I had a strategic communications professor who at the start of the very first class told everyone if they currently were not the type of person who goes home each day and spends an hour using photoshop or if they didn’t bring their computer with them to the terrace to work on mock ads or if they didn’t have a journal with them at all times to draw ad concepts, then they weren’t passionate (advertising) designers and should be sure they are taking the class for an alternative reason, a different pursuit.
Friends upon friends of mine state something is their passion (gaming, writing, football, design, etc,.). Yet, when I ask if they’ve done their passion lately, they’re response is they haven’t been home or they left their computer somewhere or there wasn’t any time.
I have to agree with my professor that if you haven’t done your passion because of any of those reasons, then it’s not really your passion. Not saying you shouldn’t do it at all, merely be sure you’re doing it for a different reason, one worth doing it for.
