Thoughts

Got quite a few responses from people over he last couple of days, and i was quite surprised at the response. The majority feel that traditional teaching methods are extremely useful (of course there are the odd one or two that hated it), and are necessary for personal growth. In all it seems that those studying graphic design tend to benefit and can then transfer the skills learnt at a later stage. As one guy wrote, if you have these skills, at least you have the choice of using them, if not, then you're limited; and i tend to agree with that.
I would like to illustrate the differences between the two schools of thought, but i don't believe they can simply be explained away as 'for' and 'against', that maybe abit too literal. The two tend to spill over into each other, but at some times are separate entities, and i feel that my dual book idea can work for this using text and imagery. I'm hoping to print and make the books myself, apart from spiral binding of course! It's a shame that there is so little time left; if i hadn't have faffed around at the start i could've really have gone into this with some more depth, as it stands with so little time remaining i may only be skimming the surface; which is a shame as i feel i've let myself down abit. But no point moaning, gotta get on with it and start some work.
