1. Exchange Revised Statements of Practice with a colleague.2. Daydream and Write or Draw
You’re a graphic designer. You’ve received a statement of practice from a potential client and they’d like to commission your help with their portfolio, website, and perhaps a monograph. You’v received only this text but haven’t yet received any images of their work.
After reading the statement, would you like to work with them? What about their statement piques your interest? What kind of personality does their statement suggest? Do they seem humorous or serious, gregarious or silent, sarcastic or earnest, light or heavy, etc.?
From the description, can you imagine what their work might look like? Can you extraopolate or interpolate to describe the kinds of images you imagine? Are they spare, or lush, minimal or exuberant, messy or precise, forceful or gentle?
What disciplines or mediums do you imagine they’d engage? What kind of projects do you imagine they’ve completed? What kinds of collaborations or milieu might their work engage?
If you do get to assist with a monograph, do you imagine it will be important to document the act/action of performing the work in addition to the product of work? Can you imagine them at work? What activites might their work involve?
