    Of course, there are immaculately conceived autodidacts successfully practising today, and one is Jon Rohrer who founded Fluxlabs (fluxlabs.com) in Philadelphia. ‘I am self-taught,’ he says, but notes that his ‘father was an artist and an art educator, and I think because of my upbringing I feel a certain built-in comfort with some of the formal issues of graphic design.’ What he says he lacks, however, ‘is much perspective on the business practices of graphic design, and I sometimes wonder if I'd feel a little less like I’m making everything up as I go along if I’d gone the usual route of student to designer / employee. Ultimately, though, finding my own way through chance and intuition is the only way things seem to work for me – in life or design.’
