Hey i would like to get some advice. Im 19 about to turn 20 this year. Im currently in pre university and im at a cross roads. I really love illustration, drawing and designing, its something ive always been drawn to, and i dont think i could see myself in any other field. Im thinking about going to university for graphic design, mostly because i would like to learn graphic design in a more structured and formal environment, rather than being self tought, but im not sure if i should because as you said in the video that it does not really require a degree to be in the industry. I guess my question is , would it be a smart move to go to design school or should i not. Also do you think that ai will replace the role of a graphic designer, because thats something im worrying about too.
Yo thank you for watching & this is an awesome question! I can’t answer that for you, but I can say. You should do what works best for you, me personally I went to a community college and was introduced to graphic design there. I never knew about it before that, I quickly realized that for me I was better off self taught. But being self taught without courses (back then) came with pros & cons. (I might make a video on this). One pro was I learned at my own pace, a con was that I missed out on some technical aspects of designs that I had to learn later. My brain has always done its own thing so being self taught worked better for me, but I know plenty of designers that went to college and THRIVED in structured environments. It just didn’t work for me, but it has A TON of benefits.
Also, I’m making a video on this as well, but I wouldn’t worry too much about AI in the future. I think that every designer should learn AI & use aspects of it to make themselves more valuable but it won’t/can’t replace us because the human experience & need for connection gets in the way of that. So just work on your skills and keep getting better so that you can’t be replaced!
what up bro! Yes eventually you will be able to, right now im rebranding my business so my website is shut down but it'll be back up & i'll make an announcement when its done!
I thought I wanted to focus on marketing but I find myself gravitating to Illustration.
Hell yeah man! That’s how I started with illustration (before I knew what it was)
