Is it possible to avoid rejection?
Hardly anywhere, as Adrian
Shaughnessy proves in his article
and the student group shows on
their poster, with a word reality.
Shaughnessy warns us about
blandness in design, caused by the
fear of facing rejection. For me, his
comments had a comforting effect, as
he reminded, that practising design
isn’t easy. Nonetheless, the fear of
rejection shouldn’t stop us from
taking risks and making mistakes.
The poster shows students’
initial thoughts about the text.
I believe they have summed it up
accurately, referencing both the
general problem and more current
phenomenon, like social media.
