In an effort to be clear and concise-something your teachers are always bugging you to do-here are exactly 1000 words of advice for design students (clich?s included): 你有太多的东西要从设计学校学习，然而对於设计学校，你需要懂些什麽?为了要保 持简短(那些你的老师一直在你耳边嗡嗡嗡的)，这是刚好一千字的，给设计学生的建议。 Keep your ear to the ground. The best gossip is any gossip. Start there and then do your homework. If a course or a teacher is reputed to be great, odds are that there's something there.Same for the inverse, but don't be dissuaded by advance reviews of a difficult or challenging teacher or course-sometimes the best fit is a tight one. 保持聆听 任何话题都是好话题。从话题开始做你的作业。如果据说有一堂课或一个老师很好很 厉害，那有可能真的很厉害，当然也有例外。不过不要被难搞或厉害的老师的尖锐批 评吓住了-有时候困难才能带来收获。 Do your homework. There is no question that in design school, what you put in is what you get out. It's not exciting and it's not revelatory, but it really does turn out that the students who work the hardest and commit themselves the fullest end up with the best stuff. Inspiration and perspiration. You need 'em both. 好好做你的作业 毫无疑问的，在设计学校里，你付出多少你就得到多少。这并不刺激也不具有暗示， 但是那些最努力用功的学生最後真的会拿出最好的作品。灵感跟努力，两个你都需要。 School is expensive. Come on time. Stay late. College in many countries is prohibitively expensive, so make sure you're getting your money's worth. Arrive on time and insist that your teachers do too. Stay after class and ask questions; find out about more than just what the class covered. Don't be a pest, but don't be a pushover either. Why? Here's why: 学费很贵，准时到，晚点走 很多国家的学费都是吓人的贵，所以你要确定你付的学费值得。准时上课，而且也要 求你的老师这麽做，下课後留下来问问题，尽量问，即使问题不在课程中。不要变成 讨厌鬼，也不要变成软脚虾。为什麽，下面是理由： We work for you, not the other way around. Teachers have an annoying habit of setting up the power dynamic to make you feel like they're in charge. I hate to roll out the "you are consumers of an educational product" argument, but the reality is that teachers, administrators, librarians and deans are all there in the first place because you decided to attend. And they really do work for you. So be clear about what you want and need, and team up with other students to make sure that those desires are communicated to the people in power. Use the library; ask for help. Make us work for you. You've already paid, right? 老师为你工作，而不是为别人 老师们常有个讨厌的习惯，他们常常会让你觉得他们才是当权者。我很讨厌去说出"学 生是教育服务的消费者"这个论述，但是事实上，因为你决定要念，那些老师、教授、 院长才会在那里。所以要清楚自己的需要跟需求，并且跟其他学生联合起来，确定你们 的愿望被那些掌权者了解。善用图书馆、多问问题。确定老师为你工作，你已经付钱了 ，不是吗? Hone your presentation skills. Walking the walk and talking the talk are different skills. And no matter how good a designer you are, without a certain level of presentation skills, nobody will ever know. Practice public speaking, present your head off in class, and write, write, write. There is no underestimating the harm to your future that bad presentation skills can unleash. Really. You could stop reading this now and you'd have the best stuff. 锻链你的表达技巧 做是一回事，而说又是另一回事。而且不管你是个多好的设计师，没有一定的表达技巧 没人会理你。练习你的表达技巧，拼命的练，而且写、多写些东西。烂表达技巧对你的 未来的伤害是不可忽视的。其实，你已经掌握最重要的东西，可以不用读这篇文章了。 Photograph everything. If you do one thing in preparation for the new school year, buy a camera. We miss the old 35mm SLRs, but we're realists and recognize the irresistible benefits, instant gratification and economies of digital. Buy as many mega -pixels as you can, and if you can swing one of those sweet prosumer SLR digitals, do it. Make sure you bring your camera to class (not the expensive one though-your roommate's) and have fellow students photograph you present -ing your work, conducting interviews, that kinda thing. Finally, have others take pictures of you making your models up in the shop. When you've looked at enough portfolios (car, toothbrush, chair, toy, form study, car, tooth -brush, toy…), those "process" photos are positively the most exiting thing in your book to a jaded interviewer. "Did you make this model?" Well, yes. I did. 拍下任何东西 如果你要做一件事为新学期准备，买台相机吧。老135单眼虽然很好，但是数位相机的 优点：即时检视、便宜实在是不可抗拒。买有越多像素的越好，而且如果你能够买数位 单眼的话，买吧!一定要把你的相机袋到课堂上(当然不是那台贵的-室友的)然後请你的 同学帮你拍\你的作品发表、访问…之类的事。最後，让其他人帮你拍一些你在作模型的 照片。当你在作作品集的时候，这些"过程"的照片可能是让那些疲劳的面试官最感兴趣 的东西。"这个模型是你做的"对阿。 Do more; consider auditing a class. "The people who do more are people who get more done." Duh. It's no secret that busy people often get a lot accomplished, and this is the same for students. Take an extra-curricular, non-design class (especially if grades aren't important/necessary for you), or, at the very least, consider auditing one course per semester. (Auditing a class means attending and doing the reading, but not taking up the teacher's time with homework, or taking up the class's time by asking questions. Get the word on the street, sit in during the first couple weeks of the semester, charm the pants off the teacher, and bask in the rays of someone telling you something you didn't already know. Most students aren't familiar with auditing, but it's offered in most schools.) 旁听课程： 努力的人会得到比较多。嗯，用功的人常常做的比较多不是秘密，对学生来讲也是一 样。上一些外系、非设计的课程(特别是成绩对你来讲不重要/不需要)。或者，每个学 期最少旁听一门课(旁听是说上课、做作业但是不修学分：以台湾的情况来讲，几乎所 有学校都可以旁听) Read the paper. This is the single best way to be and stay connected with the outside world. A killer-talented designer with nothing so say isn't much use to anyone (though the marketplace would expose the idealism of that argument!), and there's nothing more dangerous than an ignorant mass producer. If you live in a city that has a good newspaper, subscribe. If you don't, find a good one at your library, or read countless ones on the web for free. What's a good newspaper? The New York Times. There. That's a good one. 读报纸(中时跟联合就算了，读纽时吧!) 这是一个与外界同步的最好方法。一个不会讲故事的天才设计师对任何人都没什麽用 (而且市场会显露出理想的缺陷!)，而且没有什麽比一个粗心的大量制造者更来的危险 。如果你住的城镇有不错的地方报纸的话，订吧!如果没有，去图书馆找找，或是上网 读免钱的。怎样的报纸是好报纸?纽约时报，它真的不错。 Get off campus. School is great, and, after all, that's what you're doing there in the first place. But school design programs are kind of like the "official" program-the real stuff is happening by people who finished school (or often ignored it altogether), and your best investment is to connect with the communities of creative people who are doing design for a living and a life. Training in school is only part of the equation. Being submerged in the culture of design practice is where the real action is. 离开学校 上学很棒，当然，这是你去学校学习的里由。但是学校的设计课程像是一种"正式"的课 程-真实的设计是那些已经毕业(或是不管它有没有毕业)的人做的，而认识那些把设计当 成生活或是人生目标的人是你最好的投资。学校的课程只是设计方程式的一部份。被做 设计的氛围包围才是真正学习所在。 Don't work alone. I know you know that design is a collaborative effort, so there's no reason why you shouldn't practice getting along with others while you're still in school. But that's not the real benefit of doing design homework with others: It's more fun. If you don't already know this, then you haven't done design work with others. 不要一个人闷着头干 我知道你知道设计是一种需要合作的工作，所以当你在学校时，不练习跟别人相处是没 道理的。而且好处不只这样：跟别人一起做比较好玩。如果你不觉得这样，那你就还没 有跟别人一起做设计过。 Take almost any job. There is absolutely no replacement for the real thing, and practical experience in any design related field is more than you already have. So don't spend six months after you graduate looking for the perfect job. And, certainly, don't wait until you graduate to look for your first design job. You should be doing everything in your power to get some practical training onto your resume and into your brain and hands before you graduate. That means helping out somewhere once a week, or bagging that summer intern -ship. Do anything design-related. You'll be respected more by future employers, and have some chops by the time you get out. 接几乎任何工作 真实经验绝对没有任何东西可以代替，而且在任何设计领域的实务经验一定比你做过 的多。所以，不要毕业後再花半年找一个完美的工作。而且，的确，不要到毕业时才 开始找工作。在你毕业之前，你应该付出所有精力去做任何事去训练你的脑和手、充 实你的履历表。这代表着你可能去某些地方打工或是去哀求一个实习机会。做跟设计 有关的任何事。这会让你未来的老板更看的起你，当你毕业时也会更想用你。 Well, that's it for me. 1000 words of advice. But there's more out there, so with the ball rolling, why not share your own advice. Don't be shy: --
