Marshmallows

It was interesting on Monday when we were able to hear what actual design graduates had to say about the program. At first, when they started showing us samples of their projects, I was thinking, "There's no way I'll ever be able to do that." But when they continued to talk, I could tell that, that amount of work was nothing to them because they loved it. That's what I want for myself and I hope I am able to find it in the visual communication design major. Also, when we did the marshmallow challenge, I became a little bit frustrated at the end. When I looked up at the front of class and I saw how those guys thought outside the box, I was disappointed in myself. Everyone wants to have the best idea and our group had a pretty good one, but it's not always the best idea that succeeds. Their design was simple and we never considered that option because we were all so caught up trying to create a strong structure. I'm glad that they did what they did because it helped me realize even more how vital it is to think outside the box.
