Design and the Play Instinct part of the reading caught my eye. It was in the first question that really spiked my interest when the question was answered by stating that there are no formulas in creative work. Design is something that must be made up from your inner artist. It has to come from with in and be original and I believe that this specifically is a huge part in design that an artist has to display in their work in order to be original and successful.

The article called Failure by Design was another one that interested me. The title was a little strange to me and honest I clicked on it because I was born in 1993 and I saw the year and immediately went to it. There is a quote that says, “Why is the average graphic design effort today merely average at best?” and I partially agree with it. Art will only get better and will change it’s path constantly over time. That’s what I like most about art. If art was at it’s peak pack in the 80’s then there would be no chance for artists of this century to prove themselves. That’s why art is by opinion and every piece attracts a new crown which I love about the job. It gives each artist to make it their own.

I want to be a graphic designer because ever since I was younger, art in general has been my passion. It’s what I’m good at when it comes to school. It’s the only subject I will actually willingly pull an all-nighter for. I want to be a designer because it’s what I think that will bring me the farthest in life when it comes to art fields. I enjoy drawing and painting, but the digital part of art intrigues me. I like the freedom of taking something so simple as a shape and turing it into something epic and beautiful. This past summer I got a job at the #1 day camp in Massachusetts called LINX as a camp counsellor and absolutely loved my job! At the end of the summer it ended up turning into a graphic design job through out the year and I’m excited to see where that takes me!

The most recent magazine that I’ve been subscribed to is called “Racer X.”
