Lately I’ve been looking around for a reputable arts school and I realise that I have two things to look at.

1. An arts degree is basically your portfolio + some advertising theory. Your portfolio is like your Masters’ thesis.

2. Wondering if a degree in business management (I get a huge tuition grant to offset the cost) is the way to broaden my arts education instead. The downside: there are only three universities to choose from + the courses offered doesn’t really apply to communication design + they are business/marketing courses.

Which is fine for going into design management later but I have a budget (less than $20,000) and will be paying for my own degree on top of my loan repayments every month. Further more, it’s a four year full-time course and I’ll have to resign from my job if I want to study.

I am busy lately with my projects. Being relatively new to the world of design, I have been half studying and half doing design work. This is on top of my own research and activities in pursuit of the 15 things on my list.

I have been reading up on self-improvement books lately and all the good ones say this:

1. Visualise what you want in detail: a house, car, wife, etc
2. Believe in it and yourself
3. Start acting the role of a person who has them
4. Your mindset changes upon acting and soon you will have them

God helps those who help themselves
