At the end of the year, I invariably think about how the year turned out, and what I'd like to do differently in the new one. I don't usually make resolutions like "go to the gym more" (which should be permanently on there anyway, as a given, right?), but positive things I'd like to learn and do and make.
I thought I'd share mine here and if you want, please share some of yours in the comments.
Some of my digital resolutions for 2011:
Learn Photoshop a bit deeper / search out the most efficient techniques for the things I do
Take a photography, design, or printing-related workshop
Co-teach a workshop at the lab
Make at least one book of new work
Enter more photography shows/competitions
Go to more art shows & openings
Connect with more people via the blog
Make video tutorials for the lab
Find new ways to support the fellow artists in my life
Invent and design an app useful for our clients
The best part is forgetting about this list, and re-reading it many months down the road, and realizing how many have actually been accomplished. If I don't make, one I miss out on that feeling.
Wishing you a wonderful holiday season and a great and successful 2011.
All the best,
Lys
