Good responses guys, thanks. I need to find my old work from school. Probably on a ZIP disk somewhere. I remember though, being very thankful for the design foundation I got studying architecture for 2 1/2 years before I changed majors to Advertising. Countless hours of building models, drawing, sketching, understanding alignments and grids and proportion. It was a great base, I wouldn't change any of it.
I'm sure I'd laugh at some of the work I did in school from a style perspective, but I do remember being aware of design elements and techniques so that everything had its place, things were aligned correctly, etc. Thats the kind of thing I noticed about this kids "work" the lack of basic quality that a teacher should have corrected. Simple stuff like "if you're centering button text, why is that one button's text left aligned, and not on the same baseline?" "Why is the hover state text not aligned properly?" "Why the fuck are you using Comic Sans????!!!!!"
- comic sans? is it that bad :/ take him to a design outing (ADC?) with you. maybe mentor him on a gig?ohhhhhsnap
