Hi,
I am international student. I applied for 9 universites.
Here is my story....
I don't graduate from BFA. (I graduate in advertising)
I don't have graphic design background.
I don't know much about graphic design society.
I don't know who is the famous graphic design in present time.
Here is what I think I have
I think I have 'eye for the design'. I do as producer in advertising agency (totally not related to art and design field), I love to critic some design work and my co-worker, creative loves to listen to my idea.
Mfriend always told me that I was born for graphic design jobs.
Most importantly, I love when I do graphic design!
So....
I applied for 9 universities (base on USNEWS graphic design ranking)
I got rejection letter times to times... 7 rejections, 1 waiting list, 1 accepted (Pratt)
Question is....
I always though to do the portfolio like I love(no pretend or no copy other works) so my port is not so pure graphic design, it lean to illustration....with many rejection like this... should I consider myself??
Does it the sign of something that I shouldn't continue my educationa as graphic design? Should I do the MBA?\
From my education profile, my family always told me to study MBA or something that is value to life , not art.
This time, I just wish to do as I wanted to, just listen to my desire...and the result like this.. should I listen to my family? Is my portfolio that bad??
Sorry for long word, I just want to crying out loud..
Anyone who have same situation like me?
Just share. Thanks in advance.
