More and more as I'm going through life this semester, walking around, observing things in public, I realize: I am a designer. I'm looking at everything from a designer stand point.

I look at images, logos, signs and I begin to question why the designer did what they did. If it works, I ask what makes it work. If it doesn't work, I ask what keeps it from working. When it doesn't work, I ask how could it be improved.

I'm really enjoying my art classes this semester. They're a lot of work but I'm learning a lot. At some points, I realize that I've already been doing some stuff that the prof is currently teaching. I think I just have an eye and a feel for it.

Several times my prof has encouraged me in class that I'm going in the right direction. He's called me a designer, he says I talk like a designer, he even "made" me "prof" for a class.

I feel that I am growing and I am developing. I feel like I'm going in the right direction.

What's intimidating to me at the moment is the fact that I'm going to have to get a job one day, and I'll have to have the confidence and the know how to tackle whatever is thrown at me. I know God will give me the strength and the courage. I don't need to worry about tomorrow. I need to let tomorrow worry about itself.

Currently in typography I am designing money. It's pretty fun. I'm even learning more about Illustrator. Things that I will totally be using in the future all the time (LIVE TRACE)!

In Commercial Layout & Design I am working on a graphic standards manual for a logo I redesigned for XS Energy. Maybe after I'm done, I'll try to sell the rebrand to them? They definitely need it.

I believe I have chosen a double major. If I don't, I'll at least take a few specific classes extra. I'll probably push for the double though. It would look best.

I'm going to work on a design for this blog, and probably give the blog a rename. I don't rant, rave or observe anymore. I just blog. heh
