The system is a mind opener but just prepares you for working with others
who are also initiated into it.
The hardest thing I find is working at designing with folks who have never
had the crit experience, even in its friendly forms, and who have never
learned that the most important tools of the trade are tracing paper, an
eraser and the waste basket.
Most of the folks I work with in this isolated and independent place have no
academic background, and the idea that
there may be more than one way of looking at a problem is often hard for
them to
comprehend. Any suggestion that an idea of theirs might even be discussed,
tends taken as a personal afront. I discovered I had to be very sensitive
to their ways of thinking and feeling to keep
their enthusiasm and support and still get on with the work.
