Is arts/design University worth it? I'm not sure...
I am now entering my 3rd (+ final) year of University. When I finish, I will have ~£50,000 worth of debt. So... is it worth the time, the effort and the money in order to get a degree?
This is an extract I had with a fellow design student, Raunak. I hope that it helps you to form your own opinion on the matter!

Falmouth Uni vs Willem de Kooning - How do they compare?
Просмотров 4614 года назад
Now that I have studied at both Falmouth Uni (UK) and Willem de Kooning Academie (NL), how do they compare? This is an extract from a conversation I had with a fellow design student, Raunak. Perhaps it will encourage you to take an Erasmus exchange too - I highly recommend that you do!

My design proposal was rejected by the client - again.
Просмотров 2544 года назад
Hi there - today I had a design proposal rejected by the client. My duty is to serve them... but it can be surprisingly emotional when they decide not to use your work in the way you imagined. In this video I break down why this rejection has left me feeling so de-motivated and frustrated.

Recording my routines every day in lockdown - what have I learned?

Am pretty confused on how to make a portfolio as i haven't really gotten any chances related to desigining. For someone with 0 experience how do I make a portfolio like I need to give a description about each one of the designs just like u did but I am just going to start making these designs without any specific reason or any work so how should I describe my work?? idk if u understood what I wanted to ask 😅 but at this point I feel like I won't be able to do this course even if i really want to do it 🥲

      Hi Ferran! I looked in a lot of Facebook groups (search ‘Rotterdam housing’ on Facebook) but these groups are mostly apartments looking to fill 1 bedroom, and I had already agreed to move in with 2 other international students, so we found a whole apartment to ourselves via a private landlord. There’s not really an easy way to do it - you just need to look at lots of options, figure out what is important to you, and grab something that matches!

  • @sandrafajuyigbe3136

    For portfolios for university, do you need an about me page? or just the projects you have worked on? I have been creating my own portfolio but still unsure how to structure the content of the portfolio? Any advice would be great thank you

    • @taylorjones3171
      @taylorjones3171 3 года назад

      Hi Sandra! I think that depends. If you are creating a physical portfolio to share at an interview, then there is no need for a section about you - because you will be in the room to introduce yourself. But, if you are submitting a digital portfolio / website, then the person who receives your portfolio would probably be pleased to learn a little more about you from an ‘about me’ section. Some people feel like their work speaks for itself, and so they want people to focus on the work. Other people feel that their personality is an important part of their work, and so it becomes necessary to show your personality! There’s no right answer - just what’s right for you.

HOWEVER, for everyone stressing out watching this video: maybe you haven't had the opportunity or the support to grow as a professional in such a young age, maybe you not in school anymore and have to work a boring job to pay you're bills but wants to go to Uni fulfill your dream. Whatever the case is, remember: You are a talented human being, full of UNIQUE ideas that nobody else could have thought about. What matters is that you have visions, you are inspired and you want to create. Go make a portfolio that represents YOU and your experiences on this world. How would you like to change it? What would you like people to see? Show your creativity, your aesthetics taste, your opinions. It's a 100% OK is you don't have any previous Graphic Designer work to show, you all walk a different path and the Universities know that. Hope you all feel better and more encouraged after reading this. And hey Taylor, congratulations!! You did some fu**ing great work there :)))

      Kenza, thank you for sharing your thoughts - but please don't be discouraged. My portfolio is not a fair representation of who I am! When I applied to university, I was interviewed before being offered a place. In fact, I know some students here who were not able to show their portfolio, but were accepted just because of their enthusiasm and character. You do not need to 'compete' against me, because there is no competition: there are no 'winners' and 'losers'. If you apply, but do not get accepted, it is not the end - and you should not let somebody else tell you what you can or cannot do! Some are simply not compatible with the path they are taking right now.
