    I suppose the one thing Ive noticed over 4-5 years of interviewing is how much graduates are obsessed by the skill of production, and not in the creativity of an idea.

    It's very rare that graduates articulate abstract ideas...

    Just get the usual ; "I did this in illustrator using blah blah blah"

    I'm not sure why. I graduated in 98 and computers really didn't figure too much in our work, so we often just worked on ideas as our ability/and computers ability couldnt do what we wanted.

    Now I get the feeling that kids sit in front of a Mac for three years, and that's about all they can do.
