hey everybody.. this is directed at people that live in sydney since thats where i live ..
i just recently finished year12 and i got into visual communication at UTS.. from what ive heard it seems quite popular and it has a pretty high UAI mark to get in.. ive also heard that enmore tafe at petersham is good.. and i just got a call this mroning that ive been accepted to graphic design there...
now the thing is.. im not too sure which course is better ? ive asked around previously and it seems a lot of people think tafe teaches better than the uni course... but what im thinking is.. it IS uni and they usually do teach better than tafe.. and then there's the whole high uai thing and if the uai is so high doesnt that mean it must be a good course ?
does anyone know both courses ? if you do could you just slip in your comment ? i only have one day to really decide as tomorrows the last day i can go and enrol at tafe .. and if i miss out on that ill just be going to uts visual communication.. someone please help ~
p.s. is "uni life" really that important ? i dont want to go to tafe and be a loner for the rest of my life  |

Hey Bellie,
dont know if this helps but i used to live in Sydney working as a graphic designer for 5 years (long time ago). I am a self taught artist doing illustrations/3d art up here in Brissy.
It really doesnt matter...experience is more important than education in the field. My bosses always told me that as i didnt have any qualifications but worked hard and they knew i was keen as i taught my self Qaurkexpress, illustrator and Photoshop.
its a tough situation there but i know you will make the right desecion. Get motivated and always do your best, your quality will stand out that way. |
