After deciding to pursue this Learning Project, I realized it requires at least a few hours of my time and dedication each day. And though I said I lost my job the previous week, it wasn't a complete truth.

I still worked, and am still working, up until October 31st. For complete transparency, it's not like I have a full day of work ahead of me, but with some freelance tasks, and 1-2 hours of exercising each day, I quickly realized that my capacity for learning after a day of all that has shrunk.

And it's life getting in the way. And that's okay. So, How did I do on weeks 1 and 2?

Reading About History

My decision to start with the history of design was deliberate. I know that it wasn't the quickest way to learn design, but it was the most enjoyable for me.

I picked up the book I mention in my previous blog, called "Meggs' History of Graphic Design", and started reading it during my free time.

What tickled my brain the most were 2 things: Innovation and Interconnectedness.
