Now ,I've struggled with the meaning of artist. So the word artists, I'm an artist, I'm a designer, I'm a graphic designer.
And then our emotions are all attached to that. And so we want to be more careful, more mindful and intentional in the words that we choose to describe things, because the words shape how we feel, shape our memory. I'm going to get right back to your question in a second, but words really are very powerful stuff. So I'm only going to take this tangent for a little bit. And there are a lot of people in the world that start to think, and when you talk about a neuro-linguistic programming, when you talk about cognitive behavioral therapy, that these words are very powerful and they're linked to how we act, we behave, our moods, whether or not we're happy or we're sad. But once we have words, we can describe this. And so that's it, because the other parts are like, they're soft, they're feelings, they're impressions. It's that around three is when we develop words and enough words to describe the world. Do you want to know what the answers are? Usually, people have the earliest memory around two to three years old." And she told me then why she thought this was true, because it's not that we don't know and have experiences between one and three.
And she asked me, "How old were you?" And I said, "I think I was three." And she goes, "I like to ask everybody this. She likes to ask all her patients this question, she asks, "What's the earliest memory that you have?" And I told her. And I was thinking about this because when I was seeing my therapist, she asked me this question. So she says, "If you don't like your reality, all you have to do is change your words." And so words can anchor us and can lift us up. And the more I'm learning about mindset stuff and psychotherapy, words are really, really powerful stuff. You guys have heard this before? The words you choose shape your reality. I don't know her name right now, so I'm not going to say it, but she says that the words you choose. I'm watching this video of a hypnotherapist from the UK. And it's a really strange thing to think that a word can be so powerful, right? It can be really powerful. I've come to realize that the labels that we assign to ourselves can liberate us, or it can imprison us in our own mind. I've always defined myself as a designer and more specifically, a graphic designer. I've struggled with the definition of artist for a really long time.

What else? And you guys, feel free to jump in on this. And I am agreeing with you so far, I think. And do you have definitions in your mind about what one is versus the other?Īnd then a designer would be more of a visual communicator. And so you're struggling with this idea of a artist and a designer. I'm dealing with this dilemma of being an artist, but also being a designer, and maybe my question is, do you think an artist can be a designer? Do you think a designer is an artist? We're here with Loyola Marymount students here, you guys are all seniors, and I'm happy to see you. The Q&A covers topics like the difference between art and design, demonstrating your value to clients, what to charge for your work and why there is truly nothing new under the sun. And in it Chris fields questions from a group of visiting students, seniors actually, from Loyola Marymount University. This episode comes from a live stream that we hosted via YouTube in early 2020.
Welcome to The Future Podcast, a show that explores the interesting overlap between design, marketing and business.
