Art has been one of the biggest parts of my life. It has helped me overcome hard situations, express my feelings that could not always be explained in words, and pass along a message using creativity to strengthen the impact. They always say that a picture is worth a thousand words. I want to make a difference in the world of design.
It's very important to always have some sort of personal influence in your work no matter how minimal it is. That's what makes art unique and desirable. No one wants art that just anyone could do or something that just looks the same as everything else. Simple is usually always better, but that still leaves a lot of room for creativity. I always thought it was bad that I had too many interests, but now I'm starting to think otherwise. I can use that many more aspects of me in my designs and have a broader range of an audience to portray my ideas and designs to.
I always challenge the assignments I'm given. I don't want to be like everyone else and have the same creations as other people. I want to stand out on my own. I want to work for a range of clients who will challenge my abilities and broaden my skills. I don't want the same type of clients all the time. I need change and something to keep me going and the same stuff can get boring. I couldn't tell you what exactly I want to work with for a client since I could see myself working with all kinds
I think you have a solid start to your design ideas. I think it might be helpful to use those now and start to dive in more. Pull out more of your ideas and show/describe them. It might be helpful to include your design process as well.
ReplyDeleteI can hear some of your passion for design here, which is neat. I would work on the wording to sound more decisive and certain - instead of "I try to always challenge" say "I challenge", and instead of "I think it's very important to.." say "It is important to." People want to hire someone who sounds like they are certain and confident. :) Otherwise, you have some really good stuff here. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGood advice thus far. I would add that some good ideas get started but then are not followed through on leaving me with a feeling of disconnect. Also the idea of being unique is brought up in two different way making thing seem repetitive. Try to consolidate this thought and then spend some time on how you accomplish this formally. I wonder if the third paragraph boxes you into a corner a little too much? The second paragraph is the clearest and strongest. It contains the ideas I would build the rest of your statement.
