There has been a quote in my mind lately. I came across it in the book I got for Christmas.

"There can be an intense egoism in following everybody else. People are in a hurry to magnify themselves by imitating what is popular-and too lazy to think of anything better. Hurry ruins saints was well as artists. They want quick success and they are in such a haste to get it that they cannot take time to be true to themselves. And when the madness us upon them they argue that their very haste is a species of integrity."

I posted it this morning as well. I see it a lot in design and I feel that at sometimes its my job to be like others. At the same time its my job to make something my own and different. Clients don't always see it that way. Classmates as well.

The quote is from a book that my book was quoting. That is on my list of things to read now as well.

Today was my first day back at the print shop and it was great! I am glad to be back there and I'm looking forward to some things coming up there! Angie has asked me to give a presentation at the next Pecha Kucha on the 29th of this month! It's theme is resolution and I might be able to come up with something for that. If I manage to, I'll post about it here and you can see what I talked about!
