we had class this saturday at 11 am. it was a wacom training. for those non-ad students out there, it's the digital drawing board we use to design. i was interested to see what the class would be about since the wacom tablets just work like a sensitive mouse and mouse pad. turns out the class should have been called illustrator and photoshop training. i was really pleased with the class. i feel like i learned some really cool tricks in the program. these are the types of things i thought i'd learn coming here. if we could have 10 more of those classes and some typography classes i would be in HEAVEN!
i've been thinking a lot about what i've said in earlier posts about the school here. while i'm still disappointed, i feel like i've been more critical than usual when it comes to analyzing the school. i think because i was told such AMAZING things, i had really high expectations. if i were to have come here without those expectations i don't think i'd be as disappointed. while i do still find that students want to execute their first ideas, it doesn't mean i don't think they're talented. i just think they need to push themselves further in concepting since their design is so great. we all need to do this as students! its easy to get excited about an idea and just rush to execute it. it takes time to make a good idea great. this doesn't mean i think i'm so much better of a student than they are either. it just means we all need to push ourselves harder and further so that we can grow as advertisers.
