Creating the list for my strengths and weaknesses.
I've started to create my list of areas where I excel and areas that often hold me back. This is just my first ideas for my list and i will probably add to a remove things off the list later on.
My list of strengths
I connect deeply with others’ experiences and emotions, which helps me create designs that resonate on a human level. Jung’s emphasis on understanding the "shadow self" is an example of this. Understanding others emotions can be a powerful tool in crafting meaningful design.
Staying true to my personal values, I always strive for authenticity in the art I create. This links directly to the Century of the Self documentary that Giddens mentioned, they talk about not letting external forces effect being your true self.
I’m often quite reflective, which helps me recognize when something I'm creating isn't quite up to standard, and helps me improve on something further. This links to Giddens' idea of continuous self-observation.
I'm good at trusting others ideas and collaborating without feeling the need to control every aspect of a project. Sort of similar to the "pure relationships" from Giddens text, where he mentions that collaboration is fundamental for creating strong partnerships.
