i would have to agree with michael. design is more than pretty pictures or creative ideas. if the pretty pictures don't translate, almost immediately, into communicable ideas, it doesn't matter how progressive or original your ideas are. no one looking for design will want it. in my opinion, however, that can be learned without formal education, but it is much more difficult to come by. having well trained professionals/professors critique you work and teach from first hand experience is a much more straightforward method of learning. albeit much more expensive sometimes.
