My mind has been wandering towards the PQ exhibit design lately. I only say wander because of the three other shows that I'm in the midst of with people who think my devotion should be only to them. No, that's not always the case, but I do throw myself into things a little too wholely some of the time.
Tom e-mailed us for headshots this past Thursday. We needed them in two days. This sent Collin and I into a little fit of discussion and then off to create something. What would you expect to get as a headshot from a designer? Let your mind wander. Though we followed the rules, we didn't want to at the start.
I always find that step before putting pencil to paper to be the most difficult and that is where I am at the moment. My favorite part, the research is over, the mulling has happened. Now the next place to go is to put my work out there for my co-designers to look at and respond to.
I have images in my mind. Most of which are probably beyond our means, but if I never get them out, how will I know?
I went to the Guggenheim and spiraled my way upwards through Frank Lloyd Wright's life of design. The night before I gaped at Richard Avedon's eons of fashion photography. Now its time to create a space to display our work, our colleagues work. When you put it that way, there's a bit on our shoulders now, isn't there?
