Two Down, One To Go!
Well, my first two exams have been OK so far. I actually got my results back for the written test already: 97% ! Woo hoo!!! I certainly didn't get any marks that high in those ball-breaking engineering exams in my uni days.
My final exam is a design brief for creating a logo in Illustrator, then applying that logo to stationery, business cards etc, all within the 3 hours. It's the kind of stuff I really enjoy, however the one area that could possibly be my downfall is that I am a perfectionist. During the year it took me forever and dozens of thumbnail sketches to finally decide upon a logo for the exercise we were set. Anyway, I won't have time to mull over a dozen thumbnails this time round, it will have to be a quick decision that I run with.
In the mean time, here is a sneak preview of the calendar that I am putting together to include in my end of year folio.
Ah! It's all in the mind cuz! If you think that being a perfectionist is your downfall, then that's exactly what it will be! Otherwise it's your greatest POWER! My boss Peter Lik is the ultimate perfectionist, and look at him, kicking ass! Get your thinking straight cuz and just go for it!
