I really don’t agree with you. Drawing, especially quick sketch, is the elegance of a designer. It is the characteristic designers distinguish from each other. I believe what Mike is teaching is not just drawing itself but how to design through drawing and the attitude of drawing. Seriously, I know most of the computer programs but somehow I feel that these computer generated drawings do not have the soul. My professor once tells us that do not stop your pen even if you don’t have cue what to design. As long as you are still sketching on the paper, the ideas will suddenly appear in your mind. Drawing is a way to help you design and is the way to give your design a soul. Personally, I think it is a shame for a designer not able to draw out the ideas directly to the clients. A good designer should be ready to work both on hand drawings and computer drawings, right? Sorry if I offense you. Just to share my thoughts 🙂

It depends. If the firms are located in Shanghai or Beijing, it might be a great opportunity to do so. The economical ressession is not affecting china as much as United State. Besides, in large cities there is no language issue.My classmate will intern this summer in shanghai. He said that most of the stuff members in that firm are Australian and Americans. So find international branches.

But be careful if the firm is located in small cities. Frankly speaking, sometimes they are just looking for an “artist”. The context and the culture is so different and this gap is deeper in small cities.

So as a chinese student, i suggest you to go there and experience through internship before you decide.
Hope what i said is helpful~

good luck
