Iain Foxall: an insperational speach
Its Friday 12th March and we are being given a lecture by one of the founders of foxall associates, Iain Foxall. We have been here for 50 mins and so far I don't know what the aim of this lecture is. I'm surprised to see a graphic designer who fails to give us quality photos. there is an awful bland colour pallet being used for this presentation and the rhythm of the photos doesn't seem to change at all.
During the introduction of this lecture we were told that this would be an inspirational talk about how you can work in industry doing anything you enjoy doing. so far its hard to see what we are looking at, there is no clear line ever drawn between the artists work and things he uses for inspiration, aka stuff he found on google. Also the artist here considers himself an illustrator, yet there is a distinct lack of illustrations being shown. im not seeing this guys love in his work if thats the case. So how does he plan to tell us we can make money off what we want to do when he isn't.
His words are often getting lost under the mumbling of his monotone voice. I start to notice I'm not the only one fidgeting in my seat. Many students have pulled out sketchbooks and seem to have lost all interest. There is someone laughing with an awful, forced and over the top laugh........ *groan*.
I'm sure this guy is a nice person, it shows. Yet due to his lack of charisma and poor presentation this inspirational talk has been lost into the box of bad lectures where I always think "I could have got some work done instead."
