- Achievements recognition— in life, experience, taking challenges, personal developments, etc
To not blindly following other people’s vision, not to follow the trend and advertisements, which is the vision created for everyone to follow.
To know interesting people.
To have friends, in whom I can confide, and who have real admirable features.
To know new means of expression and new subjects of study in art and design.
- My visions
To be self-sustainable and reliable in confidence, friends, knowledge, creativity, and expressions, but also in money and means of living.
- 2 year plan, 10 year plan and life plan
2 year plan:
Graduate with varied skills in design. Be sharp in aesthetics, with a niche in interactive design and other experimental edge cutting stuff. Be capable in website, app development and other high demanding jobs.
Work for Vic Uni, and keep freelancing.
Ok to be free for interesting new projects, charge heavy for stupid technical works.
- My networking—maintainable, clearing up and expanding
Wellington is tiny, you bump into people all the time. Catch up whenever you see an old contact.
Be open and honest all the time, but don’t try too hard to impress anyone, because this is not America. But remember as this is not America, don’t go too lose on this sorta thing and end up just too lazy.
Get in touch with the local design community. But also keep expanding to the more mature design community overseas.
