Confused (rant)

I'm having second thoughts about graphic design. Actually, I'm having second thoughts about almost everything. I don't know what I want to do with my life, much less what I'd like to study. I mean, what they learn at GD is insanely interesting but they're not looking for people who can draw, it seems they're looking for innovative geniuses which I am not. The chances of me being successful at that interview are relatively small but I don't want to go there just so I could embarrass myself with my lack of ideas.

It's probably too late to apply for fine arts because I was stupid enough to not think about this earlier. And what annoys me the most is that everyone expects so much from me it's driving.me.insane. :c Yes, I want to pursue art as a career. No, I don't know what exactly I want to do.

You're not the only one having these kind of thoughts. They DO want uber-geniuses for themselves, so the only thing you must have now is luck. I have my interview tomorrow and i'm hella stressed because of it.

oi ma loodan et sul läheb hästi. Ma pean veel mõned tööd tegema kuigi mul pole aimugi, mida x.x Mis sorti asju sa neile näitad? Ma ei mõtle konkreetselt, aga... suvalisi asju on nii raske välja mõelda.

you’re still ok: you’re still young enough to change your mind.

my advice would be to do some informational interviews with artists who are working in the fields that you are interested. ask them how they got to where they are and what kinds of classes they took or maybe feel that you still need, ask them if there are any classes or steps that they wished they had taken, but missed for some reason.

that will help you make up your mind and maybe even put you in touch with people who may be able to help you along your path. :hug:

I have some charas illustrations for the book "Master and Margarita", then 2 web-sites designs, one photo, school symbol, mmorpg char's and mob's illustration, 2 acryl paintings (just for the ideas). I don't know if my works are good enough to pass the interview. I'm more worried about what should i say and how will i say it.

Kinda. I'm also worried about the language barrier. It's easier for me to speak in english.
