As a designer and a person, you are a mash-up of what you choose to let in your life. I have been thinking lately about this and looking at what I have let into my life both as a person as well as a designer and how these things have an impact. I try to be an open person and except all ideas. I find my self a huge optimistic and try to find positive in everything. Even if its bad I use it to find the good.
A big part of my life is music and I find inspiration within. That being said I try to listen to a large variation and range of it. Everyday my radio station has a different channel as I make my drive. I find that different generous put me in different moods and the way I look at thinks which I find very useful. One of the biggest things is I do not read which I would say is a downfall. I know there is so much information, knowledge and creativity with reading, I just can not get myself to sit down and do it. I just hate it. To compensate for this I try to watch movies, much like I explained with music and having variety. I do love any documentaries and could watch them for hours at times which informs me of so much history and cultures around the world.
People are a huge impact on what you let in or out of your life as well. Whether it is your friends, family or coworkers they are all effecting your lifestyle as well and most of the time I do not realize is it. That being said I try to be with people I enjoy and are positive. Creative people are a must to be around especially in the design world.
Overall I feel satisfied with the influences around me. Like I said before about being optimistic and I can see the good out of almost anything which keeps me a very positive happy guy. The one thing I know I need to work on more is reading and being able to enjoy it so I can learn from it as well.
I have not mention yet, but I will be following a designer throughout this blog and looking at him as a "mentor" and studding his work which is Armin Hofmann, who is a Swiss designer. The following pieces are his work and I will be talking about him more in the upcoming blogs.
