My New Year’s Resolution for 2014
Last year I made a couple of business resolutions that I came pretty close to achieving. This year, I am making a resolution that is both personal and business related. My resolution for 2014 is to make more art… For some, this might sound weird because I am a graphic designer and for some, what I do for a living is art. However, I want to make more art outside of my graphic design. Prior to becoming what I call, “a real adult.” I use to paint, shoot photography and draw. I have been creating since I was born. As a baby, it was with words (babbling). As a youngster, crafting and drawing and in college, I began painting and experimenting with photography. Somewhere in my adult years, it stopped.
It may have been the stress and responsibility that comes with being an adult, paying bills and trying to just exist. A few years ago I started back crafting and creating, but not making art. This year, I plan to make more art. I am not sure what form the art will take, it may be painting, drawing, mixed media or photography. Whatever the form, I plan to do more than I have done currently. I think it will be beneficial because I will be exercising and stretching my creative muscle in a different way. I think it will also make me a better designer. This is why I consider this to be both a personal and business related resolution.
