Designing Violence against Women »
Recently I was browsing Behance and came across a photo shoot which I felt challenged my morals. Whilst I am not doubting the capabilities of the photographer and models, the subject matter seems questionable to me. Its aim is to raise awareness for violence against women – a sensitive subject worldwide, and one that ought to be handled with tact by even the most flamboyant creatives.
Creativity Does Not Need Validation »
It’s unfair to say that my family have not been supportive of my career, however I do remember growing up with the notion that becoming a doctor or lawyer was the ultimate academic achievement and that everything else was simply what awkward, less smart kids did. I always did think that it was slightly unfair, as it implies that the validity of any given subject or career is essentially baseless (being successful in any career is hard work). I would attempt to compare what I’ve learned to what a science student learns, but the irony would be how it shows that I need to validate what I have learned in order to justify myself.
