Vanity & Ego
Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration
01 – Are you capable of being vain about your art & design?
No, tend to feel my work hasn’t achieved a standard to gloat about.
02 – Do you have a healthy ego?
To do with my designs probably not, I think I should take little more pride in my work but in other aspects in life yes I do.
03 – What defines an unhealthy ego?
When you feel that there is nothing better than your work and that not matter what of criticism you get even if it is constructive criticism you wont take on board
04 – When others want to change your ideas, do you get offended?
Not really because I’m happy they want to work on my original thought
05 – When you are asked for opinions on other’s work, do you compare it to your own?
Yes, only to the extent of the time and effort put into the final products.
06 - When you are asked for opinions on your work, do you compare it to others?
Yes, which normal results in using the black thinking hat. People wouldn’t know what it is I’m comparing my critiquing to but it is how I set the bar.
07 – If somebody plagiarized your work, would you be proud?
I think my initial feeling would be proud but that would be quickly suppressed with anger and anxiety. First thought would be ******* (swearing) then I would worry “how do I prove it is mine?” If someone were to plagiarize they would want to be caught or proven guilty so I would worry what they have done to prove they own it.
08 – What is the difference between pride in your work, and vanity about your work?
When you take pride in your work there will always be something that would come along to ground you. Whereas vanity there is nothing that could deflate your blown out of proportion view of yourself
09 – Do you expect others to listen when you speak?
It varies. In social gatherings yes but in work or school environments I tend to not to be affected if people don’t listen due to lack of confidence and that I lack a feeling of importance with my opinion.
10 – When somebody else speaks are you thinking about what you are going to say next?
Yes , I’m too talkative
11 – Do you form opinions about others quickly?
Not so much an opinion but a feel for them to determine if I need to be wiery of them
12 – What percentage of your judgements about others talents are right?
30-40%
Blog Exercise – Idea Evolution
In regard to creative collaboration:
Discuss these questions - write a paragraph on each and use examples
1 . Do you have a strong belief in your personal ideas?
No, but as time is going by and I am learning more slowing I am building a belief in some of my ideas but most of the time it takes encouragement or a push to get me there.
2. How do you evaluate your personal ideas over a period of time?
Since I first attempted Graphic Design in 2009 my ideas have grown and broaden and I have less restrictions on my line of thinking.
3. How flexible are you in changing your mind about the value of your ideas?
I think when I start to notice that the final outcome is taking shape in how I imagined that my value of the idea slowly starts to change. If it doesn’t work out my mind will quickly change of the value of my thinking and ideas.
4. How flexible are you in changing your mind about the value of others’ ideas?
I think I’m pretty flexible cause I am always curious about others ideas and trains of thought.
5. Does hanging on to your old ideas block new ones?
YES! And sometimes it is hard to notice when you are holding onto a dead and old idea.
6. Are you slow or fast in moving on when an idea has burnt out?
I think slow because even when all concepts of the idea are burnt out I think I would want to re-visit the outcomes and make them meet a higher standard.. I just never seem satisfied.

Even though the quality of this video is terrible the quality of discussion is fantastic. He covers topics that are relevant to this weeks questions but also to myself. Two important things that I got from it was "pride doesn't ask for help" and "you cannot walk in your destiny if you are afraid of it". I have always want to have a lot of pride because I thought that meant you had no doubt about your abilities but in fact it limits you because if you cant ask for help for inspiration your restricting your creativity. Also it felt like a personal message to me when he says that "you cannot walk in your destiny if you are afraid of it" because when I doubt myself and afraid to try harder in fear of failing I am stopping myself from achieving my best.
