the future. Design has crept into all facets of my life; every poster I see I find my self-wondering, how did they do that? And then going through the process in my head and try to emulate elements I like in my own work. This course has been a blast! I’ll keep working to be the best designer I can be, but I will remember my humble beginnings and how this course helped lay the ground work for the rest of my life. Thanks Phill!
Cheers,
