Thread: Leaving the RSPS Scene

Hi guys, pretty sure many of you noticed that my activity dropped a lot, at least the people that know me.

Obviously many wont care, but I will soon no longer be advertising my services of GFX work in the rsps scene.

I'm currently a Graphics Design student at uni and I will be focusing on "Branding" soon. Like Logos, posters, brochures, Web Design etc...so obviously my standards will rise and the only way to make a name for myself in the industry is to do that sort of work.

RSPS GFX was a good experience and I learned allot. Many helped me get to the level I am on GFX atm, i mean obviously im not the best and I still have a lot to learn anyways.

Good time lads , I'll still be browsing the forums and I will request my GFX thread to be closed quite soon.

What I plan to do:

After I obtain my Bachelors degree, will be chasing Masters in Graphics and probably doing some real professional work on the road. While I am at it I will be freelancing and doing some big jobs. I'm taking this decision because leaving the RSPS scene is one of the keys to raising my standards and making a name for myself in the industry. Other than that, if people do need work done, you can contact me, rsps work will just be a side thing and definitely not priority.

The uni I'm in is #2 for Art and Design in the UK. So I am happy to be in a strong uni.

Shouts out to:

- Liam Baby
- Strade
- Leon
- All my customers
- The people who called my work shit, i felt offended, but it did make me work harder.

The message is: It is time to move on.

On a side-note: If anyone needs a Designer for a project outside the RSPS scene, contact me if interested.

Good luck with your goals!

Appreciate the support!

I do believe it is sort of true and not true at the same time that you don't need a degree in a art subject to get far in life, but at the same time having a degree, it will back you up greatly when looking for jobs. When they see you came out of a uni with a degree in the subject you like, they will feel you are qualified.

These days having a degree is essential.
