Where are all the Designers/Illustrators at?

[Thermal]

So where you lot hiding? And what are you doing currently? Going to Uni? Freelancing? Employed? Lets get a discussion going!

Now I'm gonna make a few people upset with this but, no I am not talking about the 12-15 year olds who can use photoshop. I am sorry but you have no experience with the industry, I was like you too once but I never called myself a designer I just kept working on getting better. I am specifically talking about 18+ designers/illustrators who have either gone through college (UK, for the US that would be 16-18) or university or who have been in the field for a while. 

Now, I've met a few freelancers on here but never seen more than 2 at once! Are we few and far between or are we keeping ourselves to ourselves?

 

 

^{(Yes I know you have been designing for 500 years since you were age -488 but you're still 12 and almost everyone else has more experience and insight than you, I am sorry but this is for big boys.)}

I'm not sure if I can say I'm in "the industry" at the moment, but I have a Bachelor's in Graphic Design and I work at a crappy newspaper where I spend ~60% of my time on LTT.

Where did you study? Any employed work doing your thing is industry work

I'm hiding under my blankie since graphic design hasn't paid off for me yet so I just quit doing it.

That might be a bit generous given the work I do, but I suppose you're right.

 

I studied at the Rochester Institute of Technology in upstate, N.Y. for my B.F.A.

Aim for me post Uni is to get a "normal" job and just freelance when and where appropriate, more money in standard office jobs sadly!
