Mature Adult Craves Soup and Horror Video Games
today was a day with a lot of fun graphic design research. i have taken the challenge of researching graphic design history to find my favorite movements and styles to add to my own work in terms of technique and color and because i'm also interested in sociology, i've been looking into the history of black, asian, queer, women and working class designers too and i'm shocked at how hard it is to find some of these things... especially working class and queer designers! it inspires me to start my own working class artist collective where i live because i think it's important to bring the working class conversation into the stratosphere of art, especially since diversity & inclusiveness is important to break down the mediocre, hegemony of art that is prevalent in my community & art communities outside of where i live.
lol lately i've been thinking about going to school to become an art therapist... i would love to major in sociology, minor in art and then get my master's in art therapy bc i think it would be important representation and to also contribute to an artist's approach to therapy. i'd love to work with working class children and adults and help them discover how art is a healing tool because it's done the same thing for me.
i finished my team's t-shirt design which was........... something. i wanted to bring up idk how you can get 30+ people to align to a design because art is subjective lmao we align to things like numbers on how much money to raise, how many acts of kindness, etc. all done by our graduation date, which makes sense. aligning on art though?? it really gave a few people the entitlement to be an asshole and say "i don't like this" without any suggestions. if i have to do again, i may. it was interesting to see how it works on such a huge scale though. it's good resume and portfolio stuff tho.
tonight is soup night yeaaahhh thai coconut soup!!!! i'm hungry and it's cold outside. gonna play some deadly premonition origins tonight bc i got that 90s point and click nostalgia and it itches that (and it's spooky).
