All UNI’s I have been to are a pain in the arse to find your way around at first… Most were built before the 60’s and bits have just been added on here and there kinda a mess. My g/f also did some classes on the side at the Adelaide School of art… Just doing nudy picks and stuff 😃 As with any coarse there are people who are no good… I have seen people doing programming who are computer phobic, the type that think a virus on a floppy might jump to your computer like a real virus. With design it can be just as bad, some people have no idea… One client my g/f had at tafe was a church… It was a logo and stuff for their gardens… So what does one guy hand in… A black gothic poster with skulls and crosses and blood… That to advertise a church garden… lmao ---

> [@davidh.](#): > > I’ve been doing Vis-Com and Studio art 1 & 2 this year and loving both, I will definatly move onto them in year 12 and really push for top design and top arts exhibition. I’m not a great artist but I love doing it and my teacher is helping me improve. I suggest to anyone who is going to be doing Graphic Design after school to take up and art class just to improve your general skills. It will help heaps. my sister will be in either of those this year. she is amazing. [http://mad-dame.deviantart.com/](http://mad-dame.deviantart.com/) some of her work ---

Thats the thing with going to Uni or Tafe or A school of graphic arts. You really have to think about it and if you plan to actually do a Graphic design course at Uni, you probably do more theory than practical. Tafe on the other hand, like people have here, hands-on work and I think thats a much better approach, being able to do a balance of theory and practical. Im not sure myself where Im going atm, I would like to do web/graphic design but Im not sure doing it at Uni let alone I might not even make it to Uni of Sydney which is my choice. Sadly, if I dont make it to Uni of Sydney, my parents wont be very happy, its an asian thing unforuntaely. On other news, Im hopefully landing a job during the holdiays. I did good work while at work placement so my supervisor is giving me a possiblity of working part time which I think its pretty cool. Working for Dload www.dload.com.au . Its interesting as well because on the way to Dload, i always pass Billy Blue, (no its not named after Billy Bussey lol), its a school of graphics arts in North Sydney. The school has some regconition such as Andrew Johnstone from DIK. [Previous page](https://forum.kirupa.com/t/australians-info-on-uni-needed/61290.md?page=1)
