Superthread LXIII - Honouring the attractive women that exist in reality

Got my toe glued. Stings a bit...

Sprinkle some glitter on it? :sarcasm:

101 ways League Unlimited could be improved:

1. BF f**ks off
2. " " "
3. " " "
etc.

:lol:

This new Fat Boy Slim GPS I bought was a complete waste of money, I just keep going around in circles
"Right here! Right now! Right here! Right now!"

:lol:

4. Every time you login, a small man appears at your front door with a cold beer for you.

Agreed!

Nothing exciting. Bachelor of Communications. Not sure if I'll major in.Journalism, Public Relations or something else yet. I just wanted to do something and I've always been into writing so it made some.sort of sense lol. I've been interested in wine writing for a while so that helped me decide too.

Nioce work. PR is fun. Difficult to crack but fun with the right brands

Journalism is a tough gig. Really need the passion for it. I studied it briefly (always preferred creative writing anyway), but a friend completed his bach last year and has already gone back to uni to do law because "there's no money in it". Obviously that's not entirely true, but can be tough to crack.

Plan on studying advertising and graphic design this year myself.

More that those who don't want to write gossip columns find it hard to get a gig. If you want to become Bourbon Bekky or Slothfield, there's a veritable fortune to make.

It's a punters guide, so kinda live a preview of each clubs prospects for 2014, quite analytical, but also blunt and honest.

I'll be writing a piece for it next year. We just provided that stats this year.

Very cool. I will have to watch out for it.

pfft, fancy wasting all that time getting a degree to be a journalist.

I'm writing for 2 magazines and will have a few pieces in books over the next 12 months and I didn't need a degree.

I am naturally brilliant though, that helps.

I can help you out with the Saints section. Coach = shit, team = shit, prospects = none.

:lol: sad but true.

Good luck predicting the Warriors, they keep you guessing.

'Seat of your pants' stuff.

Rather ironic that she has said now that she is famous she will not be doing any more nudity in GoT.

She did it in early eps of GoT because she was relatively unknown and now she is a celebrity she doesn't need to do it any more.

kinda like women when they get married.

Interesting you should say that.

I find so many who come out of uni with degrees in these sorts of things as well as "creative industries" are so often cookie cutter recycled versions of the same thing when the key to standing out is to have your own style and flair with how you write (as well as maintaining some element of technique/structure/know how/grammar/blah blah)

 

[madunit]

kinda?

More than half my office is either travelling or on sick leave today. Working hard as a motherf**ker to keep the place ticking over.

to be honest, i'm completely opposed to arts degrees

You can't be taught something creative. You can be taught techniques on how use various tools etc for certain effects, but thats about it and would take no more than 6 months to learn.

Once you start trying to teach someone how to be a certain type of creative is the minute you kill creativity.

Journalism requires good researching skills, interview skills and techniques and the rest can be cleaned up by Microsoft Word and editors these days.

and the obligatory OHS shit

Agree completely.

I think courses are good to get an understanding of the basics that is needed for a person to build their creativity on top of that, but outside of that it's simply indulgence more for the uni than anything being gained by the students.

Know a couple of graphic designers who said they learnt more about programs like photoshop/premier pro/after effects etc by being on the job for 6 weeks than the previous four years in uni getting that degree.

I plan on doing studying graphic design mainly for the basics and building blocks so when I get stuck I have those stronger fundamental skills to take a step back on before pushing forward again.

Also those basics help speed things up a bit *points to own avatar that took 3-4 times longer to create than it probably should have*

Isn't it similar for a lot of subject areas? I get the impression it is anyway. Spend a few years doing the degree, get a job, seemingly learn more relevant information in a few months at the job than you did in years at Uni. Obviously part of it is training for that particular job but not always.

Yes I would say so, but in the creative industries it's a bit different where peoples perception of "being creative" is offering something different to stand out from the crowd. If your work is like 90% of other peoples good luck standing out.

Seen a lot of people stifle their own creativity because someone (either another student or professor) has said "No, this is the way you have to be creative".

In any subject/industry the basic fundamentals are vital and you will always learn more on the job than in the classroom. It's that middle bit between fundamentals and experience that kills people in the creative subjects.

Universities are rote learning experiences these days. Completely different to how they were in the past.
