I’ve been looking through my old posts and was about to hit the delete key on about twenty of them… then I thought, this is my journey.  All the bad ads, all the poor layouts, and design flaws, even the journal posts about knowing it all, it’s all been part of my journey.

A year ago I knew everything… it’s only now that I am beginning to realize how far I’ve got to go.  Last year, I remember calling Karen Berndt at the Brandcenter, and asking her what I did wrong in my application.  She answered me openly and honestly, and because I was arrogant, I didn’t listen. 

Now, I’ve wasted a whole year, and still don’t know anything about layout and typography.  So, back to school it is, not to the Brandcenter as I had hoped, but to Full Sail University online and although online graphic design classes aren’t what I wanted, they are exactly what I need.

Shout out time:

Karen,

Thank you for telling me what was wrong with my ads, even though it was not what I wanted to hear.  You were right, and I know it.  I wish I could tell you how sorry I am, but you probably don’t even remember me.  Thank you though, for pointing me in the right direction.
