I guess a part of the reason why I started it was because I know a lot of people who had just terrible experiences with education. Poor direction, peers are out drop shadowing comic sans as body text, I mean I even once got scolded pretty badly for not jumping at the opportunity to do a free logo for our school's orthopedics class. What I'm seeing is that even the people who do have the passion and commitment to try to be a better designer, but had their start in this environment still tend to fail. I'm not trying to replace college curriculum, but I'm hoping that by carefully steering these projects and having a good number of people involved it would give people an opportunity to get things going in the right direction for themselves.
I know fake projects aren't totally ideal, but I can't make people go out and look for internships anymore than I can make those companies choose that person over somebody else. So that's where I'm at. Anyways thanks for hearing me, and for all the helpful comments
