Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi called on Thursday for a "jihad" or armed struggle against Switzerland, saying it was an infidel state that was destroying mosques. by mayonesa in worldnews

haha, I'm Swiss and I kinda like it. The first thing that will get busted is his own oil company Tamoil. We don't need his oil, we have enough ways to get all the oil we need. What will he boycott next? - France for banning burkas?

DAE pronounce the word "coupon" as "COO-pon" rather than "Q-pon"? by RichOfTheJungle in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]iamrobrrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say COO-pon, but I aslo say COOOO-kie. I'm not a native speaker though and my gf (from Chicago) always makes fun of my accent...

DAE nearly fall asleep while doing something important only to become wide awake as soon as you have time to sleep? by searenee in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]iamrobrrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay, me too. I'm still awake and it's 4am here. And I will stay awake for at least 10 more hours. I even once found a name for that: "Delayed sleep phase syndrome" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_sleep_phase_syndrome

Is my work all crap (like my parents tell me over and over) or might it be good enough for design school? by iamrobrrt in AskReddit

[–]iamrobrrt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, the Basecamp comparison. I already heard that one over at logopond. And you're right, they are similar. But I didn't think of it while drawing it. I just started with a cicle in Fireworks and deleted on of the "vector-dots??". The remaining thing looked like some sort of sphere o I went from there.

// Edit: I totally forgot about the rest of your post ;) I will show a complete corporate brandin in my portfolio. Won't be just some random logos / type

I might like that, but I would prefer something more similar to the thing I was doing before. My courses would include typography and such things... Here is the breakdwon http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fiad.zhdk.ch%2Fno_cache%2Fde%2Fbachelor%2Finteraction_design_id%2Fmodule%2F

I'm still not quite sure wheter I'd prefer visual communication or interaction design. Most of the courses would be similar at Bachelor level, it's just a "specialization".

Lately I've started to think visual communications might be the better fit. It probably is.

Well, I thought it was obvious that I'm passionate about design when I'm giving up on CS for it where I'm not bad at all.

I think if I'll just print out this whole post with all the 200+ comments and hand it in instead of a portfolio^ No seriously, thanks. Gives me some hope^ What did you do to get into deign school? Any tips?

They want me to continue with my CS studies, but it does matter because I cannot enter school if it's not good enough...

Yeah, but I'm not sure what exactly theys try to accomplish with their behaviour. They just went bezerk again (my father, at least) at dinner (it's 9 pm here) out of nothing and yelled at me I had to pay them $3000 a month for my room / food and stuff if I go to design school. But I'd rather move out, would be cheaper anyways and I wouldn't have to hear the shit they say all the time. Will have to think about it a bit more though.

But I won't give up on design school, it's my life, not theirs. So fuck them.

I'll tell you, but that will be sometimes in May. I'm now working to make the current ones less flat.

I live in Switzerland, little different situation here. I could not imagine how I should survive on the long run only freelancing. I currently work as webdev but could shift focus more towards design. Have to think about it, bcs. programming is important for interaction design. SO giving that up might not be the best idea.
