Art Institute really fucked us there. They taught "color by numbers". Instead of teaching students how to make unique creations, they constantly hammered in "well this is what the corporate world wants right now". What was "good" was creatively devoid and could be made by following a checklist. Had an ex who changed their entire art style, persona, and had business cards made up of some hexagon style because "hexagons are all the rage right now!". Business card looked like something a beekeeper would hand you, not a graphic designer.
