anyone but you (2023, will gluck)

it totally feels anacronic, i don´t recall watching such a stupid cis-het romcom in a cinema in my whole life, this surely feels like a product designed to be half watched on television on your aunt´s house, but hey, i laughed my ass off (and the whole cinema did too), and glenn powell is a screwball genius that would certainly fit in a forgotten leo mccarey film. will gluck strikes again!

It happened one night

Beautiful old movie [1934] that seems to be the blueprint for a lot of commonly used tropes throughout later media. (Enemies to lovers, pretending to be a couple, class / status division, forced proximity, etc.) It’s very fun, very cute, and I very much recommend to anyone in need of a movie to watch

Imagine me & you

It’s really nothing crazy but it was probably one of the first lesbian rom coms I watched and I fell in love with it!! I might even consider it one of my comfort movies 🍿

collaborate, step back, analyze the work of others, & K.i.s.s. (keep it simple, stupid!)

Ask a few people for feedback. A few rounds of critique can be soooo helpful. Don’t ask what they like about your work—“I like…” is not helpful and too subjective. Ask what WORKS (and what doesn’t work) about your design.  Frequently step away. Every time you make progress, take a break so when you start working again you’re looking at the design with fresh eyes. Staring too long can push you further into the rut. I often find that doing something completely different during the breaks can reset your brain a bit. Plus breaks are just nice in general we love a break! Look at inspo! Consume👏that👏content👏. Taking some time to browse other designers’ work (students, peers, contemporaries, but also the greats) can give you some great ideas, though what I find most helpful is keeping mental notes or jotting down what makes each design successful. Which elements are working? How do they convey information? Even if their work isn’t your personal style there are still gems to be mined.  The simplest solution is often the best. I believe it was Michael Beirut who said this (don’t quote me on it though there’s a good chance I’m wrong lol), don’t try to be different, just try to be good… or something like that. If your design is “good,” it will inevitably be “different” because YOU are what makes it unique. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel!  If you ever need a second pair of eyes I would definitely be down to help!
