Final Posters

Here are the finalized posters for my graphic communication class. I like the middle one. Of course these will never be done cause there is always something to change. I can see a few things needed to be change as I look at them right this second.

My Personality

So, today in my typography class, as we were discussing my work the topic of personality types came up. My teacher gave me links with information about personality types as a guide for my project. I took at least 4 personality test and all of them had the same result stating that I am a INFP. Heres a little information about my personality type. Its disturbing because its true.

As an INFP, your primary mode of living is focused internally, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit into your personal value system. Your secondary mode is external, where you take things in primarily via your intuition.

INFPs, more than other iNtuitive Feeling types, are focused on making the world a better place for people. Their primary goal is to find out their meaning in life. What is their purpose? How can they best serve humanity in their lives? They are idealists and perfectionists, who drive themselves hard in their quest for achieving the goals they have identified for themselves

INFPs are highly intuitive about people. They rely heavily on their intuitions to guide them, and use their discoveries to constantly search for value in life. They are on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through the INFP's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help the INFP define or refine their own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - the INFP is driven to help people and make the world a better place.

Generally thoughtful and considerate, INFPs are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they have a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making the INFP a valued friend and confidante. An INFP can be quite warm with people he or she knows well.

INFPs do not like conflict, and go to great lengths to avoid it. If they must face it, they will always approach it from the perspective of their feelings. In conflict situations, INFPs place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on the way that the conflict makes them feel, and indeed don't really care whether or not they're right. They don't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes them appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, INFPs make very good mediators, and are typically good at solving other people's conflicts, because they intuitively understand people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely want to help them.

INFPs do not like to deal with hard facts and logic. Their focus on their feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgment. They don't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes them naturally rather ineffective at using it. Most INFPs will avoid impersonal analysis, although some have developed this ability and are able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for INFPs to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.

INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives.

INFPs are usually talented writers. They may be awkard and uncomfortable with expressing themselves verbally, but have a wonderful ability to define and express what they're feeling on paper. INFPs also appear frequently in social service professions, such as counselling or teaching. They are at their best in situations where they're working towards the public good, and in which they don't need to use hard logic.

Most of it is true, but there is one paragraph that I strongly disagree with. "INFPs have very high standards and are perfectionists. Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit. INFPs may have problems working on a project in a group, because their standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. In group situations, they may have a "control" problem. The INFP needs to work on balancing their high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, they will never be happy with themselves, and they may become confused and paralyzed about what to do with their lives." I am definitely don't have high standards or a perfectionist. And working in groups is really fun for me. I love listening to ideas and planning as a team. My goal is to be in a partnership or co-owner of a company/agency. I hate working alone which is why I always work with friends. Actually, in that same paragraph I do agree with this "Consequently, they are usually hard on themselves, and don't give themselves enough credit." I am usually hard on myself, I don't know why. I sometimes just feel that I am not up to people, career, etc. standards.

Here is a list of careers that this personality type might persue.

Careers

This lists represent careers and jobs people of your type tend to enjoy doing. The job requirements are similar to the personality tendencies of your personality type. It is important to remember that this is not a list of all the jobs possible.

Totally Forgot to Post

I totally forgot to post up pics from Brooklyn Art Under the Bridge Festival which is pretty much a art festival featuring various artist ranging from traditional to performance art. The event happened at the end of September, and it was actually really fun. I didn't get to see all of the exhibitions though, but there is always next year. :)

There were actual people wearing the knitting gear. I bet they were really cold that day.

Halloween is Coming Upon Us

Well, being a broke college student I've been trying to figure out what to do for Halloween. There is no way in hell I'm buying a costume, because, well, I'm broke, and I need to save my cash. So, what am I going to do this year you may ask? Well, I'm going to NYC Halloween Parade. It's pretty much a parade with floats, bands, etc. The only difference is that anyone with a costume can join in the parade. Of course since I won't have a costume I cannot join the march, but watching it will be fun. Here are pics from last years parade.
So, if you're ever in NYC and broke as a joke...just head on down to the Halloween Parade. :)

New Illustrations

Poster Designs

More posters done for my type class. Im lovin this field. :)

'Precious' Movie

To go along with a powerful movie, they created powerful movie posters.

The posters have a African American folk art vibe to them, which I love! :) I'm still trying to debate whether or not to go see this. I don't know if I can handle watching this. We'll see.

Sour

A girl in my motion graphic class showed me these music videos by this Japanese band Sour.

This just shows that you dont need special effects to make a video. Beautiful music, creativity, and of course good editing software is all you need to make a brilliant, fun, awesome video.
