Homework 6

Create what you like, not what you know.  Kleon wrote a sequel for Jurassic Park based on what he liked and wanted to see. He didn't base it off of something he already knew. He began writing fan fiction. All fiction is fan fiction because you base it off of something you are a fan of, something that you like. I really like the questions Kleon asked at the end. "Think about your favorite work and your creative heroes. What did they miss? What didn't they make? What could've been made better? If they were still alive, what would they be making today? If all your favorite makers got together and collaborated, what would they make with you leading the crew?" You will pick your favorite thinkers because you like their work. All of these questions help guide your thoughts.

If I re-wrote my life, I would be working more with animals, possibly even be a vet. I would still have a love of art. In the next few years I would work in a shelter, rescue, or animal hospital and design things for them like their website, advertisements, posters, and flyers. I would be able to combine the two things I love. It would be a dream of mine to double major in Vet Tech and Graphic Design but they are both very demanding majors. I don't even know if anyone has ever tried to major in those two subjects before.

The two makers I would work with are Kyle Cooper and Walt Disney. Kyle Cooper has a grungy look to his work and he does not use many bright colors. He usually uses more muted colors. Walt Disney is known for creating Mickey Mouse. With the collaboration of Kyle Cooper, Walt Disney, and I leading the team, I present Grunge Mickey Mouse.
