art director's club meeting

I liked this guy a lot better then the last two. He was a lot more funny and entertaining even though he spoke in a very monotone voice. He did a lot things in his design career that I was really proud of like all the free work he did for charity. It was somewhat an inspiration after the death of his twenty-four year old son and the charity organization was called Joey's corner after his son. I've always wanted to do something to help in the great cause that all of us need to be a part of 'a debt to human kind' if you will. That I am so lucky in this world to have the heart and the courage to continue on despite the demons in my past and believe me there is a lot of them. And he being a Vietnam Vet and yet rising above his demons also felt the need to do something with the talent God gave him to better the world. I hope someday to do the same. And I am just so glad to have met someone who had been through that war and went on to do good things instead of staying in a state of self pity and sorrow. And I having been through a kind of war of my own sort of understand a little about where he is coming from and I don't plan to remain in my sorrow and pity over what has happened to me and over what I have done to the world or to myself but I hope to raise above that and do what is my passion against all odds. And if it is provided and even if it is not to share that passion with the world. If I decide for my passion to be graphic design or writing either way I will take his advice and follow his example. And that is what I took from his presentation. I'm not sure what everyone else got out of it. But beside some key points about the design process these things formerly mentioned are the things I plan to keep with me a long time.
