I’m REALLY<\/em> excited about going off on my trip. 7 Days!!!\u00a0 But who’s counting?<\/p>\n

I’m looking forward to seeing family, watching my boy explore a different part of the world (even though he’ll forget most of it)<\/em>, eating great food (getting sick from eating too much of it)<\/em>, and just getting off this rock of an island.<\/p>\n

From a design perspective I always look forward to trips out of the country like this because I almost always come back with new ideas. Seeing how graphic design is applied in another part of the world is awe inspiring, especially in a big world city like Hong Kong where both East and West cultures have collided for so many years.<\/p>\n

I remember a teacher once in a college graphic design class discussed how difficult it would be for a designer to pick up and start designing from scratch in a new country, because a designer had to understand his\/her own market. I can agree with that to a certain degree, but it doesn’t mean I can’t observe stuff going on outside of my box and then bring new ideas back that would push the envelope back home right?<\/p>\n

I got my camera with me too…so time to take my newly learned manual shooting skills there and see what kind of shots I come back with. Macau will be a cool experiment because I took shots there when I first picked up a DSLR, and now a few years later I want to see if I can come back with better stuff?<\/p>\n

OH this is going to be so fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
