New Blog Born

The birth of another blog.
I created this blog to track my process to my graduation as a graphic designer. It has dawned upon me that my life as a college student is about to finish and i need to start getting my stuff together and having a blog will motivate me to create a better portfolio.
There are a lot of really good designers/students graduating the same quarter that I am graduating which should be an interesting experience. This has both positive and negative aspects. The negative is that there will be a lot of competition and it will be very hard to stand out as the best which I would like to be. But at the same time this competition will make me try harder than everyone else and make me have stronger pieces.
I feel that there is a lot of pressure to have a very strong portfolio. I have not cared about grades through out my college experience because the way i see it, your grades don't reflect your skills as a good designer. Your Portfolio does. So in every class i feel that the most important thing is to have strong portfolio pieces.
The portfolio presentation is around 6 months away and i feel that now it is the time to start getting ready for it.
