Reading through your post, I began to think about our Words and Images class and how I constructed my process books throughout the semester.
Being new to the idea of a process book this past semester, I felt it was a great way to brainstorm and develop my ideas and projects from being to end; however, my process seemed to limit me from further exploring different ideas and instead focusing on my main concept and rolling with that. With an accelerated and in-depth class like that with multiple projects overlapping, deadlines and having a full-time job, it was hard to allow myself to explore new directions with a project.
I think it is important to have that type of freedom to really delve into a concept and explore as many aspects as possible to have a more diverse approach to creating the best result that you can. That is definitely something that I hope to develop throughout this program, especially since this seems to be an expectation in the real world.
Some of our classmates who took Words and Images last semester with O'Donnell were able to see his very detailed, very informative process book for one of his projects, and I have to say that the amount of effort, the number of different versions of the idea, and the dedication was very exciting to see in a process book.
That type of focus and concentration on a particular idea and freedom of exploration makes for a successful project.
Shana posted in her response that she is a Pinterest advocate, and I am absolutely the same way. I find that Pinterest helps to get the creative juices flowing and helps to expand my horizon. If it doesn't, it proves to be a great distraction for a few minutes.
