Also, not technically docs BUT Dopesick and/or Painkiller are solid series about oxy/Purdue Pharma

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I donāt feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre ā and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background ā come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Going to the movies rocks. this was honestly such a hard question. This isnāt exactly the ~best~ movie but it is a great movie to see in a theater
From like 19-20 going to the Landmark in Westwood to see the Room with my friends rocked. The Room is such a funny bad movie and itās even better at this theater because of all the canned responses the audience has to the shit happening on screen. its similar to how campy people get with Rocky Horror Picture Show. People throw plastic spoons and loudly jeer at the movie. occasionally Tommy Wiseau and maybe Greg Sestero will show up and you can take a pic. Highly recommend pregaming and then going with your friends at least once
sometimes a specific audience for it will suck but overall it was always pretty fun.

Ask a few people for feedback. A few rounds of critique can be soooo helpful. Donāt ask what they like about your workāāI likeā¦ā is not helpful and too subjective. Ask what WORKS (and what doesnāt work) about your design.Ā
Frequently step away. Every time you make progress, take a break so when you start working again youāre looking at the design with fresh eyes. Staring too long can push you further into the rut. I often find that doing something completely different during the breaks can reset your brain a bit. Plus breaks are just nice in general we love a break!
Look at inspo! Consumešthatšcontentš. Taking some time to browse other designersā work (students, peers, contemporaries, but also the greats) can give you some great ideas, though what I find most helpful is keeping mental notes or jotting down what makes each design successful. Which elements are working? How do they convey information? Even if their work isnāt your personal style there are still gems to be mined.Ā
The simplest solution is often the best. I believe it was Michael Beirut who said this (donāt quote me on it though thereās a good chance Iām wrong lol), donāt try to be different, just try to be goodā¦ or something like that. If your design is āgood,ā it will inevitably be ādifferentā because YOU are what makes it unique. You donāt have to reinvent the wheel!Ā
If you ever need a second pair of eyes I would definitely be down to help!Ā
