i ALWAYS cheat on sketch pads. I buy a ream of photocopier paper. good quality for the price of one sketch book (10 dollars for a standard black hardcover wire bound A4 50 page sketchbook and thats the cheap option. One ream of paper 100 sheets cost roughly 10-15 dollars the good quality kind) and then use as needed.

:D then i get it bound at a stationary shop for under 4 bucks or handsew it together for free. (you can only do this is you're super organized. this kind of thing takes time and a handcraft drill)

Mark Szeman –

I know you this posted this 4 mos. ago, but I just wanted to let you know that it's never too late to make a change. I'm 28 too and I just started going to design school not even a month ago. There are some people in my classes that are even older than me. One guy graduated high school more than 20 years ago.

Take online courses instead of on campus, that might make you feel more comfortable. So go for it, if that's what you really want to do, but if you have doubts…don't. It'll just be a waste of money…design school isnt cheap…any college for that matter. Well good luck to you and with whatever you decide to do. Take care.

So true. I'm at Pratt Institute right now, and all the work is crazy ridiculous and learning to manage time and find money for supplies is crucial.

Thanks for the tips. I'm in school for Architecture and a lot of these tips carry over. I hope I can work on my time management, I'm beginning to see its not the greatest. Anyway keep up the great posts!

Screw GPA. Where I attend school, the art programs are on a 6-point scale, when the rest of the university is on 10; not to mention that the assignments are mostly subjective. I'd like to see how an engineer would fare if his tests were subjective and the lowest A was a 94.

I guarantee most of them would be pissing their pants.
