In Between (Wed 14th)

As we all know, finals is on Monday. Finals is probably the most horrible word for students like us. Midterm is one of them but finals is the worst.

I am not too fond of this partnership idea. With the life style I have right now, it is hard on me physically. I am exhausted and woken up late because it is the only time I get to sleep. This affects my part for the project. When I first started this project I was so excited. But after having to do many revisions to the offline piece, I become negative toward it. Revision is a good thing because design keeps improving.

The more and more I think about, I don't think I like graphic design very much at the moment. I believe I feel this way because every time I show something, teachers and classmates always criticize them in a way that discourages me. I have never seen my peers saying, "Wow that looks great!" But then who is that to blame? Me, me, me.

I can see that in graphic design, there are rules. And when I break these "rules," I will get scolded and lectured, "Have you forgot everything you learned?" But then I see another classmate breaking these "rules" and their works are not criticized. I am just a bit confused with everything that I've learned.

Last quarter should by my last one. I am not mentally prepared for this. I don't even want to think about it. I wish I can be more in love with graphic design. I do not know if this is just me talking because of finals week or my true inner feeling. If that is so, what am I doing in this major?

For final project, my group is doing a video to promote Fine Arts option in Graphic Design/Visual Communication. Our offline piece is an invitation to come to an orientation. I must say the offline piece came a long way to look like what it does now.

Perhaps I am over thinking this whole thing.
