Day 13

Wednesday’s class feels like a cluster of emotions to me. Mostly because when I walked in, a minute before class was about to start Jimmy had already been discussing something with the class on the board. Making me feel dumb. Of all things he was discussing numbers with the class, binary numbers. When I finally sat down, I was confused an annoyed. It took me a good while for me to understand what this had to do with anything, actually that what I kept thinking in my mind. When it finally clicked in my mind that this had to do with communication I began to ease up. The binary process is a difficult thing, and this took Jimmy back to when he was an art student. I’m sure he had the same feelings about binary numbers as most of us did in the beginning. Lucky for us, this was a group effort, which really helped me out in understanding the binary process.

Communicating is something that we all need to do, its not just a job thing. When you are pissed you have to let some one know so that they aren’t around you. When you need help with something to need to communicate that as well so that you loose that overwhelming feeling. Jimmy has stressed many times that there are a lot of talented designers, but they fail when they have to explain and communicate with others. I am know realizing that I have to take my time when trying to understand something, so that when I explain it to someone else my answer wont be “because”. I can give a good response and that when I know that I am doing a good job.
