Summary

Well, my last blog.... for now!

The past few months i have started a journey to expand my creativeness. I must say, i finally figured out in which parts i'm good and in which parts i still have to develop myself, or even quit doing it.

To summarize it:

I started drawing. I costed me a lot of effort, but i managed to draw a nice cat. Unfortunately i ruined it by pushing it too far and use watercolor to color it. The result: very nice piece of painting, perfect for the bin.

I went to museums, in which i figured out that i really like the old artworks, instead of the new, modern pieces. I always look for some romantic feeling in an artwork. Modernism is often very cold and definitely not romantic.

Then i started to use Photoshop. Finally something i really like doing, and guess what.. i seem to be good at it as well!

For now my creative journey ends with the feeling that i learned a lot about myself. I need to develop myself with Photoshop and i HAVE to quit using watercolor. I only allow myself using it when i am not proud of a drawing that i made.

I hope you liked reading my blog about my journey to expand my creativeness.

My first compliment!

Since I work on this project for several municipalities in Holland, I started to use Photoshop a lot to visualise the written parts.
The other day, when we had an appointment with the commissioning clients, and they asked us where we found the images used. I answered that i made them myself. They did not believe me, but it is true!
The complimented me with the images and the logo that i made for them.

I cannot explain how happy i am with this compliment. Right before i start graduating, i discovered where my strengths lie. Although i think that there is much to learn, it is something that i can use the rest of my life.
I do think i have to keep myself updated about all Adobe programs, since technology is changing every day. But for now.. i can use it for my thesis, so i can visualize that as well.
