Sorry to revive a previously dead thread... but I just had to gloat.

I GOT IN!

I spent the months after I created this thread learning about design, exploring my options, and eventually working on my portfolio. Only one of the pieces I submitted in this thread actually made it into the portfolio of 11 pieces I submitted.

Anyway, if anyone's curious, I'll be studying Graphic Design at the North Carolina State University College of Design next year.

Thanks to everyone for your support a few months ago.

Congrats. I didn't think you were going to have trouble getting in. ;)


 
Ech, I also want to switch.. I'm currently studying Business management, but i'm very intrested in graphic design and post production and i want to go to art university, but dont have basic knowleage..
 
I think the man you have to check out is Joesef Muller-Brockmann. The 2nd and 3rd books are a must for graphic design. Also you should get a good book on the Golden Section.

You guys should compliment yourself on even contemplating such a jump. I too am a disgruntled engineer, except the fact that I actually graduated too -_-.

I wish I had to courage to have actually changed to something I would rather do, which is animation/film, but instead I had the "oh I just gotta finish school" mentality. Anyway, best of luck to you guys...end rant by me.
