It wasn't really a question, more of how can you get away by not using any form of digital media at all and yet you CANT get away by using digitial media alone... it confuses me! Especially when I have been told I can do what ever I want!
I agree that you need to know the basics and you cant get more basic than a pencil and paper, but I think my course is trying to make us create art rather than graphics... we looked at a lot of art forms in the first year which has confused me loads as I took this course for graphics not art!
Haha! I like your thinking too! I was thinking whilst photography is digital, you dont use a computer to 'take' the photo... so in a way thats kind of a physical technique! Then I can write my name in paint!
I'm not a designer since I am still at college but... Do any companies or any of you lot actually use paints and stuff? It just seems that nearly every bit of design I see surely does look Photoshopped!
