Wag. don’t settle. Hanapin mo muna yung aesthetic na masaya ka para at least meron ng isa or dalawa na tapos na. Di yung gawa ng gawa tapos lahat blah.”

Considerable progress as of late - but not of the tangible, quantifiable kind.
1) Got a few AMAZING people to contribute to my DIY or DIE 100 people project. I am just about bursting with excitement really. :((
2) Sadly, my fller pages are looking very UN- “put together”… idk. :(
3) But in other news, I am possibly cooking up a really fun twist to the DIY or DIE 100 volunteers project - thanks to the suggestion of Sir Elbert, my thesis adviser.
Tomorrow I’ll most probably know if I’d be able to push through with it. It’s all about talking to the right people + intense negotiation.
I’m so super excited for everything though! I just feel like I don’t have enough time to do everything perfectly, down to the last excruciating detail - like how I’ve planned it out in my head.
But I carry on <3
Something thesis-related that I made.
You’re probably going: cut-out letters? K, now what?
I understand that this might seem more like a kindergarten-y class project to you than a senior thesis one, but hopefully when it all comes together into one hopefully (amazing) book, I’d be able to pull it off. Waaaait for it! :>
DIY or DIE: White Shirt Revolution

THIS is my thesis trailer. Made about three months ago with the help of my good friends. I’ve changed the logo and branding of DIY or DIE already, so this is not really updated, but I thought I should share with you my very first attempt of stop-motion-ing!

MORE ABOUT MY THESIS:
There is a white shirt.
There is the world.
Go make something.
DIY or DIE is a project that examines creativity and the creative process, using the white shirt as medium. It capitalizes on the idea that EVERYBODY is creative by the mere fact that they are capable of “create-ing” something.
It aims to showcase how different people create and the external factors that contribute to their expression of creativity, such as time constraints, workplace, materials, medium, and the environment.
