If you know even a moderate amount, prepare to keep your moth shut and be told you're wrong. I'm nearing the completion of my 3rd semester of Graphic Design (6 total semesters) and I'm going more and more insane. Today in Software Training: Photoshop II (of III - which by the way I have learned nothing from) the "professor" reviewed our concepts for our final project: the design of a book/theoretical book. I changed the type on my most recent piece (scorched) and handed that in. I also provided another concept which was mandatory - this one took me all of 30 seconds (not exaggerating..oh, and she PREFERRED this one) which would force the teacher to give me the green light on my first piece. So, after 5 minutes straight of bashing my piece which apparently "lacks composition and makes no sense" I was told to re-do the project entirely. She gave me strict guidelines as to what to do. 1) Make the background Space (stars/galaxies, etc). 2) Add a giant meteor behind my "ninja". 3) ADD A LENS FLARE. 4) Adjust the levels of my "ninja". She did this on-screen and made my "ninja" look completely washed out...but apparently that "reveals all the detail"! 5) Make the fire big and orange and use "lots of blending modes". Oh, and I currently have a 0 in Web Software because the teacher didn't set up the promised equivalency test for me, which I'd probably fail anyways since we're taught to code strictly visually using tables (worst thing you can do). I can't wait to finish this 3-year waste of time. I just want my freaking degree already.
