I’m sorry that my blog-writing has slowed right down. Reasons for this are varied, less free time (sort-of), more despair at global issues, but personally, critically, maybe just greater acceptance of my situation. I get incredibly frustrated, and disappointed by my personal situation, alone, wheelchair needing, and an inability to expect.
However, as ever, there is another way of viewing things. I am shocked less by negativity!
There are numerous positives of having a strong and reliable mindset (I am incredibly proud, as you are probably aware)! People may be less aware of the number of vital skills that I had learnt through my education and my passion for sport. Designers need to have incredible self-belief, determination, endurance, whilst remaining level-headed. Design was studied initially through my ‘Graphics GCSE’, then ‘Design & Technology A-level’, ‘Undergraduate Industrial Design and Technology BA’, and finally a ‘Graduate Certificate for Design of Visual. Communication’.
Endurance of a cyclist, may well be a key characteristic. Self-belief and determination are also needed in such sport. Faced with a challenge, I am now forced to use these skills. I am confident, because I know that I have them ;)
I know that I have an incredible amount of experience of cycling, and studying independently. The experience of calling on such self-belief, determination and dedication, has proved vital for me!
My ‘PG logo’, was created in 2006. Initial ideas and development of different concepts could be traced back to GCSE level! As work with the Green Party peaked in 2016, it developed further still!
It did used to alarm me, as a student… how on earth could I dedicate my life to both design, and cycling? Ok, I’ve never had to face this problem, but now I need characteristics from both disciplines!
