Hey there again guys, i hope your day has been better than mine, seriously.
Im just feeling really frustrated and writing it down just makes it feel less terrible.
The thing is that ive been in college for like 3 weeks and all the projects ive done have failed badly... for the most stupid reasons really.
First, like two weeks ago we had to do a 'descriptive page' about ourselves, they said we had to hand it printed or on a page(not file). And well, if it had to be about myself and why i chose the career i thought nothing would fit better than to do it all in photoshop, after all thats where i spend my whole day into and what im passionate about. You can see what i did in my blog. http://www.tatiiart.com/blog
The teachers showed it to all the class as an example, but not as a good one. They said it was too digital, that the name didnt stand out and that the tiger in the background had no connection with 'me' (it sais, digital illustration, i dont know how they didnt get it, and they proposed i should have added like a hand and a pencil to make it more clear, wtf)
The ipod prototype was a complete fail.
Whatever, that was the first project, i decided to learn from it and put a lot of effort and planning into the next thing: a morphological study of a mouse.
In a summary : i spent like 4 days planning and building this 3d paper mouse to get a 3,5 out of 7(being 7 the best)
When i asked what had i done wrong they said that they had actually given it a 7, but then they noticed it didnt stand 'firmly'. That was the only reason.
The things that bother me the most is that first i dont feel like they are teaching me they are just telling us to bring projects, they dont give us how much points does each item cost (i didnr know that the way it would stand was worth 50% of the grade!) and that i feel like im stressing over none sense! Do i really need a Designer degree? Its worth nothing and it wont get me a good job, plus its pulling me away from my artwork!! Ughhhhhh
I dont want to sound like im dropping out, my parents payed for this whole year, so im at least finishing it, but im sereously reconsidering priorities.
Sorry for the rant (loong rant), i feel a little less useless now. correction, i feel as worthless and shitty as before

Thank youu
But even though it is frustrating do try to see it through til the end (of this year at least!), you might learn something, even if its just perceverence or how to manipulate these guys into getting good grades. Or maybe connect with fellow students and you might have someone to do projects with together.
But it makes me super sad to see it being so disapointing for you, I hope it gets better soon!
Youre right, theres always something to learn, its just im sensitive about what i do and it hurts to be criticized in such a dumb way.
Yeah i also find it sad, but i just started, maybe itll get better!
I probably will, though i dont have time not even for that ;.;
Your instructor seems to not be treating you fairly, or providing you with the correct information. Good luck for the rest of the year, and if you choose to switch degrees that is not a bad thing.
thank you! c:
