Hi guys, first post and all
it took me the best part of five minutes figuring out where to post this, and I finally came to the decision that if there was any place, this is the one. Anyway, I'm 22 I have a couple a-levels in English and Film and for the last three years I've been working in admin
But for a while now, somewhere deep inside me,it's been a dream to become a graphic designer. I was studying it at AS level but I had to leave the class as the teacher and I almost came to blows one day.
Anyway- where should I go from here? studying full time is not an option for me, but I've been researching the hnc in graphic design, a course I can complete in one year via home learning. This appears to be something that will teach me the graphic elements, as well as the front end web design stuff and it also looks like employers like to see this qualification on a resume
Or should I should I just go all out already and apply to as many design studios in the area (Birmingham) and see if someone would give me a shot as a trainee or apprentice of sorts while I attain the htc?
What are my options guys?
I'd appreciate any help
thanks
Aaron
