I think its a good idea to get yourself an appointment with the big guy. U might get another student to back u up, 2 know more than one andu are bound to forget a couple things u want to say( u knwo; after the talk, damn i forgot to say this and that)

i do not agree on whats here been said on Belgium. you might get a wrong impression.
Shallowland, not quite at all.
ive been visiting a lot of designoffices lately and i must say there is some picobello work out there but it isnt been pushed forward like american salestrategies. work is made in belgium in a more subtle way. its more in the details.
it seems like you pompousloving anglophilians dont get to understand thataside this:
nothing but love to you guys

True BXCAR, there is a lot of good work out there in Belgium, but the argument here is that sadly it's not pushed/accepted as an art form, serious creative craft like it is in Holland. Yes, there are a lot of design studios who do really really really good work, but still in the bigger picture they don't carry a lot of weight. Its all about general perception and acceptance. Case in point: Dutch tv (the VPRO for example) has a lot of decent coverage on design, graphic design etc,... We have Coda.

On the other hand I must be honest and say that since i moved to the UK I have been out of touch slightly with the going -ons in Belgium pertaining to graphic design, and have to rely on past experience and what I see/hear when I visit friends.

word! tomm. i followed the last two years of emma at academie... it takes a lot of discipline for self-education, in my opinion it ain't worth sh*t... ok it gives you a lot of time & space to find yourself, but knowing along some techniques in various programs can help you in expressing yourself.
And also true about recognition, we as graphic designers get zero respect from the settled artists in antwerp they protect their incrowd designers. I am not going to call names here but there is one g. designer who does a lot of print work for well respected fashion designers and cultural events and steals stuff like you can't imagine, sells logo's copied from underground designbooks, scans catalogues from colette (paris), etc... it seems that the amount of cocaine opens doors... maybe it's a generation thing...
