Graphic design

Was just wondering if anyone knew of any graphic based forums which might be useful for a student making some last minute adjustments to his portfolio.
Cheers Benji

If you're a shit designer then yeah, but otherwise: pen & paper, client lunches, innovation sessions and all the wank that accompanies it.

<- shit designer.

Well yeh i can imagine most jobs have ther downsides but at least its creative, means i can get work in other countries. And as jono said, its not all boring once your the top guy. Plus its just a plan, i may well end up doin sumin different.
Why all the player hating anyway?

Anyone can be a graphic designer, you just need a ruler and a couple of sheets of Letraset - and perhaps a nice pen. But the real money is in male prostitution.

What decade are you living in... You just need to pop down to your local Apple store, buy the most expensive machine there and download a dirty copy of Photoshop. That's it, you're qualified... right?

On a slightly more serious note... buy this book:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Graphic-Desi...4431384&sr=8-1

Absolutely the single most useful book I've ever bought.

cutting out and colouring in is piss easy, even a monkey could do it.
the wearing of tight school jumpers and riding a brakeless singlespeed is just trying too hard.
