June 27, 2011 at 11:47 amThanks for your comment Martina – we’re happy our work inspires you. Regarding a degree, it’s not a bad idea. A good degree will give you a foundation and skills that will come in useful as you progress in your career. That said, depending on what art and design discipline you want to pursue, and depending on who you want to work for/whether you want to work for someone or for yourself, a degree is not essential. There are other ways to gain the knowledge and build the skills you’ll need. You could try some short courses, apprenticeships and internships, self-learning through books and internet resources etc. If you have the passion – you’ll find the tools you need.
