A soon to be graphic designer -or something like that..

That’s me.
I realised that I now have 7 months left before I am thrown into the profession of “graphic design”, so I decided that it was time to ask some questions about what this actually means -what kind of field is it that I am moving into, what should I look out for, where is the edge. Where is the line to balance on?

So I researched a bit. And will try to discuss different subjects on this blog.
I realised that I have no answers to the questions, I know as little as you do. But at the same time, I quess I just have to try.

We (at the Rietveld Academy) had a meeting with French graphic designer Pierre Bernard, who recently received the Erasmus prize. He stated that it was an important thing for graphic design that he got the prize -since “the position of graphic design is very fragile”
This fragile position is what I am trying to investigate.

I hope you will join me, and post your thoughts and ideas!
