Creating & designing something new everyday, for the next 365 days.

Day 42: I just spend a quarter of my day in an intense midterm critique for my thesis, and I want people to be more engaging about not just their own work, but other peoples’ as well. It’s frustrating when you want feedback but you don’t get it. It’s also hard when the person is not interested in what they are doing. If you’re not interested, why should I be? Designing is about communicating, and a university setting should be the ideal place for honest talk, so why aren’t people engaging with each other in an honest way? Is it apathy? Is it ego? What’s the deal?

  1. lightencoded answered: Ego & fear combine.some people only see themselves and nobody else.Some are afraid to speak maybe they’re not confident. keep up ur work :)
  2. cassettecathederal answered: From what I experienced, it’s mostly ego rather than an apathetic perspective on design. And yes- guilty as charged on the ego thing too.
