This week our assignment of the CD cover design is coming to an end. I have to admit that this time I did a very terrible job. Because I wasn't able to stick to my role as a leader, I failed to communicate well with my team members and I was very unhappy doing the drawings.
昨天我和小桃很認真地討論，為什麼我們最後會感受不到畫圖的喜悅，甚至畫不出來，我們試著從原來的小框框裡跳出來，回到老師最初說的，設計的最初要能說故事，我們的品牌是TROJAN，以牙買加音樂為主，其實這個品牌背後的故事是很驚人的，你可以想像一個殖民地的音樂登上殖民國的流行音樂金榜，而且剛開始這些唱片都是用很簡單的錄音系統製作，我就無法想像哪天台灣新移民的流行樂能夠讓台灣人也朗朗上口。
Yesterday I had an honest discussion with Momo about why we didn't feel the joy of drawing anymore, and in the end we even didn't know what to draw. We tried to rid ourselves of the box imposed on us and went back to the earliest message the tutors gave--tell a story with your design. Our record label is TROJAN, which releases Jamaican music. In fact, personally I find the story behind this label very amazing. Can you imagine the pop music of a colony landing the chart top of its ruling country? Besides, in the beginning the albums were made with very simple sound systems. I can't imagine one day we'll all sing the pop songs of Southeastern Asian immigrants in Taiwan.
離開畫室時小桃說了一句話：不管我們的努力有沒有用，至少我們用自己的方式詮釋。這句話讓我不再被困於過去這兩週的苦悶。對，我要高興地畫，畫我想畫的東西。
When I left the studio, Momo said, "Whether we'll use our images in the end or not, at least we interpret the label in our own ways." This sentence set me free from the boredom that trapped me during the past two weeks. Right, I want to draw happily and draw what I feel like drawing.
今天做了一些研究，覺得踏實多了‧‧‧
I did some research and felt so down-to-earth.
關於人生和藝術，我要學的還多著呢！
About life and art, there is so much I have to learn!
