Questions for myself.

One thing I really did this weekend was focus on why I started doing this project in the first place. I knew this would help me re-organize my thoughts. After realizing the description of what I was doing was ridiculously complicated and almost confused I knew I needed to think about what it was I really wanted to say. Asking myself a few different questions allowed me to think about it in a different way and therefore convey my message to others much more efficiently.

Why is this project important to you?
It all comes down to people. People as individuals, people as a whole. Its probably part of the reason I chose to become a graphic designer. You not only have the responsibility to create your own work, work that has meaning to you but also learn to convey a message that means something to someone else just as easily. In my creative field there will be things you do that not everyone understands or cares about, however if you have figured a way to get your message to other people you've done a huge part of your job right there.

I care about people. They intrigue me. I like to hear stories of peoples' lives. Like to watch strangers interact with one another. I find it very interesting how complex human's really are. Emotions, feelings, thoughts you may not share with anyone else out of fear of rejection, pain, shock. We want, naturally as a culture, for people to like us. We are superficial beings.
We are culminations of everything in our lives. We take it in with all of our senses. And the truth is, that nobody ever really will understand another person completely. The sad part is, not many people try.

I am out to expose those ideas to people. To create something that says something about human communication, human connections; with themselves, with each other. We see people, look at photographs, hear their voices but how often are we really listening? How much do these things really tell abut a person, about an individual? What would people reveal if we started asking? What would they continue to hide?
