Share Good Work

In Chapter 6 of Steal Like An Artist I gathered many important points that the author brought up that I can agree with. First things first I agree that college is a great way to have a captive audience. Soon after college and depending on the job you take, we will be learn that we don't always have so many opinions and people to rely on when editing work. School is a great way to gather ideas from others and learn other peoples processes. I agree that sometimes its beneficial not to have such an audience after school until you develop great work. You want people to see your work and pay attention to you when you're developing things people are jealous of. Once you start sharing those good works your network will grow much more. Another point that I can agree with is that sharing your stuff on the internet is beneficial. The more you share your passions the more people will feel closer to your work and your name will become memorable. 

I think that the internet is a great place for ideas. The author Austin Kleon writes that it can be an incubator for ideas. I think that what the author is trying to say is that its okay to copy other peoples ideas. That the internet is a great source for developing work inspired by things people have shared in the past. When the author says that having a public online presence can be a kick in the pants I think he means that it can be a way of knowing if your designs have evolved based on peoples comments. These comments can sometimes be nice and sometimes be bad. Many times though, they serve as a way of finding what people prefer and what you still need to work on.
