Great Advice for a Graphic Design Student
I came across this blog post over at Frank Chimero’s site. It has some great advice for current graphic design students and those just entering the design/studio work force. As a MFA student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, a lot of his words resonated with me and so I thought I’d pass it on.
For me, these gems stood out:
If you can’t draw as well as someone, or use the software as well, or if you do not have as much money to buy supplies, or if you do not have access to the tools they have, beat them by being more thoughtful. Thoughtfulness is free and burns on time and empathy.
The best communicators are gift-givers.
Think of every project as an opportunity to learn, but also an opportunity to teach.
Helvetica is nice too, but it won’t turn water to wine.
Thanks Frank. Timely words.
