Sometimes people are really stubborn. I generally knew this but I now face it every week in college. Okay, it's this professor we have in Graphic Design Applications course, who's really
STUCK on his preference for handmade work. I got this form the very first time we had class but I didn't think he would be so rejecting and blindfolded to everything he didn't like, that is, everything that is made using design programs like Illustrator or Corel. Well, as a person I generally like attention and I was really mad the very first time he didn't pay any to me because I made my projects using a computer. Okay man, you like handwork but can't you just
REALISE that not anyone is capable -or even likes- this way of working on a project? Personally, I consider most of the handmade posters etc. very childish-looking and quite unprofessional. I don't reject them. It's just that I like the computer-based ones more. If I was a professor, I would never neglect somebody that didn't work the way I wanted. It's so immature and stupid. You have to give attention and feedback to everyone. I'm paying you to do so, after all!
Just to give you an idea of it, yesterday he made us make a poster in classroom using
ONLY hand -no computers were allowed of course because he asked us to leave our work when we would leave (we
DID have computers in class and he COULD take the files in his usb-stick but he just wanted us to make the project
HIS WAY).
I guess that the root of the problem is that we tend to keep old people as professors eternally in the institutions. Young people have fresh ideas and I believe that we should generally cope with the new technologies of our era. Any hallucinations that we could maintain the old era for ever are really of no use.
This was just a statement I had to share with you because I feel I'm drowning when somebody tries to muzzle my creative thoughts.
Stay beautiful!
