You're going to school for graphic design? I just graduated last year with a degree in it! Is there any particular reason you aren't going for something more illustration based? Do you think you would decide to leave the graphic design field to just make a living off your art by doing commissions/selling prints one day? Lol, you probably haven't thought that far ahead yet. I was just wondering XD Good Luck in your studies by the way~
I’ve chosen graphic design because it’s one of the more technical and financially reliable art majors to have, so I’m thinking that if I can’t make it as a freelance illustrator or artist, I can just use my graphic design major to support myself. You can also branch out into a multitude of opportunities with a graphic design major, so it’s half a plan B if full-time illustration doesn’t work out, and half just a versatile major to take! Also (not in a cocky way) if I’m paying so much for a college major, I might as well choose one that would be very difficult to self teach. I’ve been teaching myself drawing and painting independently from any school, so I’m thinking that I can improve in illustration in 4 years just through more self teaching.
