7 - A Self-Promotion

So, the second part of "Building Design Portfolios" led me into thinking about my self promo a bit. And in this thinking, I came to the conclusion that I have absolutely no idea what I want to do with it. I'm seriously stumped. I've looked through the book, what's up on blackboard, and various other sites across the web, and it's like there's this irritating block in my head that's all like "So, you wanna do something? Too bad. Now go make me a sandwich". It's like I'm a slave to this aforementioned block and he is just nagging at me to go do something else.

On a completely unrelated note, every time I pick up this book Riverdance somehow starts going through my head. Don't ask me why, or how. It just happens.

Once again, it seems like Designing a Portfolio seems to come up at the perfect time when I need it. Just a few days ago I was thinking to myself "Man, I've got my stuff, and how do I know if it's gonna look happy when I have to scale it down" and lo and behold: "Chapter 7 - Cleaning up". The book is made of win. I've been looking through my stuff and weeding out bits and pieces so far, still not sure which ones I want to stick up in the portfolio for real. I've been thinking of creating something Semester at Sea related, a banner or picture or something to, for one, help push the fact to potential designers that I did actually go around the world and it's worth mentioning again, and two, for my own pleasure. I've been stuck with this nasty case of reverse-culture shock ever since that trip, and it's been hanging over my head like a mildly constipated rain cloud, who only shows up and rains when it feels like it.

Regardless, the various freak-outs have began. The whole "I graduate in one month, holy nosebleed Batman" has taken over a good portion of my everyday thoughts. I just try not to think about it too much, and instead indulge myself on various hilarious videos across the interwebs. Like this one, from our good friends Igudesman and Joo.

Oh, also, I would just like to mention that I'd love to be this guy. Nobody can ever argue with him...
