The long slog

Creativity, I’m looking forward to that. My well is very dry at the moment, work has been unremitting, I have had freelance, and two design classes this semester. I like what I do but it has been too much of a good thing here lately. My approach is to just hunker down and do it whether I think it is really good or not. It is the only way I know how to this much work done.

Super creative geniuses describe being almost pulled along by an idea, being unable to stop. I have felt this at odd times, but I cannot count on it in the day-to-day.

I went to Sagmeister’s website and it is safe to say that he is one of those creative super geniuses I love this work showing in a playful way what our national priorities have been and how they might improve.

As far as this program is concerned, what has surprised me the most is how much I got out the writing classes. I would really like to find a good reading group, if any of you know of one.

Here is a video you all may have seen but it was new to me. A good response to “what is graphic design” I like the ending, after 12-14 hours staring at a computer screen, my eyes feel as if they have been looking at the sun…
