i am alum from accd and i used to give many a tours at the school while being on work study since i like the rest of the student body was on borrowed money from corrupt lenders. at the end of every tour i would always get asked the same question, “Is ArtCenter the place for me and/or our child”, and all i could answer is, “Well I dont know, you would have to come to the school and experience it as a student to see if its for you or not, there are 49 other top schools in the country to go to if this isnt the place for you.” With that said, brad, if artcenter is such a crappy place for you, and you have been their for such a long time maybe it wasn’t the place for you, maybe you should, after leaving artcenter you should apply to Pforzheim and try their program out. Come on whats another 100k to spend seems like youve pissed 100k this time around on your education anyways. Its not what the school gives to you, its what and how you apply yourself while being their, reguardless of what institution it is. its too bad someone didnt take you aside early on at artcenter to say “Brad, its such a shame people perceive you as being arrogant, its going to limit your capabilites in life down the road.”

Now yes i paid too much to go to school, but when asked if i had the opportunity to do it all over again would i?, and i can only answer yes. i hate to break your little bubble brad that you live in obviously but the real world is a nasty place full of things that dont work right. (its ok ill wait for you to get a tissue so you wipe your tears) isnt the job of a designer reguardless designing cars to solve problems. seems to me you had a problem and just couldnt figure out how to solve it, but youve made yourself pretty famous now through this blog and it has resinated through the halls of that black box tjat sits quietly on the hill, quite possibly you may have made yourself even infamous by now, earlier i mentioned “capabilities”, if miles, an employee of accd calls you out on your “talentless” crap, youve seriously screwed the pooch haha. but hey your about to graduate right so go down to a few local fast food resturaunts, im sure your education and capabilites to get a position as a manager at one of them, which should give you plenty of time to keep working on your sketches, because yes ive seen your drawings and even stevie wonder said they are crap and hes blind!

side notes

jabba: i need to hire you to work for my studio i deal with factories in the asia and you seem to speak the language quite well.

about scuffing feet and sharing work, its fine let me scuff away since you hear them coming into class late and they arent working hard enough to be unique anyways, its like in high school where you would just copy someone else’s homework. your not learning anything except your making yourself a clone and i can hire your for 20k a year with fantastic health benefits at my studio.

lastly, theirs no need to bring that innocent woman who works at the cashier window, its not her fault she can mistake a stack of money for a bowl of salad

When you said Pforzheim is producing advanced work back in February, I was reluctant in responding to your post. I don’t have any experience yet, but from what I’ve seen, Art Center is still doing the best work. Between the Acura and NASA projects, I was impressed with what was created. As I told you, I would consider Pforzheim IF I wasn’t accepted into Art Center.

Nevertheless, I do hope to meet you when I get out to cali away from my cold home in Montreal! email me sometime- sem0807@hotmail.com

How can you be a great designer if you don’t observe and criticize your environment?

I’m sure you would wish us to shut our mouth and follow the status quo… Isn’t that how WWII was started? If you would look at the dates of each corresponding post, the post predates the Nathan Cook uprising.

It be stated many ways…Brad was called out. He said something stupid and now is enjoying the consequences of his actions. That’s what happens when you give the finger to everyone in the educational institution you attend.

Brad who are you to say this shit?

and…

Someone saying that another school is producing more advanced work than ACCD.

Not that big a difference. So relax kids, it can’t always be perfect. And by the way; many of you really should work out your racism issues. You can’t be that great of a designer anywhere if you’re ignorant.
