Goals+Career+Response

Career Goals:

 My goals, I've found are very ambitious and demanding of myself, but at the same time they are simple and achievable. I want my design to evolve into an agent of cultural development(through development of my formal skills.) So eventually I would like to be in a place were they like to challenge the everyday man into bettering themselves, that places a great value into exploration and telling compelling stories. It should also be a place that allows me for constant learning. Maybe travel as well instead of settling in a single place for very long. In fewer words I want to live a simple life of design, yet meaningful were my work isn't attached to materialism but instead, its meaningful for someone. Eventually I would like to teach, and to share my knowledge.

Response to Reading

This reading is amazingly MIND. BLOWING! I loved it sooo much.
Specially because it reminded me of how much I suck, because I forgot these kinds of things that are so obvious to be doing as a designer. It reminds me that. "Communicators are best givers," I like this phrase, I could get behind that. Because I like giving and sharing with others. "Design doesn't have to" this one I like too. I've never cared too much about money and one of the reasons why I like design is for its endless possibilities that allow for creativity and art-making. Overall this reading coveys what the essence of design-as art, as a passion should be. It is a crude, yet tender reminder that I am in the right place, but I need to keep working to keep my spot. I'll definitely read this every know and then, it's good to have reminders, specially since I am so forgetful.
