Someone told me today that I was crazy to pursue additional degrees since I already have a Bachelors degree. Well my degree is in business and it's not something I particularly love. My heart is in art. I love to create and be creative. So I'm getting another degree in Photographry. I might even go further and get a third degree in graphic design or 3D Animation.
I guess I love to learn new things. And hey, if that means I get to defer all the massive student loans I have from the first degree while I do this then that's okay with me! I also look at this in the long term. I am learning more skills that will help me to become a better photographer and artist.
There is always something new to learn, and technology always changes. I'm already challenged in my classes since the school runs on Mac computers and programs while I'm stuck with my PC at home. If I could afford a Mac I'd get one. PC's are just made more affordable. Working on these amazing machines at school makes me want a Mac so bad though!
Today my graphic design instructor gave us our first assignments. We have to come up with a unique system of pictographs and we have 4 weeks to do it. I have a few ideas about what I'm going to do for this project. I was thinking of something very complicated at first but then I came up with an idea that is fun and will be easier to excecute. I'm going to do a series of hair style pictographs.
We have to come up with a minimum of 12 in our system so I'm thinking of doing 6 women hair styles and 6 men hair styles. Lets just hope no one else has thought of this idea in my class. I need to sketch all these out first before I create them in Illustrator. I think I'm going to be doing a whole lot of lab time this semester! Wish me luck!
