Now, you mentioned computer graphics (cg) but that doesn't really tell me much. What areas have you focused in... Web design Illustration and Graphic Design Multimedia Authoring and Animation (Director/Flash) 3D Animation ??? Formal education is always a good starting point, they'll help set you up in the industry once you finish the course. It's an increasingly tough world for self-taught designers nowadays. Trust me, I?ve been there, now I'm going back to Uni. That piece of paper really counts unless you have amazing talent and dedication like a certain little weed I know. :p Like many of us, you've chosen what appears to be the most 'popular' career path this decade, the problem is, there just aren't that many positions around. Networking can help a lot, but sometimes it's hard to get inside those design circles. Again, formal education can help a lot here. Dark's suggestion of making a CV site isn't bad, but every want-a-be web designer's been doing that for years and most of them stay as mere want-a-be's... You'll need to go those extra five miles to get noticed in such a cutthroat industry like this one. Like say mailing your application/CV with a huge box of chocolates straight to the director of the company. I also read about some guy who did his CV and folio (Which was on a CD) wrapped up as a Kit-Kat bar. Apparently he spent hours getting it just right, and he got the job for his extra effort and show of creativity..... So, if you think you?re up to it, go right ahead. If' you?re not too sure then spending a year or two at Uni might be the best way to go.... Drac. Loading...
