Is University Really Worth It?
I was not new to the world of design when I came to university, I had worked in-house for a national gym franchise as well as working as a part-time freelancer for a couple of years, and as a result I was very shocked by the way in which universities see ‘the real world’.
It became clear to me that what was being created was a class full of free thinking artists that would dream up elaborate concepts with no regard to practicality, time, or cost implications. For someone who had come straight from lower education to university to be taught this I feel is endangering their chance to work in the industry, after all you don’t just become the new Sagmeister overnight.
Job seekers getting asked for Facebook passwords
"When Justin Bassett interviewed for a new job, he expected the usual questions about experience and references. So he was astonished when the interviewer asked for something else: his Facebook username and password.Bassett, a New York City statistician, had just finished answering a few character questions when the interviewer turned to her computer to search for his Facebook page. But she couldn’t see his private profile. She turned back and asked him to hand over his login information.
Bassett refused and withdrew his application, saying he didn’t want to work for a company that would seek such personal information. But as the job market steadily improves, other job candidates are confronting the same question from prospective employers, and some of them cannot afford to say no"
Can't believe this is true, would you hand your Facebook password over?

Virtual Sistine Chapel
Probably not as breathtaking as visiting in real life but still an amazing way to look at the beauty that is the Sistine Chapel...
There are six arched windows on each of the two main walls of the Sistine Chapel, along with a barrel-vaulted ceiling. In spite of its unattractive exterior, the ceiling and walls of the chapel are adorned by frescoes painted by numerous Florentine Renaissance masters.
The frescoes on the side walls of the chapel were painted from 1481 to 1483. On the north wall are six frescoes depicting events from the life of Christ as painted by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Sandro Botticelli, Domenico Ghirlandaio, and Cosimo Rosselli. On the south wall are six other frescoes depicting events from the life of Moses by Perugino, Pinturicchio, Botticelli, Domenico and Benedetto Ghirlandaio, Rosselli, Luca Signorelli, and Bartolomeo della Gatta.
Above these works, smaller frescoes between the windows depict various popes. For great ceremonial occasions, the lowest portions of the side walls were covered with a series of tapestries depicting events from the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles. Raphael designed and woven these in Brussels between 1515-19.
