The Mark Of Twain



Well yesterday began a new semester which of course means many different things such as seeing all my friends again, new classes, new teachers, and most importantly that my free time, well it’s gone. Hey though, that’s okay! Because luckily I really enjoy what I’m doing, a whole lot. And yesterday I began my studio class with Patrick, which I’m sure will provide me with an interesting semester to say the least. During our class yesterday we conducted this exercise called the change style indicator. Which you can read about here, but the overall mission is to figure out which category of three that you and everyone fit into. The categories being strong conservers, pragmatists, and the strong originators, each of these categories having their own pros and cons of course. My final number was a 10 on the strong originators side, which needless to say... I kinda liked. I wasn’t too high up on the totem pole or in the middle or anything. What this says about me as Patrick said is that we are the people that take risks, we are the people that know the rules but that doesn’t mean we won’t break them. And now personally me as a designer and human being, I like to think that’s how I am. I appreciate hard workers because hard work leads to a good outcome regardless in my mind and if you put fourth the time, people will appreciate that. I strive to create something original and spark conversation within my own work. I appreciate humor and having fun and I try to incorporate that into all of my work throughout the entire process. I am just trying to change things a bit if possible in my life and leave a mark somewhere on this little blue marble.
