The biggest advice from last year’s graphic design students that resonated with me the most was about starting ahead. I am guilty of being a procrastinator who would start assignments at the latest possible time. Although I can calculate an approximate time I need to start an assignment to finish in time with essay assignments or simple homework assignments from academic classes, I know it is not the case for graphic design. A simple design might take over 6 hours to create. Hopefully, I will be able to take their advice by heart and push myself to start assignments ahead of time. For them, time management might have been a lesson learned the hard way. Hopefully for me, it would be something I am prepared to do.
