Vanity & Ego
Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration
Are you capable of being vain about your art & design?
More proud than vain. Generally if I like something that I’ve done, I will say I think its good but won’t prattle on and be annoying about it.
Do you have a healthy ego?
I think so, sometimes I can lack a bit of confidence.
What defines an unhealthy ego?
Negative or positive all the time.
When pride gives way to vanity.
When others want to change your ideas, do you get offended?
Not really, only if that person has no idea or knowledge on the subject.
I like getting other people’s ideas. Sometimes you need a fresh set of eyes to look at your designs. Its good to see how people react to your designs, to see if you have succeeded in conveying the right message.
Sometimes a customer might think something else would look better, even if you do not agree, you’ve got to give them what they want.
When you are asked for opinions on other’s work, do you compare it to your own?
Mostly not. It is what it is. If I like it, I might ask them how they did it and try and incorporate some of their methods into my own.
When you are asked for opinions on your work, do you compare it to others?
Yes, If I was influence by other people work.
If somebody plagiarised your work, would you be proud?
I’d be angry that they stole it or didn’t offer me any money.

Pride – justified feeling. Vanity blowing ability out of proportion

Yes, its polite.

Sometimes, but you wait until and appropriate time to say it and not just butt in.
Do you form opinions about others quickly?
Yes.
What percentage of your judgements about others talents are right?
80%
Do you have a strong belief in your personal ideas?
Yes, especially if I have a lot of knowledge or experience behind me, which contribute to the idea.
How do you evaluate your personal ideas over a period of time?
You may have what you think is a great idea overall, but sometimes after a bit of research and fact gathering, the idea may not be so good or achievable.
How flexible are you in changing your mind about the value of your ideas?
You may have an idea, but someone else could provide information or good advice which could change your idea altogether.
How flexible are you in changing your mind about the value of others’ ideas?
I may think someone idea doesn’t work, but I’m open to hearing their ideas on why they think it works.
Does hanging on to your old ideas block new ones?
Yes, you need to move on and try other things to be more unique, or vary your designs.
Are you slow or fast in moving on when an idea has burnt out?
A bit slow, sometimes your just don’t have enough time to keep coming up with new ideas and re-use the same idea. Sometimes you could mix elements of different ideas and come up with a new idea.
