I've decided to apply for courses in the Graphic design and illustration field for a few reasons
-Most of the Web design course's involve AV work, something i don't want to do
-I think i've learnt enough Web design skills through study, and can improve more through working experience rather than more study
-I've always had an interest in Graphics and illustration
-Expanding my design skill set will give me more job opportunities
