Responsive...

I've neglected responsive up until this point. I've been finding it difficult to manage this module as well as all of the others.

I think what's stopping me with responsive is the professional nature of it all, and having to put yourself out there. The whole competition structure, selling yourself, being assertive, and deeming work as being submission-worthy is really stressful to me.

Talking to Teresa, she said to make the briefs work for me. Align them with my own interests. See them as challenges, and self-managed briefs rather than these overwhelming competition things.

The word competition makes me freeze up, and makes me think that the bar for the standard instantly goes through the roof. Competitions make it sound like something you have to labour over and shed a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get it done.

Does responsive have to only be competition-based/externally judged? Or can it include self-initiated work?

Things to look at: Graphic Competitions, Colour Collective, Ruskin Prize 2017, scout out my own projects, respond to articles...

I'm going to focus on this module during the break.
