As a 18 years old upcoming graphic designer, I've thought that education would be the best thing to do at that age. I've entered the best place where I can pursue some graphical education in Bulgaria. After a very succesful and interesting first year there (university), I've spent the summer working at a local studio. For the 3-4 months spent there, I've realized that the opportunity to work somewhere gives me and teaches me a lot more that my current university education..
For the next 2 years, I barely visit any of the lectures, going there only to pass some of the exams. Practically I haven't dropped out, since I'm still a student, but as always-absent I guess I can label myself as a dropper.
I'm now almost 22, finishing the 1st semester of my 3rd year and working as an Art Director at McCann Erickson office in Sofia, without having any proper degree.
Haha, things that are good to know.
I'm seeing a lot of people actually doing most of the "Don'ts", mostly putting the wasabi in the soy sauce or putting ginger on the sushi.
