Day 10



Thoughts:
  • image and type are better mixed intuitively, without thinking too hard
  • it's hard to not think too hard
  • Dorian loves the 90s
Class notes:
  • my studies could use more structure, or decisiveness - my goose is too loose and things are fairly ambiguous throughout (esp. the one with the boy's photograph)
  • the x-ray study was the champion today (Dorian loves the 90s), a little tweaking will give it just what it needs
  • the textured one (up top) is something Dorian was digging, but it's got a little bit too much going on ~ also ambiguous, though the visual elements could definitely be working well if I chopped em up a bit, sautéed em, and seasoned it
just a few examples, there

After thoughts:
  • sometimes working at 3am, and not being capable of really thinking straight pays off (in design at least)
  • but that suffices for merely "ok" foundations to build something more structured on after you've gotten a good meal and a full night's sleep
  • the madness needs a method, and the chaos needs some structure

The TED talk we watched was about getting what you give in design. Your success is intimately related to how much time you put into your work.
