I see Matt proved my point in regards to schooling!!
Although when one is capable I think it is infinately better to be self taught. you remain yourself instead of becoming somebody elses drone!!

Always happy to help

But seriously, this is why we were taught by doing at my school. Our teachers alway encouraged us to figure out our own ways of doing things. To break the rules and expand current ideas. We were always taught and encouraged to be the idea guys and not just mindless designers for somebody else's ideas. Many designers are not capable of free thinking, and become lackies for big marketing firms. Some ad guy comes up with all the ideas, and they just make them visual. Where is the creativity in that? I hope I never become one of said drones.

I don't get the impression that you are a drone, and in fact nobody is until they stop questioning and wondering!!
