Nobody else puts their homework up in front of everybody so they can point at it and say what s wrong or right about it, and you can t take it personally. At the same time, you ll learn that designers and artists have obligations. Millions of people, literally, may see your work or use it. Your creations will influence how they see the world, what they believe, the shape of their fantasies, even dreams. Your education will instill a sense of responsibility for understanding the power of the media you use and for choosing carefully the messages you intend to convey.

Because art college graduates are problem-solvers, they re prepared for all sorts of professional careers. They re flexible, capable of working independently, not afraid to try new things, and used to deadlines. They know why they make certain choices and can explain them to others, in writing and aloud. Their feelings aren t easily hurt. All of this is on top of their hard-won technical, intellectual and artistic skills.
