For study 3, the questions I will be focusing on our:
What is your vision of the future you wish to inhabit, and what empowers you to make that vision manifest?
AND...
How shall we best articulate and advocate our vision for the kind of work that matters?
Upon reflecting on these questions, I've really become inspired by how I see the future and also given a lot of thought as to what it will take to manifest this vision.
I've also given a lot of thought about the past. Looking back on the past year of my life, things have changed so dramatically and I've encountered many experiences along the way that I never thought I would ever experience. From getting my own apartment in Chicago, enrolling in college, moving downtown, landing a job that I like, so on and so forth... Time changes many things and there's no telling what lies ahead. All I've learned is that taking the path less traveled is the best way to go!
Overall, I'd like to come up with something that shows where I've been and where I'm going...
In exploring and researching this topic, all I know at this point is that I'd like to express this journey by incorporating my major; Graphic Design, and coming up with something using software most often used by professionals in the industry. As my creations are often out of spontaneous inspiration, I have no clue what the final product will be at this point... But as I alluded to, part of my exploration in this study will be learning software such as Photoshop and Illustrator to come up with my actual study and then as far as research goes, I can't say. I have to come up with a concrete question for myself first which is something I'm still formulating...
So far, I keep thinking: How do our past perceptions of our future coincide with how they actually manifest in the present?

Hi Nick,
ReplyDeleteThis is a good start. I think you will find a lot of examples from the history of Graphic design that shows how designers use their craft to inform people about issues that matter to them. Have you seen the ACT-UP ad campaign about AIDS from the 1980's?
