Getting inspired

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

So the DVD project is progressing and it’s about that time for me to start designing the artwork for the DVD menu and the booklet. I also need to design a website for the project. The problem is, I know nothing about the subject matter, and the person “in charge” of the project knows less than nothing about technology. So I’m taking it one step at a time. Right now, I’m looking for imagery and texture and patterns relative to Guinea. I am also requesting for ANY photos that may have been taken on the last trip to the area. It’s very difficult trying to do something like this with no resources.  So right now, I’m looking at a lot of photos and trying to get inspired and get a feel for what the design will look like.

Personal deadlines

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

It has always been hard for me to keep personal deadlines – whether that “personal” means truly personal or on a more professional/personal level. I always put them off and let something else take precedence.

Hence the really long list of things that I need to do and want to do. It seems that the same or similar dreams, goals and ideas keep moving on and off the list, whether it’s an actual list or just the one in my head. Right now I seem to be lacking in the motivation and inspiration departments. Previously, in my past-life as a teacher, I always complained that it was the lack of time, and by proxy the lack of motivation and inspiration, that kept me from tackling the list. But now I know it has nothing to do with time – at least real time. I know I have issues with time and have spoken about it before. But there is definitely something else going on here.
