Motivation is in Full Throttle
So yesterday I was chatting with a former student who was pursuing another degree because she did not feel confident in her design skills. She had an opportunity to do some layout work for a local business but was about to let the opportunity pass because she was "afraid of looking stupid".
Here ia a transcript of the text string that transpired 18 hours later:
Here ia a transcript of the text string that transpired 18 hours later:
"Just fyi... I gave him the first draft last night and he loves it. Said its the best anyone has ever done on the first draft and I haven’t even worked with him before. He has people that have been doing stuff for him for a while that don’t give him a first draft that is laid out so well. Made me excited.
"YES I AGREE!
I found my love for InDesign again. He is paying me $20/hr. Woohoo"
"Awesome!!!""YES I AGREE!
This was the test job... he said if I did a good job that he would continue sending me all his print work for me to setup. He sends me the text and pictures and I lay everything out in InDesign
Easy Money!"
"And I thought you gave up on design"
"Heck no. Just very self conscious. I am my worst critic."

"Heck no. Just very self conscious. I am my worst critic."
"Aren't we all?"
"But he gave me a crud load of compliments and he said he really likes that I adapted to the style he asked me to. He asked me to use the cover he made for it and incorporate it somehow throughout the brochure and still give it a newish style but he loved it! YAY!
"So happy for you. Now will you enter the Festival of Design and finish this month's course?"
"Yes sir.

I AM SOOOOO EXCITED that I can work from home doing design work.
He was most excited that I beat the deadline ... he wanted something by this morning and I got him his first proof last night.""So happy for you. Now will you enter the Festival of Design and finish this month's course?"
"Yes sir.
I am excited
Motivation is back in full throttle."
