The creative process... I personnaly take comfort in knowing that I do not master ANY
of the many creative fields that I work in. Trying harder and pushing harder to do my best
is the most encouraging factor of creativity for me, to surpass all of my previous resulsts;
whether it be music, paintings or even graphic design, I'm never truly satisfied with
the results unless my objectives are to please my needs which is a profond mistake.
Who else are you gonna please if you make it come out SO transparent that you recongnise
yourself in your work? Although this is a texture that I find more interesting in music where
has the more personnal you make it, the more honnest it sounds. But this kind of makeshift
creativity does not apply in graphic design or photography for it becomes redundant...
and my work in all those examples is exactly what I'm doing at the moment,
but not being able to explore and dissect the goals intended is what will keep me
from doing these mistakes. I am happy in knowing that I am a beginner,
and that I will only get better.
