Great advice on learning design. A lot of people don’t have mentors available where they work but sites like behance can help with that. I think most people would be intimidated to ask a designer whose work they admire to critique something.

Hi Nick, ‘been following you’re site since Motionographer made an article about the conference you gave on “How To Be a Motion Designer” (which btw was pretty wicked).
Let me introduce myself in a few random-ordered words: british-born, french, freshly graduated from a two year course specialized in post-production (editing/after fx/photoshop…), and now employee in Paris as a “multimedia assistant” which basicly mean that a prepare flame/after fx/pablo neo/final cut pro artists’ work and help them on the technical side of the machines.
Now… for my request: I’d love to have a sort of feedback on my reel from someone you and/or anybody on this website. (I’ll also post it on Behance
) You can check it out on http://c.merciersanders.free.fr
(my site’s sort of under construction at the moment, haven’t got my computer, well actually haven’t got a home at the moment…)Thanks for taking the time!

Keep it going. -
Major props for making the very important point that learning design isn’t like learning the software. I’m very careful not to ever refer to myself as a “web designer” because people immediately equate that with their friend’s kid who makes websites or something
I’d actually love to hear your thoughts on transitioning from print/web to motion design, which is sort of where I find myself now. Enjoyed the watch, keep it up!
