How do you make a prefect circle?
Well there are a lot of ways you can make one; by using a compass, trace a ready –made perfect circle, etc. What I didn’t know is how hard it is to make one using adobe photoshop.
I woke this morning with a text message from Dionne; “Sarah come to school early. There are lots of changes to be done in the certifications” I thought I was done with the certification and that I only need the signatures of the head of MPD and Dr. Olaer’s. So I thought. Dionne said that they’ve got a call from the MPD (marketing placement department) that there are changes they want to be made in the certification. I was like “Oh No! Did I make a mistake in spelling or in the grammar? Did I forgot to put something or something wasn’t supposed to be there?” These questions I kept thinking on my way to school. I know I’m going to redo the whole certification because one mistake in one certification requires all of them for editing. So I went straight to MPD and asked what’s the problem in the certificates and guess what’s the problem. The logo of CEU and the school of sci-tech was not a perfect circle! Everything was ok except the logo. In my mind was, can you just slip that one out I mean what matters most is the content right? I guess perfection isn’t my cup of tea. The whole day while enrolling simultaneously, I try to create the logo a perfect circle. It literally took me the whole day of endless printing of draft samples and annoyingly disturbing Dionne who’s in the window for enrollment, asking the same question over and over again, “Is this a perfect circle?”
Prof. Joeven Castro a speaker from the pre-practicum of school of Sci-Tech, I recall his talk where he once said, “Don’t sweat the small stuffs.” To me, the logo in a certificate is basically considered a “small stuffs” because what really matters most is its contents right? But how can I not sweat the small stuffs when every little small detail is important! Now I’m confused! Or maybe I just don’t know what “small stuffs” are or how small “small stuffs” are. I can’t think of other small stuffs that I can just let go off or commit. Am I a perfectionist or perfection is what they expect out of me?
