    find a small studio that needs a developer - and tell them from the outset you want to learn how to design.

    if you're passionate enough about it. you will, no doubt, have plenty of doodles & 10Gb worth of Untitled photoshop files with mock ups - which the guys at the studio can give direction on.

    develop by day, play play play on your spare time - eventually your design skills will catch up with your dev skills. and then you're set.

    but the best thing about uni is being surrounded by driven people.
    if you join a talented small studio you are in the same boat (but being paid for it!)

    uni is basically taking three years of your life off to dick around and hone your craft and interests - i'd say fuck it - get in as a dev and learn on the job! :D

    • Good advice. That's pretty much what I plan on doing during my evenings and spare time.such
