Have You Checked Your Subconscious Lately?

I was having a coffee with a friend the other day when he was telling me how excited he was that his little girl was starting her first day at school the next morning. Have a look at the video below and see what bizarre scenario that came out of it!

This begs the question, ‘What does your subconscious believe that you don’t?’. It’s a little bit worrying that we may all have something that is Pre-Tuned in ourselves and if we are not aware of it, it could well hinder us in all kinds of manners. The perception of it is ‘OK’ for work but not for my family it utterly absurd, but I’m sure we all have some subconscious attitudes to many things, that unless pointed out, go unchecked.

Maybe we should all take a little time to closely look at ourselves and what our true beliefs are, ‘Will I be a success?’, I think it would be very hard to be one if you subconsciously believe you won’t. Many people use ‘Positive Affirmations’ to combat this, for example, they will cite ‘I am a success’ to themselves to convince the subconscious of it. Short, positive, present tense phrases. I personally believe that you have to have faith in yourself and if you encounter any negatives to what you are doing, just ostricise the influences. Truly look at what may be motivating that sentiment or person to have that point of view. Maybe they are already beaten before they start? If you don’t have the balls to go out and get stuff, be of more value to others, you will never succeed anyway.

You can do it, we can all do it.. We just need to apply ourselves and use our personal inherent advantages to be of more value to others.

Vive la Resistance!!

Since Benny gave me such a lovely introduction I felt it only right that I post tonight. To be honest tho, I’m not all that sure what to write, lol. I haven’t quite broken into the design field, but I’m working my way there! It isn’t the easiest to do considering all that I know about the subject has been self taught. I can say tho, that being that it has been pretty much a long road of trial and error it makes the end result all that much better. Even the simplest of issues can be cause for celebration. Benny can vouch for that considering there have been plenty of times that I figure something out and the first thing I say to him is “I’m freaking amazing!” lol.

There have been plenty of times when I have come across something in Photoshop I don’t understand or some CSS code I can’t figure out. The one thing I can honestly say tho is that at no point have I ever just given up on it. Granted, I may step away from it for a bit, but never have I just pushed it to the side never to look back at it again. I think it’s cause it is one area that I know I can succeed in. Knowing people in the field would help a bit, but I’m willing to fight my way to the top. It just might take me a little longer. Regardless, I will get there and really, isn’t that all that matters?

I know trial and error can be frustrating.. very frustrating. It’s one of those learning processes that make whatever it is that you are learning stick. So the next time it becomes a littler easier, bringing you one step closer to what you want to accomplish. I know when I first decided to get into logos and Benny asked me to do his it wasn’t the easiest of tasks. The first one I did for him I literally had 20+ variations. Tho, most of that was due to his analness, not to my inability to create a good logo, lol. Eitherway, it pushed me to try harder, use different techniques and methods. Now, I can do things with Photoshop and CSS I never thought I’d be able to and it feels amazing to see my work being used knowing that I did it all on my own.

Of course, there are some sites that have helped me along the way. LogoPond is a good one for getting different ideas, but just for that. No copying! That’s hard work and no one deserves to get their work stolen. Jacob Cass usually has some helpful tips and tricks for logos, as well. If you want something more for vector programs, such as Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw you can check out Vectortuts or for more of a web development area Nettuts+ can be helpful. ;D

Anyway, I’m off to sort thru some CSS codes.

Keep Creating.
