    Dropped it since the teachers were crap, must be why they're teaching not producing but I went from '01 till late '02. I was originally supposed to go to SCAD (kinda wish I had).

    No you don't.

    Graphic and Industrial Design, wouldn't change it for the world. Done this time next year and we shall see where the job market takes me.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Yup. Technically any and all art that you produce for a grade/assignment while in school is the property of the school.. their logic I guess being that if not for an assignment, you wouldn't have created the piece.

    I ran into a BIG problem with this in my modeling and prototype design class... we were brainstorming ways of improving products we use regularly, so we were assigned to do 30 quick sketches of different things... it could literally be anything we pick up on regular basis. I work on my cars a lot, so I was toying around with different ideas for how to improve toolboxes, jacks, whatever... The next day in class we displayed all 30 of our sketches, and the class picked 5 from the 30 for each class member to improve on. Then we went home and improved on them, and the class picked 1 for people to do as a project. One of my designs that was in the top 5 but not the final one picked I happened to really like, so after the quarter was over, I submitted the design for patenting and then to a couple of different tool companies. Alltrade showed interest in working with the design and bought it from me and I've been working with them on it since. Well I mentioned it to some friends and it got back to our department head. He said that he could have me expelled from the school for selling a design that belonged to them... it wasn't even the one I had chosen to work with for my project, but he said it was theirs. My dad got his attorney involved and SCAD backed off, but it was ridiculous nontheless.

    But I must admit.. it is cool to walk through the aisles of a store and see something that was a rendering on your computer a few months before.

    Wow, that is total BULL****! I can't believe you would not get the rights to your own work! I'm sorry this happened to you and your design.

    On the other hand, I graduated from SVA (School of Visual Arts), and students have 100% rights to their own work (unless it is work done through a professor for outside work; for example, I worked on VHS or BETA's "Night on Fire" music video through my 2nd year Dynamic Media and Motion Graphics class, and I had no right to the music video, except for the scenes I worked on, I was allowed the rights to use them in my personal portfolio/demo reel). The school DID have rights to use any artwork or photographs of artwork in any promotional or published materials. However, it was YOUR work, and you could do what you wanted with it.


    Edit: Here's a perfect example...

    ClearRx is a trademark for a design for prescription drug packaging, designed by design student Deborah Adler as a thesis project and adopted by Target Corporation (with refinements by industrial designer Klaus Rosburg) for use in their in-store pharmacies. The design is an attempt to clarify certain difficult aspects common to most prescription bottles...

    Apparently, they paid her a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE sum for the rights to her design.

    Marketing (in the end)

    Go back? uhh...I don't think so. I'm pretty happy with my skillset, but I just wish the job market wasn't so damn packed...especially in the auto aftermarket industry.

    i'm graduating from AiA next spring, focusing mainly on 2D animation and concept/background design... that's where my heart's at. I have dabbled in some 3d animation -- just what I need to get by with a degree. Hated it. I do enjoy modeling in 3d though. Just not animating. As far as what I've done: mainly just side projects and the occasional class project worth keeping. Nothing of monetary value yet. Soon though...
