Advice for a design student.

Get some studio experience any way you can. Unpaid, freelance, heck- contact your local studios as try to schedule tours to talk to guys there.

The year before I graduated I was able to tour a bunch of ID studios to present my work and get feedback from the designers there - people in the field are super helpful and will be more than happy to tell you exactly what you need to work on. It also helped me get a better feel of which studios I was a better fit for and which I wasn’t. Presenting your projects over and over again also will naturally make you reexamine them and find flaws/ways things could be done better.
