This really sums up most of the things we end up saying (about 40 times in a day) as the hopeful souls file through. Every time I help out at portfolio review day it brings me back to the good old days of RISD - so much excitement, so much fresh energy! It's important to keep that going throughout life - keep mixing it up, stay inspired and curious and always keep searching for designverbs! GREAT post Tango.

Interested in everything...ahh, as you can see from my blog, I am the same... Just keep at it, perhaps start your own blog about what keeps you inspired, what yoru intersted in, etc...and someone will contact you about what you like... Blogs are free. just need a computer w/net access and some time to documents all yoru finds. ;) do it! Ben,

I'm one of those unfortunate souls that is interested in pretty much everything though, so after RISD I'd still have an unquenched yearning for all the stuff I ended up studying. If only I could just go back to school again and again and again.
