Creative Assessment

I didn't realize how many designers have hang ups about their work. I didn't think that everyone naturally loved the work that they created but at the same time I didn't think that many people were that conscious about their work. Some of the people that I think are so great for some reason admitted not always liking their work.

I also liked how we each viewed being a warrior, an explorer and a poet differently. I think that each reflected our creative ideas and perspectives. Honestly though I think that I gave lengthy answers to too many of them. I was also surprised that have creative studies out there that study these behaviors in designers. I find that funny yet interesting.

But I think it will be great to see them in about two years where ever we may be. At the same time though, I'm not really sure I will get it back since I don't know where I will be and neither do my parents since they move every year.

I'm curious to see how I will view all of this in a few years. Will I look back at it and reflect happily on this year and taking this class or will I look back on this year and hate it? Will I have improved creatively by that time or will I still be this bad or worse? I think things will change that's for sure. I know sometimes when I look back upon the work that did while at Stephens, I'm more proud of it now than I was then. In fact to some extent, I think that I romanticize some of the creative works that I did there in writing and design.

I just wonder if I will be doing the same thing about five years from now. I guess I can only wait and see.
