Re: Honing your craft

1   1) What ways are you furthering your skills in your spare time?
I like to develop my skills by thinking about concepts. In creative concepts we did a lot of thinking about how to design by being innovative by taking a unique approach to the subject matter. In my spare time I like to think about different concepts for projects and I take my time working though them. Basically I’m assigning myself homework and I give myself a deadline to work though it. Then I will contact a professor usually Professor Gold and ask for feedback that way I understand how my solution works for someone that isn’t me. 

2   2) How has this benefit you as a designer?
I think doing this has opened up the way I think about design. I mean we all look at websites, blogs, pintrest and Bēhance to look at other people designs but this was no matter if it’s at their level of design I am constantly honing my skills. Which will make me a better designer.

     3) Are there any sites you visit that help you sharpen your skills and techniques?
I usually go look at Bēhance and try to recreate things by goggling my life away.

4) Any secret cures for the common cold? :)

I use Oscillococcinum which is a natural cold remedy.
