CIRCUMSTANCES, OFFENSE, BRAND LANGUAGE.

It's so beautiful here that I feel bad continuing to write about it. But I digress... 88º high and a light breeze. Today also included a mid-day walk with no sweat.

A frequent sight over the past two days.

The day started off with another morning meeting with D'Wayne...

Do better than yesterday: Consistency

Goal for today: Apply

Bruce Lee Thought #7: "Never stop moving." When he was fighting, he always had a consistent flow, not too fast and not to slow. He kept his opponent focused on him at all times making it so he was always in control.

Creative Process Thought #7: "Success comes from dedication and self-knowledge."

Creative Consistency Thought #7: SUCCESS. "To Hell with circumstances, I create opportunities." – Bruce Lee. Circumstances are excuses and as Vince Lombardi said, "Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit."

The boards and walls in the MLAB are starting to fill up.

After the morning meeting, the CMDs met with Mrs. Suzette to check-in and discuss a calendar of events and checkpoints for the rest of the course. After the check-in, the rest of the day was ours to continue to pull imagery and work on our global color palettes. The footwear designers were given the task of sketching out 12 unique ideas for their shoes. Seeing the initial sketches by the designers was inspirational for me and I was starting to imagine color and material combinations for each of the shoes.

A couple of the many swatch books available to us in the MLAB.

One of my favorite color and material combinations.
