The article by Paul Rand talks about how all students should be taught rules for designing, and not relying only on their natural talents. However, he mentions that no matter how hard you study, “a students ultimate success will depend largely on his natural talents…” I understand why he says this, but at the same time I believe that if you work hard, you will be rewarded later in life. One of the things that Rand mentions, is that when students aren’t taught these rules they become “handicapped by the absence of certain disciplines…” which I agree with. Graphic Design isn’t the hardest major out there, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t require dedication, talent, and a basic understanding of what looks good and what does not. He also talks about how “without rules or disciplines, the students will have no motivation, test of skill, or ultimate reward – in short, no game.” Unfortunately,  I think that this is where most of our generation is headed.
