    The main thing …
    The main thing everyone should know is that working as a graphic designer has very little to do with ‘creative’ design. All the years of ‘training’ are a waste of time. Most of the time you will only encounter complete fools on a powertrip. As this video testifies – the reality is a bland world full of bland people who don’t want YOUR ideas. They want THEIR predicable tosh made to look ‘pretty’. Expect to work hours of UNPAID overtime. It’s a soulless occupation. You know exactly what I mean.

    BUT, what if this is your first time in the design world? Everyone has to start somewhere, and if EVERYONE demands a portfolio before starting then how are you ever going to build one up to start with?

    It helps a lot if you can form sentences and spell too – as well as having even half a clue what graphic design is and not just being an antagonistic on a perfectly good video.

    while you are in school, the AIGA is not too important in terms of academic success; however, it is very helpful when trying to network with working professionals.

    When you graduate you should be a member of the AIGA.

    Go to the AIGA workshops and stuff, i have found it really useful.

    I’ve never joined them, I’m sure you’ll get some useful information and meet some other designers possibly. But you can also do the same thing by social networking and surfing the net and just going out there and meeting people.

    My school wants me to join AIGA. Are you a member or anyone you know? Is it as important as my school sais it is or are they just trying to get my money, because I know are schools GD club gets money back when we pay to join.
