2011 reflections.

I find that I am always repeating myself when it comes to end of year updates. There is always this promise to post more as if I can compartmentalize my life well enough to do so, and I list all the goals I wish to accomplish, the ones that aren’t too outlandish tend to get done. It’s all the same, just with different wording.

2011, as with any major transition year in anyone’s life was quite the eventful (code for stressful and all consuming) year. The “transition” as I’ve been calling it, is fully underway, and though I have full intensions on completing another degree the first steps into the working world I have been made. I no longer have the safety net of academia to comfort me or allow me to maintain an childlike utopian view of the design world but now have to fight and work hard to create that world I long to live/work in. Not saying that I haven’t worked hard before, working hard, is my form of meditation. The priorities of commerce and the “working” world called for a far different work ethic… but we all know this. I’m in the stage of editing my own opinion.

When thinking about it, no such piece of advice or perspective about this year or my life could come close to one that someone gave me earlier in the year.

Long time no post?:

Rest HERE

Side note:
Every time I attempt to write something about the past few months I become so overwhelmed. One day when I get a moment to pause, I’ll reflect. To a degree talking about the graduation process, post graduation feelings, and the constant search for somethings secure seems somewhat pretentious and self-indulgent and that a large reason why I’ve been so apprehensive but then I remind myself that having a blog as well as numerous social networking accounts is just as pretentious and self-indulgent. Right?

What is Design?

So I’ve been trying to think of some histrionic rant about my future and the uncertainty I am faced with but then I came across this gem from quite honestly one of my top 3 design firms. I feel that it is much more informative, honest, and all together more fulfilling then anything a recent graduate could ever say. I sugest you read every single word and attempt to digest:

Statement

I think the most difficult lesson numerous people have tried to teach me is “don’t think too hard”.

I’ll let you know when I’ve finally got it.
