Good advice there RedEvo, hit the nail on the head.

That said, some people have a flair for it without going the education route.

However, having invested in studying, having had an appreciation of good design before hand, the years of studying gave me far more resources to call upon when the occasion demands. And its this that can make or break a project or campaign.
