It's official ... It's THAT bad

The Graphic Design class I am taking is now the worst class I have ever taken at the college level. It surpasses a Sociology class, one I actually withdrew from.

If only I could explain how BAD the help is with the class. A substitute for asking the teacher for help are the "Help Files," which don't provide real "help" at all. If you can't understand half of the things on the "help file" then there's a problem. I've hit an impasse in the class, stuck dead in the water. An assignment that has step-by-step instructions is missing MANY steps.

I have the t-shirt design traced on Illustrator, and need to fill in the colors. Now what? Illustrator is another problem. Now, if I drew the thing on Microsoft Paint, I think I could do it. Paint is like your simple tool set: hammer, flathead, phillips, pliers, wrench, tape measure, etc. Illustrator contains hexes, a 157/259s wrench, 55 different kinds of hammers, a punch, and other stuff that just isn't needed. There's no paint bucket tool. It's eraser tool - get this - doesn't erase, instead it forms a black eye on the drawing.

My t-shirt will be blue and orange. Not dark blue, light blue, transparent blue, whatever pantone number it is blue. Buh-looo.

You find out what these classes are like by reading a description about them in the college catalog. Only after you sign up, pay the money, etc you get to find out what the class is really like. That's for the people who'll say "well YOU signed up for it."

Pass this and I graduate. This makes my SPEECH CLASS look easy.

There's no light. Too many layers.
