animeartistjoI went to Pixel, the campus club for graphic designers and discovered something dismal. Due to the design major's lack of portfolio requirement to enter, we're now an impacted major and half of us aren't getting the classes we need. As a result, admin's shoved the grading curve way up, so a 93% would be an A friggin' MINUS and so on and so forth.
Why can't we simply require portfolios? The state college in my hometown does. Apparently, says one of the officers, ever since Design moved from The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (what the heck was it doing in there in the first place?) to the College of Letters and Sciences four years ago, it can't, due to some restriction in the L&S.
WTF?
Anyways, Pixel's interesting in that they will provide transportation to several design events in San Fran and provide information on design related events on campus. They're big supporters of AIGA, but annual student fee for that is $75 and $375 every year after graduation. Hmm...
