Get a degree in Graphic Design

I got accepted! Ages ago, actually! In about two days I will start my program at AI and I’m very excited, but nervous as well.

Got in the local college for a diploma in graphic design. I’m still hoping for that school but in the mean time, I’ll pass my time in this school. Use their supplies, their equipment, maybe learn some production stuff. But I don’t have high expectations. lol.

It’s pretty cheap though ($3000/year) so I don’t mind parking there until things align and I can move on to that school. It opens up some opportunities and that’s all I really want right now in the mean time.

I have no expectations whatsoever though that any of my credits here would transfer to that school. I’m willing to become a freshman again just because I really believe that school will help me become the best damn designer I could be.

I’m applying this month to the Art Institute in Boston. I’m crossing my fingers that my not-so-great high school grades will not lose me this great opportunity! Let’s hope they’ll focus more on my much better junior and senior year and community college grades!

Five to go! I’ve completed my first quarter of the very fabulous and competitive graphic design program at Seattle Central Community College. My accumulative GPA was 3.73… straight A’s, with room for growth. I’m so excited, and have discovered this passion for design I never knew I had. It’s amazing—my creativity is being tapped into on a daily basis and my skills are being honed.

Starting my degree this September… can’t wait! Started with animation but found it too restricting and I was crap at animating bouncing balls. I would really like to illustrate children’s books but I also would like to be able to make a more secure living off of art, and hopefully to be able to work from home.

I think I want to be an illustrator…
I had such an embarrassing run at TAFE and I don’t really want to remember it.

hahahah I just saw a thing I posted 3 months ago!! wow life really does go soo fast!! oh my god! anyways.. I GOT ACCEPTED hahaha.. to the university with the good program!! so.. its so funny.. three months ago I was freacking out.. but right now.. im relax.. I mean Im still soo scare.. but My worries have changed.. anyways hope to get my graphic design degree.. and do some cool stuff..

I earned one of my Associate’s Degrees in Graphic Design. I love it. It brought out my creativity, self-expression…it is tough, demanding work though. It is important to find your own way of expressing design, be original…push the envelope! Also, learn how to accept criticism of your work constructively and know that what you originally create for someone often ends up very different than you first envisioned. It will help tremendously for you to read every GD magazine and book you can get your hands on, practice, practice, practice, talk with others in the field, become members of graphic design organizations, always be a student of the business to stay fresh and current. Go for it!

I started my graphic design course this week! Orientation day was followed by the day I had my first drawing class. That was bad, I have been drawing since before I can remember, and it was impossible to adhere to the restrictions of, for example, not being able to draw the subject cube with tone. not allowed. We haven’t “reached that stage yet”!!! AAHH!!
BUT that’s totally outweighed by the best day of all, friday, when I used Indesign for the first time. basically, you have to be experienced with indesign or you’re not in the game. Two years minus one week to go before I enter graphic design as a junior!!!!!!!!
