An Answer to the question, "is graphic design right for me?"
When you choose Graphic Design you are not merely choosing a career path. You are choosing to give up your naivety. You are choosing to live this. You will breathe every element of form and function. You will experience the frustration of relying on every keyboard shortcut in real life. You are giving up your ability to dismiss a typeface for 'just another font’.
Like an English Literature student has all of their beloved movies destroyed by camera angles and pathetic fallacies. You will never look at another billboard, website, logo, book cover, mailing flyer, font, Windows computer the same way.
But it is the best thing you will ever do. Being creative for the rest of your life, solving problems through design. Educating other people on what looks good, one ‘Ban-Comic-Sans’ petition at a time. Having the ability to change the world just by making it that little bit more beautiful. Do it, you know you want to.
