I want you future Graphic Design students to know that when you get into the real world, you should know of the story ‘Ketchup Soup’. If you have dreams of growing up, finding your job, and then your fortune, what exactly do you picture? A nice house, a nice car, and the latest technological toys cost some dough! So going to school has a purpose. I know you want to maintain a social life, friends, family, partying, and whatever it is that ‘you kids’ do, but if you don’t want to eat ‘ketchup soup’, you’ll need to make more effort in school! The difference between those who eat ketchup soup or steak is that extra bit of effort to make sure you come out ahead of the competition. With the economy on a downturn, and competition becoming more fierce for money, I hope you take your future seriously!

With that said, I hope you start the school year with enthusiasm and a go-gettum attitude! For some of you, it will be entering college for the first time. For others, you will be starting design classes at your high school or local technical center. I wish you all the best of luck! Don’t be afraid to ask lots of questions, absorb as much as possible, practice what you learned in school on your own, and try as hard as you can! Good luck too all of you! I will try to post more helpful and frequent hints for the upcoming school year!
