Clarifying Intent Workshop (Part 1)

At this stage the emphasis is upon being ambitious for the year ahead, getting myself to open up possibilities, declare my interests and generate my own agenda. In order to consider the type of designer/illustrator (or other professional) I might want to become, I must first dig deep and find out what drives myself personally by answering the 8 provocations in the following:

1. What makes you happy?

2. What do you enjoy?

3. What is meaningful to me?

4. What am I good at?

5. What do you fear?

6. What triggers you?

7. Who are you influenced by? What are you influenced by?

8. What causes, policies, or charities do you feel strongly about, and support? Why?

Examples

Ms. Sue-Jane also shows a few example of works which tells their story/context based on an interest, a habit, an expression, a motivational message or a purpose to someone.
