Ep 6: Clouds And Criticism

At some point in our creative journey we all have come across this thought, "What is Art and what is Design, and how they are different?". In this episode of "For You" we gonna see how Art and Design are different from one another and also we gonna see how they are may be the Same.

We spent so much time discussing about our Design and Art work that we sometimes forget to see and admire the background that holds that design. You can call it White Space or Negative Shape but basically this words mean is the Background on which the Art Work is been made. And today's episode of "For You" is Dedicated NOT to the art work but the Background, that holds the Art Work Together.

As an Artist, for all of us "Criticism" is our day in and day out. And when you have created something from your inner most existential reality, sometimes taking Criticism is tough. In this Episode of "For You", i guess we will share this pain together for a while. 

As an Artist and an Creative Professional we all are walking the same journey, the journey to be able to express our self honestly. And in doing so we go through years of training and practicing of our craft serious and sincerely. And today in this episode of "For You", we gonna look deeper in the subject of Self expression. And will ask the Question, Can we really Express Our Self Honestly? Ever?.

Who is a true Master? and What is the highest level of attainment one can acquire in any craft? "Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."  by Pablo Picasso. In our professional journey we all want to become masters of our field. We want to attain highest skill set possible.  And to be honest being an Amateur feel Demoralizing sometimes. So this episode is an attempt to go deeper in the question, that "What is the highest level of attainment one can acquire in any craft?" 

This episode is inspired by one of the legends of Graphic Design, Milton Glaser. He used to say that a great design has a sense of Secrecy in it, a sense of Mystery. It Hides stuffs for people to Seek. In this episode of "For You", we are together diving deep in this idea, to see the profoundness of the game of Hide and Seek.

In your creative journey, are there days when it feel empty? When you feel you don't have any great ideas anymore? And does that happen quite often? well, then welcome to the club. That the day in and day out of a Creative Professional, "Dancing in the Dark without any clue". And that's my friends is Writer's Block. Writer's Block is one other most distressing states for any Artist. And in Today's Episode, we will try to have a deeper walk in this Arena.  And let me be honest, we may get some clearing, but there aren't any answers here.
