I am only 18 years old; I just graduated from high school in May. I am currently attending a community college because I changed my major more than 10 times, and I want to make sure this field is right for me. I love visual arts, metal arts, and sculpture. I attended a art high school that specialized in visual arts, and I received a scholarship to an art university this summer. What are the pros and cons ?

I spent about 2 years learning Graphic Design in college, now I am switching over to Visual Arts and following my passion after my professors told me to follow my passion. What should I do now? Is college essential for my success to be an artist? Or can I be self-taught and take non credit college classes here and there?

I am a year one design student, and my major is advertising. So I am learning graphic design and advertising in one setting. As a young grasshopper, I am constantly searching for relevant news, information, tips, and ideas to help me learn. I've been eyeing IDPURE Magazine (Swiss), and Creative Review. A one year subscription to IDPURE, however, is only 4 issues. Is there a different magazine that will suit my needs? I know of Computer Arts, but I don't want a magazine focused heavily on tutorials that I could find elsewhere online. I am shifting more towards Advertising, with a graphic design influence, if that makes sense. Could anyone offer any advice? PS - I am in Canada, and there are no good American/Canadian advertising/graphic design magazines from what I hear.
