  Just wanted to respond to your mail. If for nothing else to at least try to contribute a little more than the 'blog' bullshit that gets over 2000 responses...

  Anyhow. I started as a graphic designer, got into moving image, got into branding, became creative director of a TV channel. Now started my own creative agency with a friend. I guess what I'm getting at is that I think a lot of people start at Graphic design because that is what the most applicable degree courses are. I think many spread into different creative fields for numerous reasons: New challenges, boredom, sick of arsehole clients. Dunno if this is any use to you.

  My personal interest is the blurring of boundaries between advertising, design and production and the steroetypes that 1. Art directors/copywriters have the ideas monopoly.

  2. Graphic designers layout other peoples ideas and need to sit at computers all day

  3. That you need to go to a production co. to get a commercial made and that none of these categories should blur.

  Anyhow, I've rambled a bit but Ithought you at least deserved one response.
