The identity crisis continues....

This week in the "I have no idea who I am" saga, we focus on Missy's issues with defining who she is as a designer, and watch the dramatic cycles of doing work over and over. Will Missy lose her mind? Or, will Missy figure out who she is, and once and for all commit to a concept!

Based on my introduction to this weeks post, I guess I am losing my mind. Oh well.

I'm having a hard time nailing down my concept for portfolio. After some back and forth on my incessant list of concept ideas, I have found that I was actually on the right track to begin with. I just did a poor job defining what I meant.

So I am back at the beginning to work out just what was going on in my head, and to refine my thoughts so others can understand. To do this, I am back to loud music and booze. (Oh great. I'm a design drunk) No Beck tonight. Tonight I am enjoying the soulful voice of Adele, and bashing the songs, and terrorizing the husband, with my voice above it.

Thesis book: It sits next to me as I type this, judging me, filled with markups I need to refine. I shed tears on it everyday that I have no time to work on it. I'm looking forward to this 3-day weekend and my "day off a month" on Thursday to get it finished. What. A. Nerd.

Last weekend I shot one of my portfolio pieces to test out my new lights, and to practice different shooting styles. I think it looks OK, but I have not posted to class yet, so I may find I have to do it over.

Anyways, here are a few samples.
