Colleen's Design Nook

In the tradition of Sven Ingvar Andersson, everyone needs a 'nook'. A place to display who they are and what they make. This is my digital nook for my design work and photography until it reaches a tangible, physical form.

I’m at this pretty discouraged point right now. Two of my three studio projects this semester have been, honestly, kinda crappy. The concept was really good, but my execution wasn’t quite right. It would have helped if I had a little bit of encouragement from my instructor, but he just talked at me every time I asked for feedback. And then blasted me in grading for my approach to problem solving (which fed my discouragement even more). I make stuff at my job that I don’t really like, but hey, they pay me. And I’ve devoted a lot of time to student government this semester only to see my two bills get tangled up in bureaucratic crap, and I feel like I’ve accomplished nothing that I wanted to this semester. And then few weeks ago someone told me that I don’t pay enough attention to detail and made me feel like shit about my work. And on top of that I crashed my bike and now I can’t go up hills.

Oh, and I found out that 20% of my studio grade comes from how we’ve improved as a designer. Any growth I’ve made definitely doesn’t show in my work. Coming from discouragement once again.

You don’t have to read this. It’s jsut my ramblings. Wow, I sound like Eeyore.
