IfI wanted to make a career out of creativity I had to study.” So Gary looked into graphic designqualifications and chose NMIT’s Diploma.“I wasn’t entirely sure of the final direction I wanted to take and the diploma teaches acrosssuch a broad range of areas that it seemed the most logical choice. It also meant I could benear family and friends if I stayed in the top of the south.”NMIT’s tutors have impressed Gary with their knowledge and industry experience. “They’ve justreinforced to me that you need technological skills as well as creativity to do well as designer.”Search NMITNZ on YouTube.com and Vimeo.com for this graduate profile.19
