Advice for graphic design students . . .
‘The things your teachers tell you in class are not gospel. You will get conflicting information. It means that both are wrong. Or both are true. This never stops. Most decisions are gray, and everything lives on a spectrum of correctness and suitability.’
‘Realize that you are learning a trade, so craft matters more than most say.’
‘Libraries are a good place. The books are free there, and it smells great.’
‘Don’t become dependent on having other people pull it out of you while you’re in school. If you do, you’re hosed once you graduate.’
‘Everything is interesting to someone. That thing that you think is bad is probably just not for you.’
‘Think of every project as an opportunity to learn, but also an opportunity to teach.’
