Why not? You can make amazing details with the 'needle'...Althought the printing is ....

we had to make a choice between that and etching, painting or pencil drawing
and i took pencil drawing :)
but the needle is indeed better for detail than any pen could do =D

Yes, I think so...But aren't you alowed to try other techniques too during the course? Some of my colleagues, who where studying painting or sculpture for instance,have often visited us and have made some good printings as well by themselves:)

Oh, I see...pity. And how is your pencil art class going? Are you happy you have chosen that?
jef88's avatar
yes i learned alot
(but it was done a few months ago :))
now i'm doing graphical design and i like that alot

I believe, the previous course helps a lot, no? It's a pity, but most of the graphical designers I know actually do not havy any 'art related' education...It's not neccessary of course, but I think it's better to have different points of view and in that case some sort of sense for composition, colour etc. :)

we get edjucated in art if we want to be designers =D
we get classes in modern art, art history, composition, drawing technieks, even literature as base for designing.
which is good if you ask me
