  • Descrição: It's been a busy couple of months. I'm an external examiner at three universities, plus, I've recently held portfolio surgeries and given lectures in five UK design schools. The result of all this pedagogical activity is that I've been able to inspect the personal hygiene of current graphic design education. Mainly, it's been a fragrant experience, with only one or two worryingly malodorous patches. I've always avoided the term 'the real world' when talking to students. It's a patronising and belittling phrase to use when students are wrestling with cutbacks, deadlines and the realism of paying for tuition - all of which strikes me as excellent preparation for professional life where this sort of brutalism is routine. Far from being unprepared romantic ingenues, students are mostly astonishingly well-equipped for the non-creative part of professional life.
