Id like to share how over the last 3/4 years how my perspective on the world has changed now im more focused on marketing advertising and designing.

Particulary now how i have a tendency to analyze any advertisment i see

Ill give you a few examples…

Movies

3 Years Ago – Movie credits – Watch  movie – Movie ends.

Today – Movie credits – What font is that? Is it scalable? – Watch Movie – Movie Ends

——————————————

Free Time

3 Years Ag0 – Play video games, watch movie, browse the internet

Today – Read RSS feeds, watch news, discuss design on blogs

——————————————

Buses

3 Years Ago – Oooo that looks like a nice phone/ipod/laptop

Today – Thats not a good picture! – Why have they used that font? – They should have placed that there – Doesnt look neat – Oooo yeah the phone/ipod/laptop

——————————————

Websites

3 Years Ago – I think ill buy this dvd/game/magazine online and it will arrive tomorrow

Today – Wow i like the navigation – Nice colour scheme – This nowhere near complies with internet standards.

3 Years Ago – 0 Domains

Today – 10 Domains.

Having said all this i wouldnt change it for the world. I love how many new people ive met, things ive learnt and my time management has become alot better. I feel privileged to work with some of the people in the past and to produce a piece of work which you have created entirely on your own is very rewarding. Despite me now having what seems like OCD when it comes to marketing I love my work and will hopefully continue for a very long time.

Does anyone else have whats known as the “design eye”?
