Create Type - The Producer
Strong leadership skills, ability to make things happen
Balancing productivity with purpose
"The PRODUCER is the quintessential “doer” of all the creative types. People-oriented, analytical, pragmatic, and dynamic, you have a highly creative nature that’s balanced by a grounded realism and “get it done” attitude. In your eyes, an idea has real value only when it’s turned into something that others can enjoy and benefit from.
Highly goal-oriented and results-driven, you pursue your desired outcomes with a laser-like focus. You derive great pride and satisfaction from your ability to implement ideas, and you find joy in the process of creation with all its ups and downs. A natural organizer with an ability to motivate and inspire others, you gravitate to collaborative and leadership roles. You know how to make everything, and everyone, work together to see a project through to the end.
Along with your intellectual prowess and strong work ethic, your greatest strength is your ability to keep a cool head and single-pointed focus as you work through any and all challenges that arise during the creative process. But while you’re keeping your eyes on the prize, don’t get too fixated on results. Your greatest challenge is anchoring your productivity in a deeper sense of purpose. You’ll tap into your true creative depths when you can tune into the voice of your intuition and use it as a source of guidance."

"The ENFJs optimistic outlook toward social relationships is a burden to them at times. When external conflicts affect a group, the ENFJ is likely to assume responsibility. Their ability to empathize then turns into a liability. ENFJs, when over-identifying with the pain of others, will loose sight of their own concerns and interests. Their idealism can also be the cause of some distress when their assumptions are unable to weather the winds of reality. Fantasized relationships rarely translate into reality and even the best charismatic leader encounters unexpected resistance.
Like all NFs, ENFJs will disassociate themselves from stressful situations in an effort to protect their sense of well-being and togetherness. The ENFJ, however, will repress the unpleasant side of life only to have to face it later in an intensified form when it explodes from its hiding place. It can manifest itself as fits of anger, sudden outbursts, or emotional explosions. Often the ENFJ's body will reflect pent-up stress by manifesting various physical symptoms that will erupt unexpectedly."
I agree a bit with the results of those tests. The last projects that I brought to the "life" were built on exactly one main point - to learn more from everyone. Each time I got the impression that I was learning something new from a friend, from a stranger, from a lecturer. It really helped me to get my projects done to the end. When you are in the middle of the road and do not know which way to go all the same, it is easier to ask a stranger and trust fate.
Although this is not very good, one gets the impression that one's own self is beginning to be absent. At such moments, you begin to think that you will have to take responsibility for yourself and stop asking.
When it comes to important things, assignments, studies or simply goals that need to be achieved, it becomes easier for me to live. Sometimes it feels like I can't sit still, in a one place without any business. If I am not busy with anything, then I am procrastinating and degrading. But if I'm all in business and I have no time to sit - then that's another matter. A different person wakes up who can stay awake for several days just to work more productively and complete all projects faster. This way, every time projects are completed a little ahead of schedule, there is time to praise yourself and enjoy everything.
Sometimes I remember the time spent in the walls of the music college and I feel uncomfortable. I practiced and studied 8 hours a day to become one of the best. When I became one of them - I was the concertmaster (2nd person after a conductor) of a symphony orchestra, the first violin of a quartet and even an advisor to a main professor, I cold-blooded towards classmates. It didn't matter to me whether it were friends or not, the main thing was that all the tasks that the teachers and professors assigned to me, and I to my classmates, were completed on time and in perfect order. It seems this is called perfectionism. A terrible word that sometimes leads to the loss of friends.
Theme 1 / What do you enjoy?
I enjoy it when my work is 100% done. I like the realization that people will see and be able to appreciate my work for the real. I am more content with the finish line than with the process itself. Making a plan for the upcoming tasks and works, so that it can be completed with precision on the deadline.
Theme 2 / What do you fear?
I think from childhood I was afraid of condemnation from parents, friends, strangers. After all, it is much easier to cope with responsibilities, knowing that you will not be condemned, but on the contrary, they will support you instead. Fear of being condemned, rejected, misunderstood. Many children in childhood are waiting for their parents to praise and say "What a fine fellow you are!" But when you, in principle, have never heard such words, those complexes I mentioned above arise.
Theme 3 / What do you want from the course?
I really expect from the course that it will infect me with energy and some crazy challenges in order to stop being afraid of something and recharge with a courage for the upcoming work and projects. When you are constantly poked and pushed “do this task, and this, make a presentation, learn a new program,” you automatically stop paying attention to fear. You just get used to the bustle around, stop paying attention and in a moment you understand that you are no longer afraid. The course, in my opinion, will be so. Very busy, filled with tasks and new experiences.
Theme 4 / What can you offer the course?
I would really like that before graduation, on this course, we were given the opportunity to really work with a real client. It would be easy under the guidance of lecturers. Since, for 2 years we studied the principles of design, practical work, but never worked with real clients. How to negotiate, how to take orders, what type of orders are there and how they should be fulfilled. No matter how good specialists we leave the university, there will always be fear of the first client and order, because we have not done this before and it is scary too.
Theme 5 / Where do you want to be/what do you want to be doing two years from now?
To begin with, I would really like to work as a graphic designer in a good company. Perhaps this is an advertising company or a branding company. Understand how the system works, what kind of people you face and how you get out of critical situations. But after a couple of years, I would like to find my destiny in this area and understand who I am as a designer. Come up with something of my own, find a muse, own business, albeit small. Come up with something that hasn't happened yet. I don’t know what I’m talking about yet, but it must be something exciting. Something from which I will wake up every day and run to the computer for work.
Theme 6 / Which designers / illustrators provide a context or inspiration for the type of work you want to do?
Stefan Sagmeister
David Schwen
David Milan
Dana Tanamachi
There are many other designers who grab my attention. But what I love the most is the work of these cool graphic designers. I would really like to try to create this kind of projects, images, 3D figures. My skills in various programs still need to be worked out, but I am not giving up. All the same, sooner or later, I may be able to say "Yes, this is my work/project and I am proud of it!"
Theme 7 / What current issues might graphic designers need to focus on or address?
Whether we’re aware of it or not, design surrounds us, and can be found in the tiniest of places and items. Take a look at the book sitting beside you, the phone in your hand, the the sign outside your window, the website you are browsing. All of these items have been carefully and thoughtfully executed by designers. Design helps us engage, it keeps us connected to the world, it helps us navigate our way through physical and digital spaces.
Design is used to communicate, depending on who we are – it can be influential by understanding our behaviour and demographics. It has the power to persuade and empower our decision making process. Designers should pay attention to political, social issues. Every day there are different situations and conflicts that can be avoided, or can be turned into a revolution. The main thing is to use the weapon correctly.
Theme 8 / How would you define bad design or illustration?
I don't like mediocre work. If I see an illustration of a dog, I can say that it is just a dog, without meaning, without life, without an idea. But if this dog has something unusual, its own unforgettable trait and some kind of story behind the curtain - then I will love this dog. For example PIXAR'S creation the cartoon "SOUL". A very touching cartoon, with its own subtext and meaning. The parallel world in this cartoon is shown in a very minimalistic and abstract way. But its meaning is great! I just recently read that the Gods of the parallel world in this cartoon is a reflection of Pablo Picasso's later works with light. Very creative, very beautiful and deep.
