I can’t believe its already day five! We always begin class with an inspiration Bruce Lee quote followed by a significant event in sneaker history. Today’s quote is “Make at least on definite move daily towards your goal.” This quote is applicable as we began sketching today! D’Wayne expressed the importance of sketching to improve. Every sketch we do must be better than the previous sketch. We sketched the same style shoe 8x times to perfect our skills. Followed by this exercise, we had the privilege of meeting with two recruiters from 52 Limited – a creative and talent staff agency that place professionals in the work force. It was beneficial to hear the advantages of utilizing recruiting agencies and being open minded to taking a freelance or contract opportunities to get our foot in the door! We continued to expand our briefs and had the opportunity to meet with industry professionals and alumni Pensole students!
