March Exercise —day nine—<\/span> There is much for me to learn about adapting to the evolving field of graphic design. I simply don\u2019t know yet what it will be like to make a living as a designer during this decade of the twenty-teens. I\u2019ve given most of my creative life to that profession. There are things that I will do to keep pace with changes in the communication arts, but there are other things that I will watch pass by, with no intent to chase. On the other hand, I\u2019ve determined to accept the challenge of learning entirely new skills and frames of reference for an emerging phase of life. I\u2019m not prepared to disclose more about this now, but suffice it to say that I\u2019m currently a couple years into a learning curve that will enable me to generate income in a completely different way. It\u2019s something of which I\u2019ve always been capable, and in which I\u2019ve always held a strong interest, but advances in technology now make it feasible for me to follow my enthusiasm for developing such a new kind of expertise. I should be able to apply these new skills in earnest by the time I turn 60 years old. I expect it to become a vital part of my work-style into later years, and, when fully successful, to provide new levels of creative freedom. In actuality, there is no summer and autumn of life. There is only the promise of perpetual springtime.<\/p>\n Today’s sight bite—<\/span> The brave blooms of March —c-l-i-c-k—<\/span> that rear their purple heads when nothing else looks like spring.<\/p>\n Tomorrow—<\/span> An important observance . . . <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March Exercise —day nine— There is much for me to learn about adapting to the evolving field of graphic design.
