This week is a short week. We had our critique over our latest design ideas, along with our creative briefs. I've learn that my briefs was standard and that my idea were annoying my classmate's sense of aesthetic. It was a helpful criticism, but rather vague. Later in class,however, we voted on the strongest image. Naturally, the strongest was not mine, that honor belong to Christ's piece of the evolution from monkey intern to C.E.O. However, my golden eagle constructed of word was strong enough to be on the ballot. Jimmy then asked us why most of us didn't vote on our own piece? He then answered if you do not believe that your own piece is strong and valid, then why would anyone give a rat's @$$!? (not his exact words, but you get the idea).
It is hard to decide what to make of his statement. On the one hand, why not choose your piece. Why not favor yours over the others, but one the other hand do you look foolish or arrogant in doing so? mostly, because if your peice is not strong, then where is the point in voting on it. I suppose its a matter of picking your battles. Choosing your words carefully, design well, and witha passion.
the last thing we did in class was listen to a story, and vissualize what we see by the end of the story. In my case I saw nothing but darkness. A place, in which I been finding myself. Lastly Jimmy Handed Us our final for the class (lousy timing). Its been a a long 9 weeks since we first step into that ghetto shaped class. Now the pressure is on, as we face finals.
Good Luck and stand strong comrades.
