Through this experience I got the opportunity to put my creative proccess to the test. Through it I have learned that I require a bit of early deadlines to really develop process work and to " fail early." One of my biggest struggles is my perfectionism that sometimes stops me from working. But sketching and then trying out worked out well. I realize that scheduling is good but even better if I have the schedule in my face, somewhere where I will be able to see it regularly. There are a couple of time management tools that I also learned that were very beneficial for me.
Time blocking having goals and visualizing me completing those goals helped me make time and get things done. When having artist block changing my location and doing something new for inspiration are all time management strategies that I learned thanks to Professor Bremenstuhl's presentation. (Bremenstuhl)
I interviewed two of my friends that I know went through a similar experience to make sure I was not missing anything and to see if they had similar or very different themes that they experienced. Thanks to these interviews my project was a little more true in its representation, especially in my culture collage.
