I'm virtually at the end of the year II of Industrial Design and I have already had a reality shock as to how my progression has been for 2nd semester. The whole time I have come to think that graded marks are irrelevant just as long as I keep an open mind to what I have been exposed to and actually experience [backpacking] not being a tourist.
So I have been given some progressive marks for some of my work and true to my word I'm getting pass marks, so what’s the issue here? Well I'm not sure but I'm in two minds about my marks and the work that I have actually done. When I think about it I know I have learnt alot this semester, more so on a personal focus, basically I'm my own project. Though I guess what I have discovered displeases me a bit because there is alot more that I should have and could still be doing in terms of qualitative output. I'm not displeased with my learning actually the opposite but rather my lack of attention to detail and discipline as a designer, I seem totally obsessed till the point of putting pen to paper, I yet have not discovered my self [will I ever] or am correctly making the connection between what’s going on in my head and how I communicate this.
I know that I'm capable of good things but it's not happening, can I put this down to saying that I'm undergoing the transition, I feel like the ugly duckling and although my peers indicate a positive nature in me, I don't feel it and this won't happen until I personally allow my self to see what’s really staring back at me.
So the main thing here is to complain less about all that I have to do because I enjoy them. Its time for me to do what I have come to do, just after I go and have a beer.
The good things so far:
Approaching situations from a new direction
Disconnecting from my work to look at it again from a new perspective
Not procrastinating.
Planning and wider thinking [boundary shifting]
Trying new things
The not so good:
Lack of discipline
Experimentation
Everything that makes me feel bad about my work
