Professional Project launch

So the professional project has launched, the day that seemed so far away when I arrived back at uni in October and somehow it's here. This morning I felt confident of my idea and the direction I was heading but now it seems that what I thought was going to work probably wouldn't after a good discussion with peers on the course.

I find myself lost on day one which is a very strange feeling, as this usually happens at least a week in! Though I think it's good that I've woken up and realised this is my opportunity to create the best piece(s) of my career so far. It's highly unlikely that I will have a chance as good as this to design whatever I want. I know that I want to produce a more illustrative based outcome, however I don't want to shut off other possibilities with this golden opportunity. My initial idea was to create a brief where I designed a Graphic novel, which I would create and develop characters, storyline, setting, layout, typography and overall design. I saw myself designing the whole thing, but I had sat back and asked myself; What do I see myself doing in ten years? Even five years!? Where would I want to be in the future? These questions I can't seem to answer, but I think I can answer them with the Professional project. Maybe that's what my project should be about, my journey to find the answers, my dreams and ambition.

Who knows... All I know is that I am going to push myself as far as I can because I don't want to look back and have regrets.
