Are any of you guys studying or working in design?
Personally, I just started my Master's program. I work when I get the time. I've done most kinds of design work except for web design (which I'd rather leave to specialists).

If you know good design blogs or websites, it would be cool to share. I'll start with some classics:
http://www.dyske.com (very relevant on racial identity as well)
http://www.aiga.org/content.cfm/voice

btw,
I may be wrong, but there seem to be many AAs in USA's design schools. I had a class by RISD's graphic design prof. who mentioned this, and I keep hearing the same from others who study and teach over there. Is there a cultural component to it? What makes design a more probable career choice for AAs?
