the usual lecture notes

My dutch best friend was here this weekend, oh how good to see her!

I decided to throw the thesis plan in the trash; why not do a proper graduation project, not just a portfolio + some arbitrary research? Which could mean a type project. (And some text about the process.)

I had a teacher who said to put down your top five goals on index cards and to everyday write down one tiny step that you have done to achieve the goal. According to the rules of my teacher, if after two weeks you have done nothing then you have to throw away the index card as it is something you must not really want. (…)

Right.

    Hmm… I wonder what my top 5 would be? I’ve never tried something like that. Perhaps I shall.

    I like this trio of photos.

    Thank you all.

    Gracia – five goals seems quite a lot to me, but I guess mine would be:
    1. become a damn good graphic designer
    2. learn type design
    3. be a better friend
    4. take better care of myself (everything that relates to being happy and healthy)
    5. … (perhaps something about relationships here…)
