ja sam milan.. '95 sam godište i ovde će biti sve što mislim i osećam.. ko je anksiozan, oseća se loše, ili je iz nekog razloga depresivan, ovaj blog nije za vas.. ne stidite se da popričate s nekim s kim će vam biti lakše, potražite stručnu pomoć ako vam je to potrebno.. vodite dnevnik kako se osećate ili blog kao ja. još uvek se borim da moje mentalno zdravlje bude ok, ali pretežno nije ok i to je u redu... imam troje prijatelja koje volim: dosta su slični meni, a opet totalno različiti... verovatno će i oni pratiti šta objavljujem i kako se osećam, isto kao i vi... imam odvojeni blog u kojem pišem priče o njima i sebi.. delim ga samo za ljude na mom instagramu, ali ovde će fokus više biti na mene.. volim crnu boju (znam da nije boja i briga me je), sve nijanse sive, belu (isto što i za crnu), plavu i ljubičastu. deo su moje ličnosti više nego što mislite.. volim pisanje, jesen, knjige, kafu, životinje, a posebno mačke.. dosta ljudi me je razočaralo, ali me to nije iznenadilo u svetu okrutnosti koji me okružuje... trudim se da budem srećan i da nađem svoju sreću. trudim se već 7 godina.. osim porodice i prijatelja, ne volim ljude generalno.. volim mala slova, što ne znači da ne znam pravopis i gramatiku.. premda mi se omane kao i svakome, jer ljudski je grešiti.. ljudi su zli i neempatični danas, živim za emociju iako sam spolja hladna fasada koja govori da ju je briga.. i briga me je s godinama... ne volim ljude koji ne gledaju svoja posla, kao radnik kojem smetaju radnici iz druge firme jer se ponaša kao da je ceo parking samo njegov.. trenutno sam na poslu, pa zato to i iznosim. volim da spavam i da blogujem... često poželim da me nema, ali što bi moj otac rekao, bez borbe nema sreće... nismo svi rođeni pod srećnom zvezdom. zašto hronični pesimista ovde? više zbog sarkazma, delimično zbog pesimizma.. dani su mi teški, dani su mi laki i oscilirajući.. trudim se da nađem balans i neki svoj mir. i neću odustati.

p. s verovatno ćete me naći ovde kao hroničnog introverta, jer sam ime promenio..

to je to za sada.

Berkeley Innovation Index Test 📇

I always say to myself that I don't see taking the path on having a business because simply I don't like it. No other reason, no other bases, not at all but I do appreciate other people who indulge themselves in this kind of business. Since we are in the technology era, a lot of innovation has been introduced to solve people's problems. But when a technopreneurship course was introduced to me, our instructor told us to take a test in which you will know how innovative your mind is. The test is called the Berkeley Innovation Index Test, in which it helps me somehow to understand  why I don't like involving myself in this kind of path. 

As you can see in the picture attached, it is the result after I take the Berkeley Innovation test. The overall score I got was 66.94 out 100 indicating that my innovation mindset is not fixed. In regards to the analysis of each component from the test, the result are the following along with my insights:

TRUST the score I got  is 63.33. I realize that it is so hard for me to trust other people when it comes to their integrity and action . I always think that the motive for approaching me is not genuine and there is a bad intention. That they approached me not because they wanted to know who I am but to use me for their benefits. In business it is not a good way of thinking because you have to trust your people as they are the ones who worked for you and the information about your business will be shared with them. If there is a doubt inside you, how will you work peacefully? 

RESILIENCE the score I got is 85.0. It shows that I am taking failure as opportunities and I don`t just give up just because I'm having that kind of challenge. That I always see success in any problem I encounter. And that understanding and accepting failure as part in my personal and professional growth. That in every failure I will have in my journey there is always learning that I will use for me  to grow and be better in both aspects in my life. 

The score I got in DIVERSITY is 75.0.  I always interact with other people no matter what personality they have. I always listen to what`s on their mind; ideas and opinions on a specific topic. Because I believe that the information you can get from them can help you to have more understanding and ideas. Also more diverse people can create a big network and connection. 

BELIEF the score I got is 78.0. I somehow believe one`s idea and abilities since it's their right to share what they have. It's just that I am that kind of person that sometimes I doubt them especially if I can see that the idea they have is not inline to what the topic is talking about. Also for myself, I always have that doubt if I can do that task in which I'm the one leading. Even Though I accept failure, I cannot erase the fear of failing. And maybe that is one of the factors I cannot see myself starting a business because my belief will be overcome by fear. 

The score I got in ALLOCATION is 85.0. It indicates that somehow I know where the right time to find resources is. And maybe it is because of the connections I build by joining other groups and creating a connection with them. That allows me to get resources when I need to that would help my project or event. 

In COLLABORATION the score I got is 67.5. I am a person who likes to collaborate with other people but sometimes there is a restriction I have in myself especially if I am not comfortable. I like to have a forum with other people because it enables me to share my ideas and opinions on a given topic. But sometimes belonging to a wide group makes me shy because I also don't like talking with a lot of people. It makes me nervous and uncomfortable, which leads me to keep quiet and becomes a barrier for me to socialize more with other people. One of the reasons why my score in the COMFORT ZONE is 61.67. 

In terms of INNOVATION ZONE the score I got is 20.0. Which I already expected because I'm not that kind of person who likes to innovate. I don't have that set of ideas where it can innovate things. The reasons why I don't really see myself in a business world. I may be good in some attitudes that an entrepreneur has but when it comes to this aspect, I cannot guarantee that I will do well. I can take risks but I have limitations that I follow.

DES 302 - Week 1

This week has been a struggle! Getting out of holiday mode and straight into a vast workload has felt quite overwhelming. I have found myself struggling to find where to get started on my assignment. After sitting in class on Monday, I felt I got home and immediately felt stressed after giving it a couple of days to unpack and think about the assignment. I was ready to start my research and plan how to get this assignment, but I mainly wanted to figure out what am going to do! 

For my capstone assignment, I am part of the Business + DEI stream. I am focusing on dyslexia. My current How might we statement is "How might we educate people in workplaces with strategies to better cater for and include employees with dyslexia?" I am not completely sure yet what I want to do for my assignment. I have realised that I mainly want to focus on people who have been diagnosed with dyslexia later in life. I think there is an important gap here, and I want to find a way to fix it. I also want to change the negative stigma around dyslexia.  

When I first met with my stream group on Monday, I immediately felt very confronted. Talking in the group about how we are in a safe space and we are going to have some very confronting conversations, I found it a lot more intense than expected. But after spending some time reflecting, I have felt more excited towards this idea. I am excited to learn more about each person in the group and each person's perspective. I think we all have such different stories, so working with each of them is going to be a very enriching experience. 

Getting started on my assignment was what I found the most overwhelming. I already felt like I was behind and needed to come up with an idea as soon as possible. I spent most of the week planning out my semester and figuring out how I would lay out my Miro board. I have also started research and mood boards for my assignment. Researching dyslexia is actually such an exciting experience for me. As someone who has grown up with dyslexia but never faced it and learnt about it is so interesting. Hearing so many different perspectives and learning the negative stigma around dyslexia is so wrong. I realise that dyslexia isn’t actually a bad thing at all, its just a different way of thinking. My favourite thing I have heard is, “Dyslexia isn’t a disability but a superpower”. So many people suffer from dyslexia. Why is it seen as such a bad thing?

Going forward into this semester, I am very nervous about what's to come. I feel quite overwhelmed, but I am also quite excited. Spending all my time on my capstone project, I think, will teach me a lot about myself. I am very nervous about falling behind and not staying on track. But I hope that if I keep organised and prioritise my work, I will get to an outcome I am proud of.

My Unexpected Night in a Berlin Fetish Club: I Had No Idea What I Was Walking Into!

My Unexpected Night in a Berlin Fetish Club: I Had No Idea What I Was Walking Into! 😳 When I landed in Berlin, I expected beer gardens, techno clubs, and maybe some bratwurst-induced food comas. What I did not expect was to find myself in one of the wildest fetish clubs in the world—completely by accident. How did this happen? Blame a Tinder date. The Invite I Should Have Questioned I matched with a girl named Anika—short pink hair, nose ring, and the bio: “Open-minded, adventurous, and always up for fun.” That should have been my first clue. She suggested we meet at a “cool underground spot” in Kreuzberg. I imagined a chill bar, maybe some live music. Nope. When I arrived, I saw a massive bouncer at the entrance and a long line of people wearing… well, almost nothing. Latex, leather, chains—stuff that looked straight out of a Berlin version of Fifty Shades of Grey. Anika greeted me in a fishnet bodysuit and said, “You’re gonna love this.” I had no idea what this was. Inside the Madness The club was dark, pulsing with industrial techno and filled with people engaging in activities that made my brain short-circuit. There were cages. St. Andrew’s crosses. A guy walking around in a full-body latex suit like a damn alien. And in the corner? A woman whipping a man who was thanking her. Anika turned to me, grinning. “Let’s get a drink.” I was too stunned to refuse. As we sipped on our overpriced cocktails, she casually mentioned, “Tonight’s theme is ‘Submission & Control.’ Want to participate?” I choked on my drink. The Escape Plan (Or Lack Thereof) Before I could respond, a masked woman in thigh-high boots walked over and said, “New here?” I nodded, still processing everything. She smirked and handed me a collar. “You’ll need this if you want to stay.” That was my cue. I turned to Anika and stammered something about needing to “check on my cat.” She laughed. “You don’t have a cat.” Didn’t matter. I bolted for the door, narrowly avoiding a guy walking a human on a leash. So, lesson learned: in Berlin, when someone invites you to an “underground club,” ask a lot of questions first. Or, you know… just embrace the chaos. Tags and categories: blog1, fiction, germany, short-story, travel, writing via WordPress https://ift.tt/CN9gWkQ March 28, 2025 at 02:20PM

January 2nd 2025

I thought maybe it would be good to start a blog going into the new year and although I slightly missed the launch date, I hope you will still have me.

I've kept a journal every year since middle school and I'm going to think of you as a continuation of those but hopefully I will find myself being more honest. Eventually, I hope somebody does some sort of study that explains why we lie when the audience only has us in it but for now I am going to make an effort.

Right now it's 7:29 am and on any other day, I would have already been at work for forty minutes and about to clock in for my nine-hour shift. That has been my routine since the start of October and I am trying not to make a habit of calling off whenever the voice in the back of my head tells me to yet here I am for the fourth time in twenty days.

I send a hesitantly typed-out message to my director and then spend the next hour convincing myself it was okay to not go in today.

I still want to attempt to stay awake so I started you and then I hope to write something else that will make me feel better about sitting in my bed for two days straight on the first days of the new year.

If all things go according to plan than this year will be so jam-packed I won't even have time to breathe so I think it wont be the end of the world if I get some rare rest in now.

Maybe we could do monthly updates on specific sections so it is easier to keep track of where I'm standing without needing to read every single entry I manage to get in (that to say I do this more than once or twice).

Romance might be the most prominent to start with because, for the first time in my two decades and some change years on earth, I actually have something worth note. I've been sabotaging it in my head already for the better part of a month but still haven't managed to completely ruin it so I'm taking that as a good sign.

Guy is everything I could have asked for and although I feel like it probably wasn't as planned that I end up with a man, I suppose it was going to be him if it was anybody. There isn't anything to complain about right now except for the fact my humor doesn't translate over text and neither does his cuteness, not to mention he is still my brothers best friend which is a hurdle I've only started to eyeball the size of.

I've always had a bitter taste in my mouth that I spent my life reading and writing stories with smooth romantic dialogue and dilemmas that just didn't seem to happen to real people, wasting my time on nonstop daydreams and fantasies that were simply from other peoples overactive imaginations. I tell you it feels good to be wrong.

He is nice to me and he likes me more than I like him which I think is a very wonderful thing. Selfishly I'm going to add that he is tall and handsome which helps his case and let me not gush too much because I still haven't figured out how to do it without feeling ridiculous.

Maybe next month. I will see him again in about two weeks and it'll be our first time really seeing each other since we transitioned to whatever it is that we are doing and then we have a large trip in February that I imagine will mark the official of something, anything.

Work category is going shockingly well despite my recent burst of calling off and there isn't much to report on. I like my job despite my humanly complaints and most importantly, I think I'm good at it. There is a few areas I need to spend more time in but past that I am happy that I like it because I was starting to think I would be a miserable worker forever.

I had a few more categories I wanted to touch on but I am starting to feel performative again so I think I will go ahead and call it here for now. I hope to talk soon because I am sick of always leaving you behind, maybe this year I will start to figure out who exactly you are.

More on that later.

Happy 2025 to us.

A day in my life as a Midwifery student ✨🎀

[oysterockfella]

Everything’s gotta start somewhere but everything ends somehow

This is my first journal that I’m putting on tumblr. I’m trying to make the blog like a live journal thing… So why not just post on live journal? Because I never hear of people using it anymore and on top of that I grew up on tumblr so it’s only fair. I don’t expect people to read the journals. It’s more for me to look back on in like 20 years and be nostalgic for what was. Cause lord knows I hate it all right now. But that’s how it goes. It’s like that Arctic Monkeys song “Nothing seems as pretty as the past though.” Even if the past was bad to me I look at it with sadness because I’ll never feel like that again. It’s whatever I can deal with living in the present moment for the most part. I just wish I had something exciting and consistent going on. Like a new fling or maybe even something more (Cause I’m so good at that lol). I haven’t wanted to really be with anybody in almost 3 years. I don’t mind, I like the single life and I’m not lacking much. I’m just tired of meaningless hookups and going on dates from people on dating apps. I don’t think it’d ever work out for more than just using each other and again that gets boring after a while. Or maybe I’m just not built for long term commitment.

Personality Test

I didn't expect the result of the test actually but:

I have a preference to situations that I am able to manage and make sure everything is in order.

[yaniztisoy]

BII TEST

MyPersonal Innovation Mindset Level is currently 58.38 out of 100.

Trust 58.0 - Since I don’t trust people that easily and sometimes I barely trust myself and I know that if I want to get better I have to interact with people and to do that I have to trust. But as of right now the only person i trust is my family and friends.

Resilience 80.0 - I think I am quite a resilient person because first of all, I get into difficult situations or I get confronted with problems and find solutions for them or at least try to find, and in most cases, I emerge from the situation stronger. It can be life challenges or the career changes, or other circumstances that might present themselves; I have grown to become a fast problem-solver, an optimist and a go-getter.

Diversity 60.0 - Reflecting on the points described above, I can state that my life experiences, hobbies, and the responsibilities assigned in my everyday life contribute to the development of extraordinary perspectives that help me to perceive problems comprehensively and find people with whom I can easily communicate.

Belief 62.0 - I can confidently state that I possess a high level of responsibility and am fully aware of my worth and beliefs. I make others have faith in me by being honest and making sure I keep my promises and everyone can rely on me to do the right thing.

Allocation 65.0 - At 65. 0 percent is giving me the ability to optimize most of my work and take extra care of key areas. But I also know that to be even more efficient one has to continually fine-tune one’s approaches – be it through reprioritization, process enhancement, or searching for more resources.

Collaboration 35.0 - I understand that this is very much a weakness for me. This score suggests that while I am involved with teamwork and partnership abilities and actively cooperate with others there might be some ways to be even more involved in the activities, report to the others more or built closer relationships with the ones I work with.

Comfort Zone 35.0 - This score demonstrates my desire and ability to cross comfort level to work for development, acquisition of knowledge and to accomplish challenging goals.

Innovation Zone 72.0 - Innovative zone is one of the components that are fundamental to my learning-teaching process both in my work and in my life. It expands on the region where I fully engage the use of creativity, risks and innovations. Thus, this zone is not only how much innovation I contribute, but also how I transition it into practice in work as well as in life.

BII TEST

Since I was in high school I already had vision on having a business one day since we have sari-sari store and I was hoping that I could improve our sari-sari store into something else, something that is more than it is. I love cooking and sometimes I plan on having an restaurant so that the business I run is also related to my skill or hobby but I don't have a clear goal or mind to support my needs to pursue it, until one day our Technopreneurship introduce us the Berkeley Innovation Index Test where it would help you understand whether you are suitable for business or not.

As you can see in the chart my overall score is 63.33 out of 100. Very low even if i wanted business, my mindset is far from being able to support my way through it.

My TRUST 45.33% : I rarely trust people because I don't even trust myself that much, I know that if I want to improve I need to socialize and to socialize I need to trust. But as of right now the only person I trust is my family and friends.

My RESILIENCE 75.0 : I'm pretty good at bouncing back when things don't go as planned. I see setbacks as chances to learn rather than failures. My projects, like working with IoT or developing that money changer machine idea, throw challenges my way, but I usually manage to turn them into something positive.

My DIVERSITY 57.7 : I understand how valuable it is to have different perspectives, but sometimes it's a bit challenging for me to connect with people from different backgrounds. Since I'm often surrounded by people with similar interests, it might limit how much I engage with diversity, though I do try to stay open to it.

My BELIEF : I have a lot of confidence in my ideas and abilities, and my collages which helps me motivate others and keep going even when things get tough. I really hope that it would pay off since this semester is a really tough one.

My ALLOCATION 65.0. I’m pretty good at knowing when to aim for perfection and when to settle for "good enough." But, there are times when I could be better at balancing my resources and deciding where to focus my efforts

My COLLABORATION 77.5 : I work well with others and can share information effectively. I'm good at managing conflicts productively, which helps when working on projects with different people involved. My experience with various tech projects has really honed this skill.

COMFORT ZONE 71.67: I’m comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone when needed, which is important for growth and innovation. Taking on new and challenging projects shows that I’m open to adapting and learning new things.

INNOVATION ZONE 44.0: Innovation is an area where I can improve. While I have the potential to innovate, sometimes there are barriers holding me back. This might be linked to the lower trust score, as taking risks and innovating often require trusting others and stepping out of my comfort zone more than I currently do.

BERKELEY INNOVATION INDEX TEST

I've never considered starting a business because I've never felt motivated by anyone or anything. However, seeing some of my friends run their own businesses amazed me and gave me hope that maybe I could do the same one day. I wonder how they manage to run a business and continue their studies at the same time. Still, I'm hopeful that I can be like them someday.

HERE'S THE RESULT OF MY BERKELEY INNOVATION INDEX TEST:

The picture shows that my personal innovation mindset level is 64.64 out of 100, indicating that my innovation mindset is not yet fixed. However, this also means that there is room for improvement and growth.

This is my analysis and recommendations:

TRUST 47.33 - This component has the lowest score. This indicate that I do not easily trust people that it takes time to build this which is needed in a business. This also suggests that trust is a significant factor in business success, particularly in the world of innovation where collaboration with others is often involved, making trust a crucial part of the process.

RESILIENCE 65.0 - Resilience is essential in the world of innovation where things are not sure on whether it will go in my way or it will turn upside down. My score indicates me that I am there but I still need a slight push to really be there. It also indicates that my failures should not be a hindrance on taking another chance, I will set it as a lesson to avoid making the same mistakes that make me failed.

DIVERSITY: 62.5 - I got a score of 62.5 which I believe is fairly high enough. It indicates that I am open to new ideas from different perspective because I believe that we can learn things from each other.

BELIEF: 65.33 - Belief in one's own ideas and abilities is necessary to influence others and and find motivation to overcome obstacles. I got a score of 65.33 which indicates that I am confident in my ideas and abilities, that I can motivate someone to overcome challenges in life. Also, there's still a need to improve in this component.

ALLOCATION: 70.0 - I got a score of 70.0 which is high enough. This indicates that I know when to focus on perfection and when to allow good enough to be good enough to have an optimal balance of resources.

COLLABORATION: 65.0 - I always share my ideas when I have one. Especially when I think that my ideas could be helpful to my collaborators.

COMFORT ZONE: 70.0 - Having a wide comfort zone is correlated with growth mindset is necessary for a person to grow, adapt, and innovate. I got a score of 70.0 which is second to the highest score among other components. That indicates that I have comfort zone that helps me to grow adapt and innovate.

INNOVATION ZONE: 72.0 - This component got the highest score having 72.0. My Innovation Zone is my interest level and motivation for innovation and entrepreneurship. This indicates that my interest level for innovation and entrepreneurship is high. Hoping that someday I can be successful in this field.

Overcoming Adversity: Legal Resilience and Social Justice in Mindanao's Conflict Through Law and Legal Profession [BLOG1 ITL]

In Mindanao's ever-changing environment, where the echoes of past conflicts mingle with dreams of a better tomorrow, the legal arena becomes a stage where struggles and hopes collide. It possesses the potential to act as a catalyst for social justice, bridging societal gaps and sketching fairer prospects amidst the region's tumultuous backdrop. However, its effectiveness is often entangled with political realities, where its noble aims collide with the harsh pragmatism of power dynamics and resource limitations.

On one side, the law serves as an empowering force. Lawyers, wielding advocacy as a shield, defend the marginalized. Considering T’boli and Lumad communities, threatened by corporate interests, finding refuge in legal experts who deploy constitutional protections. Imagine farmers, armed with land titles, standing firm against dispossession, supported by legal champions invoking agrarian reform laws. These are the victories inscribed in the legal narrative, evidence of law's potential to combat injustice. In addition to these triumphs, indigenous peoples reclaiming ancestral lands through landmark court decisions, and marginalized communities securing access to essential services through public interest further illustrate the transformative power of the law in Mindanao.

Yet, the legal framework in Mindanao bears the scars of political interference. Impunity exists, fueled by influential figures who manipulate the system. Instances of extrajudicial killings become grim narratives, whispered in fear, while corruption corrodes legal processes. This darker side of the narrative serves as a stark reminder of law's susceptibility to political influence.

Nevertheless, amidst these challenges, there are sparks of resilience. Legal aid centers, beacons of hope in a landscape of inequality, provide guidance to those navigating the complexities of justice. Law and human rights advocates, driven by idealism, champion the rights of the underprivileged. And in the emerging Bangsamoro Autonomous Region, a fledgling experiment in self-governance takes root, anchored in legal frameworks promising a more equitable future.

The legal field in Mindanao is not static but a dynamic interplay of hope and despair, progress and setbacks. It mirrors broader political struggles, where individual destinies hang in the balance. Understanding this complexity necessitates scrutiny that transcends simplistic narratives, delving into the nuances of power dynamics, resource constraints, and the pursuit of social justice.

The battle for Mindanao's future persists, and academic inquiry remains a potent tool in this endeavor. By dissecting the complexities, acknowledging the challenges, and highlighting the successes, we can contribute to a vision where the legal system in Mindanao becomes a transformative force for a fairer and more just society.

Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

A novel "Me Before You" wrote by Jojo Moyes is about a woman named Louisa Clark who is a caregiver of a man named Will Traynor who can't enjoy to do what he loves because of his condition due to an accident. The two gradually became friends, but Will wished to die because of his situation and unhappy feelings.

The novel made me think that even we feel that our life was nothing, there's always someone who makes us feel that life is worth for living. Just enjoy every moment of your life and live happy to the fullest. However, I understand Will's struggle when he said that their time together had been special, but he could not manage to live in a wheelchair, because it's really hard to pretend that you're always happy but you can't do the things you loved that makes you happy. I cannot decide if I will agree or diagree to Will's choice because I'm not on his shoes, I don't know how hard or tough for him that situation, but for me, life is really beautiful and wonderful. After reading the novel, I realized that it is important to appreciate and cherish people who help us through our tough times. While reading the novel I wished that the ending was happy but it ended up heartbreaking after all.

Overall, Me Before You is really a good novel, it made me think that life is worth living and we should treasure every moment that we made. If there's another story like this in the future, l would read it because it makes me understand the means of living. I would also read another book by Jojo Moyes because her creation is relatable to the experience and life of some readers. And I would recommend this novel to everyone who loves to read about love, friendship, and life stories.

Self Reflection

This Blog is related to my experience from the previous semester in Graphic design and Branding course. My courses included Advanced design skill lab, design practice 1 and research method which assist me a lot to find out my potentials and interests.

I start off with research method by pointing out some of my work during the semester.

Mind map

Here is the subject called balance in design .I chose this because of the fact that designing Logo is my all time favourite part of design.

This part assisted me to broaden my horizons regarding features of a good design. Then all of these research helped to reach a point to be aware of other parameters and other parts in branding ,By doing this I was able to get more Information through research about this Industry.

The Project made a path In order to first do research as many as possible and dive into a design problem in the first place and understanding what is going on in the specific area and It's Problems. All the subject and studies helped to narrow down a single issue instead of thinking generally and searching facts instead of assumption and Conjectures. Speaking of other subjects I mention design Skill lab project had important role to form my interest and to make improvements.

PHOTOGRAPHY

These class was a great opportunity to look at things differently and recognizing small details in a creative way, not just in photography but in finding solutions and see problems with a new filter.

1.How far can YOU go...

2.DEPTH

3.Have I cried too much?

Black & White

Photography sessions reflect the meanings behind things, To be more precise, I became a better observer and pay more attention to details and happenings around me, Behaviours, colours, positions and etc..

Another part in Skill lab classes was the Design thinking part, which completely changed my mindset .

The Quantity over Quality mindset:

This is a way of brainstorming in design. One of methods was the 8 crazy Ideas and by doing this I realized even my low level suggestions and drawings can lead to a great result no matter how bad they are.

The crazy8 Idea for logo( design studio practice 1)

2 Ideas out of the technique.

Another crucial point In that semester for me specially in designing was that It is of importance to consider the target audience preferences ,not my own taste.

Of course that is Important to have my own style ,however customer's taste ought to be the 1st step to consider and combining it with my own unique style of work. As I mentioned earlier, Being a good observer is crucial as other parts in design and branding.

So I learned If I need to focus on a special area or target audience, I need to do the observations of that specific subject.

If my project is going to be related to Teenagers, Research and observations are important in this stage before finding solutions.

Direct observation of a teenage movie

All of the subjects In the previous semester were connected and had a point .The process of Designing and design thinking taught me to find my own style and Interest .

As for the future goals Skill lab sessions were much more related to what I want to become down the road; by all trainings, paths, thinking strategies..
