Ronald J. Cala II Lecture at Thinking Creatively
Ronald Cala II’s talk at the Thinking Creatively conference was happily my second lecture of his that I have attended. Both times I have certainly found it to be completely worth my time. I was looking forward to it during the whole conference and was not let down at all.
Ronald’s lecture topic wasn’t just about showing off his work, unlike other speakers who feel this is only a forum for them to show of their work and talk and not enlighten. Ronald held my interest the entire lecture because he combined his work with the great topic of collaboration. That is the main way that he creates his work, with the exception of some very early work all projects he showed were collaborations with different artists for each project. I love knowing that by working together has added to his designs.
He spoke about how the best way to collaborate- have someone else do what you lack in. That gives you the best of both worlds, having your own design style and what it is you can improve on in your work. It is also the best way to network by making connections. If I ever get the opportunity I would love to collaborate with Ronald Cala. Overall his lecture was definitely a great experience, I love everything he has said to inspire us. If you have the opportunity to see a Ronald Cala II lecture, please do because you will not regret it and come away with a great outlook.
