As a recently gra...Great article Speider Schneider!<br />As a recently graduated Graphic Designer on the bottom rung in England, I can totally identify with your thoughts on 'success' here.<br />I have already done a series of un-paid over-rated work placements at some of London's most renowned agencies, as well as enquired for many more. A lot of the time, if you even get a response, it could be a very rude and brash one which my former tutors would assure me is alright because "They just don't have the time". I'm not saying creatives in the industry aren't incredibly busy, but theres a distinct lack of humanism in their mannerism.<br />Reading through this was a real joy, and a useful insight into life 'at the top'. You also disclosed some valuable secrets about what goes on behind closed doors!<br />Thanks!<br />Joey Dean (http://www.joeydean.co.uk/ - could you please look through my portfolio??

Phoenix at least has several choices, not that any are the strongest of art school choices in the country. I will say that Collins at least has a great teacher for a professional practices class (even some of the stronger schools don't have any such class). At least Collins isn't an online learning farce!<br /><br />Eventually one of the sites that publishes my work will have my article on art schools.
