At first I expected for what I love to automatically come to me not sure what was and wasn’t the right thing to write. After about, 10 minutes of staring at my name written on the white wall it hit me and kind of threw me backwards. Who cares? When did it matter to other people what I love and what I don’t? My mind is my own and not someone else’s puppet. The Next problem I ran into, is my train of thought was too long and instead of thinking of maybe one word after another I would think 10. When you have the wall down, it’s hard to get it back to a trickle of thought. My completely unexpected aspect of the project was that I had a fun time connecting with other people’s designs too. The most unexpected thing is that we went to work right away; I thought we would practice for a couple days and it would be a work in progress. No, after writing two words we went right to the canvas and got cracking. When we all took a step back and saw that some people are more independent and others writing you couldn’t even tell apart who’s was who’s unless you looked extremely hard.
I feel that this was a good experience and turned out well. For a newbie, such as myself I could probably tell many things about the other quieter members in the group by looking at their (what I am calling at the moment) “Web.” You can tell a lot about a person by their thought process as well; personality. This made me grind my brain for all my favorite things when I realized I was suffering Blockbuster syndrome again. I have to tell you even thought I think it is helpful for some projects, I can completely argue each side of my argument. The web was nothing like I imagined, it was over ten thousand times better. I walked away thinking to myself “I have just left a piece of myself on the wall.”
"At first I expected for what I love to automatically come to me not sure what was and wasn’t the right thing to write. After about, 10 minutes of staring at my name written..." --> this is Blockbuster Syndrome right here.
ReplyDelete"Who cares? When did it matter to other people what I love and what I don’t? " -->exactly how you get out of Blockbuster Syndrome: realize the decision you're trying to make is rather unimportant so just make it.
"I have to tell you even thought I think it is helpful for some projects, I can completely argue each side of my argument." -->Ok, what is your side of the argument??
