Just finished my first assignment for my intro to graphic design class, a mood board. I'm a 44 year old college undergrad with no savings, little means of income, and a 30 year mortgage, but I'm still here and still working forward. I was asked to generate 25+ adjectives that describe me and the 2 of them that I used to develop the mood board were "anxious" and "persistent". Needless to say, the mood board turned out a little bit weird. More art than design, hard to read, but bristling with a sense of anxiety and determination. We'll see how this goes over in class tomorrow morning at 8 am. Think kindly of me, I'm an artist by nature, I don't know how to function in the civilized world.
