in all honesty
f what the teacher thinks…no offense if i listened to the teachers i had i would of done my internship at some fucking shit dip company that only brings you on to file papers and makes coffee 99% did that i went out find my own and was paid for an internship and recived vacation time ha!
some in there are really good and are there to actually teach and learn the real world…others just give you a hand out and show you how to make chrome letters in photoshop…
i wouldent pick a main stream mag if you have to do
especially shutter and national geo…they allready know what they can do and have done it…
you need to improve something that sucks…and is outside of your personalty…
dont look so main stream…take some rinkie dink publictaion and do that so that side by side your design and your concept improves that mag. you need to sell yourself with each job one by improving and keeping it along the lines of not offending the previous work
like something like the clipper. yeah its stupid yeah its free…rock it make it baddass make me not throw it away soon as i get or cut the cupons out for free egg rolls at the chinese resteraunt
and rule of thumb if anything you think is a draft think of it as a final product…
