Hey there,
I'm starting my 1 year in Foundation Diploma in Art and Design at UAL this September and was doing some (last-minute) worrying about if I've made the right choice 😭 (outside of the usual fears of meeting friends etc)
I was accepted on my portfolio consisting mostly of hobby graphic design and photography work. I would have preferred to go in right away as Specialist (with the goal of getting into Graphic Design Communications at CSM) but the portfolio reviewers thought I'd be better doing Diagnostic, which makes sense because my portfolio was quite broad.
My main concern is that I'll have to do more of the artsy stuff like painting/drawing which I'm not very good at and am quite self conscious about, basically I'm just scared that I'll feel very out of my own depths during the non design/photography stuff. I appreciate and am grateful that this gives me a year to really lock in what I want to do at a higher level but am still frightened nevertheless, I guess I'm just imagining walking in there and them expecting me to concoct some beautiful thought-provoking paintings which... is not my area of expertise to say the least 😭
If anyone can offer some more info on the learning curve and content of the course I would be really grateful!!!
