branding reading
The Brand Called You(collin)
selling the sizzle, the whole time reading this article i was thinking about "drop it like it's hot" by snoop dog. the article focuses primarily (easily deducted by the title) on self branding but not how to develop your self brand but how awesome it is to have a recognizable self brand. Something that is recognized as well as a popular well known branding, i.e. obey, dooney and burke, etc. to have a self image that everyone recognizes. to be honest that would take a lot self promotion and a attitude that no one could ever resist. from what I've learned its hard to get your name out there just from your work, and having a great attitude can only get you so far. sometimes having such a loud brand persona can cause the person to seem fake. that may not be the truth about the person but they come off as a little fake.
i didn't get much other than having a well recognized brand would be dope, and i agree it would be but i think for branding of yourself is sorta a built in thing that shouldn't supersede the person the brand is about. in terms i think is easy to understand the brand should be the fresh paint job on a car, as long as it doesn't take away from the curves and the beauty of the body it is perfect. the brand should only be a nice intro into your work or self, it shouldn't over do it.
Self branding Part II
In attempting to start to concisely brand myself I continue to make changes and try to better my resume, cv letters, bio, etc.

Frank Chimero Response
Word of mouth is not always for me.
I believe in experience, people make decisions based on experiences
they have had. We shape ourselves and skills through learning.
Chimero made a point to say that we lean and respect what we learn
from out professors, our guides for what is right and wrong. I agree
we should pay attention to what they have to say, they have either
learned it or experienced it themselves, however I feel that the only
way I have ever gotten better is through experiencing things first hand.
It is similar to how we are to develop identities for others, how can
we truly brand someone if we do not experience some aspect of their
life? Some of the best designs have come about by truly getting to
know the subject, not just slapping some trendy hip design and calling
it good. Chimero is on point about how the aesthetic does fade away
but the initial idea or reasoning is the only thing that stands. I agree
with this point the most. I think a refreshed experience can always
bring enlightenment to something that may not have been apparent
before. I think I make great eye contact when interacting with others.

Goals For Myself
I haven't spent much time recently thinking about specific goals for myself, I presume
it is time to really start figuring out what I really want out of life.
Some short term goals I have made for myself for the next year consists of:
1) Build portfolio experience that reflects myself and my work.
2) Build a web presence, site, that shows my skill as a designer.
3) Really sort out what makes me happy in design. Branding? UX? MX?
4) Apply for Jobs at firms or places that fit that meet my wants.
5) Connect my work to the automotive world, Start to connect my two passions.
6) Make a video that represents my work and myself.
I also have the want to just make myself better also. I know working at a firm has a wonderful effect on myself. I just want my work to be up to par as the professionals I will be working with. My long term goals are very important to myself, looking to be within 4-6 years.
These longer term goals consist of the following;
1) Find a firm and do work I'm happy with.
2) Go abroad and work with a different type of designer, other than American's.
3) I want to learn as much as I can from other design firms across the pond.
4) I want to become a SR. or VP of creative/art direction at a firm.
5) Hone my skills as a designer in a whole.
6) Possibly do some Industrial design. I like building things so it is a possibility that in the future I will venture into the world of Industrial design.
Life is an ever-changing experience, I have never been one for thinking of the future. My best self is in the present, all I can do is better myself each day I spend on this planet. Its tough thinking about things that could change so easily, a simple event could change all my goals or wants. I however do know that I am passionate about Design, Cars, and interacting with others.
