How To Get That Edge Over Your Classroom Competitors

Also I think theres an interesting dynamic is schools, where they’re trying to balance real life expectation and a schooling environment. Should studios be exact replicas of work environments? Is that the most effective way of teaching kids? I’m not sure? DAAP allowed us to alternate between work internships and college studio environments every 4 months. So it was interesting to see the differences. But even internships and realife are vastly difference.

Are students better prepared by mimicking the rigorous scope/ deadlines of real design work. Or is this environments of pushing student designers far beyond whats expected better? If a bit unrealistic of how the real world works.

I personally think the later produces better designers in the end, but thats just my view.
