For my mind map of Here and Now, I had come up with a couple of words to explain the meaning behind it.

 

I first wrote "Progress" and explained how in the last couple of months, I made a major effort on my projects by improving the designs making them better with the help of new skills that I acquired from resources and tools I have come to familiarise with.

 

For "Learning" before I even started with the projects, I had expressed the interest in learning how to create artwork by artists on the internet, but I did not have the experience and resources to try it out. It would not be long until I finally got my first hand experience with Photoshop where I slowly got to learn the basics before quickly getting the hang of it almost instantly.

​

As for "Determination", it mostly consist on my mindset where I would struggle or think of negative thoughts but then manage to fight my way through by setting goals and accomplishing what was once a challenge now an achievement.

 

During the pandemic last year, I spent most of my time stuck indoors. It was not until I discovered about the gym in our apartment block that I immediately joined in. At the time, I thought I was only working out temporarily but I have now go there almost every day from there on. Not only did my time at the gym help me with staying fit, it provided me with a great sense of happiness by doing things I thought I cannot do but by pressing on I eventually managed to beat the challenges at ease.

 

For "Ideas", it all comes from the many art pieces I have created over the years on paper that I now wanted to transfer on newer mediums. In other cases, I would also make doodles when a new idea pops in my head. If I were to redraw the same object again on other doodles, It would peak my interest in actually creating it in another form of media.
