Lately I have been feeling very frustrated with the work that I have been producing. There is not one piece that I really like. I have even been thinking about why I want to be a designer. Unfortunately I could not come up with a very good answer. I am double majoring in music and I suppose I would hope to incorporate the design into a music profession of some sort.
I think one of the main reasons that I am frustrated is because I don't know what my "forte" is yet. Like I mentioned earlier I attended Arizona State last year. The program there was so different because we were learning the "fundamentals" of design. In a way I would like to say that ruined me a little bit. When asked to create a composition, I am constantly worried about the measurements and whether it follows the "rules." I have also taken only one art class. As a result, I feel a little behind in terms of knowing myself as an artist. While people are being successful in their compositions, I am still playing around and learing what works. I guess I just need to step back and understand that that is why I am here.....

I can relate to you. :/ I have felt as though I am losing touch in this class. Maybe because it is so open ended??
Just remember, to break the rules, you gotta know and understand what they are in the first place.
