you can lead a horse to water....
Or, maybe i should say you can lead a client to a concept, but you can't make him buy it.
critique was a downer. i presented my layout (a brilliant piece of design work i might add; conceptual, intellectual, aesthetic, stimulating, dude it had it all) and despite praises from the majority of my peers, and despite my efforts to explain it, complete with psychology, all kaven could say was "I know you're spelling it out for me, but, I don't get it." psshhh. i shouldn't care so much i guess, jones thought it was fabulous. but for some reason i feel like i missed if it doesn't hit dead center with kaven. how could you not understand the concept? it's right there, just use a little interpretation for pete's sake. he'd just gotten through stating how you shouldn't insult the viewer's intelligence by blatantly spelling everything out within your design. and for some reason with mine, the idea of conceptualism didn't apply for him. peasant. nah i'm jokin. but i left early anyway. hahah those poor kids are still sitting there. critiques are long and boring as hell when your piece isn't up... in fact they usually go the better half of 2 and a half hours depending.
oh, and the whole time i was thinking that my brand new cell phone was somewhere in the grass on the huge hill getting rained on, so that didn't exactly make the time go faster either. i realized it was missing as soon as i finished mounting and almost had a heart attack. so i retraced my steps alllll the way back home and then back to the SC in the 15 minutes i had before class. didn't find it. then i realized that i had my backpack on when i was in my room bending over to pull my umbrella out from the bottom of a clothes basket in my closet and that it surely must've fallen out then. and sure enough, i opened my door and there it is on my bedroom floor. the world resumed its rotation after that.
this is a great song.
