Anonymous asked: Hey. This is totally random, but i hope you take time to answer my question. :) I passed BFA-ID in adm, and i was browsing the net to get more acquainted with the course. I came across your blog, and you're epic. :D well, if ever i pursue the course, do you have any tips? or must-haves? or anything that can help? I'm the eldest of two, and i don't have older siblings that i can address my questions to. :( Hahaha. I'm sorry for the bother and thank you :)

Before anything else, I’m so kilig and happy that you find me epic! Haha :”> If you think I’m epic though, you should see my other coursemates’ blogs/portfolios. Epic raised to a thousand! Anyway, ID is a really great course. It can be tasking physically and emotionally (artist angst and all) but yeah, 3 years into the course and I still feel like I belong right where I am. The only tip I have is to stick to your passion. A lot of people like designing and stuff but if it’s not something they truly enjoy, it can be really easy to feel burned out. There’s a new curriculum going out for ID though that applies to the incoming freshmen next year and I think it’s going to be a lot better than what we got when we were freshmen. Don’t worry about skills or anything because I was really crappy and had no knowledge whatsoever when it came to Illustrator and InDesign. You just need your creativity, willingness to learn and flexibility to adapt tons of different styles and techniques. Don’t worry or force yourself to have a certain style especially if you’re just starting out in ID because the more free space you have to absorb all the lessons and stuff, the better! I hope I made sense. :) You can ask me all the questions you have about ID. It’s really exciting cause our course is slowly getting more and more attention every time new ACET results roll out!
