Graphic design is reduced to the bare essentials

As if unenlightened clients and the public need another excuse to dismiss our skills.

Ours is a profession that can be learned in just one year part-time or three months full-time study, according to this ad I found in a newspaper for world-renowned Shillington College. So I give up, I’m way too over-qualificated (sic).

On second thoughts, that’s about as much real teaching that a student on a full-time three-year course gets anyway, so, as you were, rant over.
