Interior Design - Entry 32



Over the years, I have created these little floor plan layouts for dorms and apartments, thanks to Canva. If you didn't believe I had crippling OCD before, I sure this proves it. I love planning and designing and this has been such a fun way for me to organize my thoughts. 

My brother is attending SCAD in the fall for interior design and I always amazed at the talent designers have. They can look at an empty space and fill it completely in their heads in a span of five minutes. My brother has a natural gift for it -- I do not. I always bring my Canva floor plans to him and wait for the head shaking to begin. But, nevertheless, I enjoy it. It is so satisfying to take empty rooms and blank walls and transform it to a space that reflects me and becomes a home.

Exit Through the Gift Shop - Entry 14

Suzy Dotson Exit Through the Gift Shop - Entry 14 While this "Exit Through the Gift Shop" was a documentary exploring Banksy, Theirry, and their creative journey, I believe this was a true insight into the hold that power, confidence, and marketing can have on a project.  Let's face it -- Theirry was a crazy lunatic with a dream. There are lots of people out in the world with these great, wonderful, and innovative ideas, but the chances of actually seeing these projects come to life are slim to none. It takes a plan, organization, and people to make something out of the ordinary come to fruition. And that's what Theirry did. For some reason, people trusted him and his vision. For some reason, without any organization, he was able to pull off his art exhibit and make $1 million in sales in one week. That is the power of marketing.  It is crucial for artists to understand the importance of marketing. We often see marketing as advertising, spreadsheets, etc., but as arti

Digital Media Landscapes - Entry 36

Suzy Dotson Digital Strategy - Entry 36  This January, I took the Digital Media Landscapes advertising class with Nicole Haddad. To say this class was interesting would be an understatement. We played NYT connections every morning, visited Meow Wolf in Grapevine, and helped with the Tide advertising campaign competition. This class taught me a lot about the creative process. I had no idea about the time, depth, and wild lengths it takes to form a creative brief.  Here is a snapshot of Shit Girls Like to help us determine how to market to guys and girls simultaneously. If I told you that for a detergent campaign, you would probably have no idea. But that is the creative process -- connecting two crazy, outlandish ideas together in order to form insights about your target market.  I owe Nicole a lot for this class. She taught me that no idea is too crazy, no answer is ever wrong in brainstorming, and the more niche, the better. Before this class, I thought brainstorming was a quick, two-
