# This is what I'm hoping will let me in uni next year


I've also got a reasonable amount of sketchbooks which have research and such in them.
By the way, the smarties font is one I made, it's in a selection of jpg at the moment, anyone know any good font making software?

But yes, most people in art schools are pretentious.

The best place to find non-pretentious people is by talking to them or joining the Anime club.

And I e-mailed my tutor earlier on with examples of the new stuff I did, and he said it was all ok and I just needed to present it a bit better by spending ££££etc, on buying plastic folders and arranging it neatly.
