A funny thought- Design
I was talking to Tim about my hectic work schedule the other day and how I'm currently working on two publications at once (20 page magazine plus internal newsletter) plus a bunch of one-off projects, to which Tim said:
"Remember when you were in school and it took you hours if not days to design something?"
The fact that I can go from just being handed a project to first draft in 10-15min now seems just normal to me, but if I look back at how long it used to take, I do have to give myself a giant pat on the back. What makes me faster? A better understanding of programs, more trust in my intuition and more confidence in my vision. At first, I used to be so daunted as to whether I was "good enough" with each design, and now it just happens.
So, I guess I have earned my Photoshop Hero shirt for now.
ON ANOTHER NOTE: I get to do a photo shoot on monday of a rare/very involved surgery and I'm soooo stoked. It's going to be really fascinating and cool. GOLD STARS to loving my job.
