Straight after I finished my course in graphic design at Shillington the 19th I expected myself to fall into a lazy state of mind where all I would do would be to sit on my couch for weeks and eat and watch series. But far from it. I jumped straight to working on another project that I could add to my portfolio and realized soon that I have to abandon my perfectionist tendencies if I ever want to get somewhere with graphic design and feel good about it.
With each project you work on you have to set a limit where you say: "this is just as good as it can get for now". Being confident about what you know and accepting that you still have so much more to learn is a difficult balance, but it is the only way to do it.
Being on my own schedule again is a relief, though. Getting ice cream in the middle of the day for a break, cooking tomato sauce from scratch with Sigurd and taking all the time in the world for lazy afternoon walks in the park. What a perfect timing with Sigurd's parents coming to the city this weekend!
Oh, and here is my portfolio by the way.
