U5 Akademie München

One of Germany's leading schools for graphic designers, photographers, filmmakers, photo editing and other digital media...

HAS ACCEPTED CHRISTIAN WIMMER!

I am in!

This will be a three year course of hard work. My first semester starts in September. Classes start at 9:00 AM and end at 16:00 PM from Mondays to Fridays.

I have found a small apartment in Munich near the Deutsches Museum and walking distance (about 1.5 km) of the Maximilianstrasse (where all the cool cars are).

I can't wait!!!

I am very happy for you mate.

Great news, Christian!! Congratulations and ganz viel Erfolg!!!

 

[GBOY]

Congrats Chris. Welcome to the club. I got my degree in the same field in 19..., well, let's just say, over 10 years ago.

Would do it for free, but to actually get paid is icing.

 

[PHYBENZ]

Great News. Congratulations and best of luck! That is a great accomplishment.

Fantastic news Chris, well done mate, and I have to say I am not surprised at all, you have the talent already, you just needed the right timing and your time has come. Did you show them the photo of Wimmer the terminator (the one with half your human face, and half terminator)? or your many stalking/perving photos of hot babes?

 

[Bruce]

Congrats! (again )

Congratulations man, well done!
From what time will you be in Munich? I am going to Munich this August, I will attend the Munsinger Ochsenrennen and I will also visit the BMW museum then, maybe we can go for a drink.
Maximilianstrasse you say? I will definetely check it out!!!!!!

 

[LaArtist]

Thanks!

Yep, I have to attend every class but unlike college this is an academy where all classes are geared towards making you the perfect creative graphic designer. It will be fun. Plus, I've met some hot girls already who were also there during the interview!

Awesome! Good to know you're successful and getting paid well!

The U5 produces some of Germany's best graphic designers as is evident by all the students that graduate and are immediately snapped up and fought over by the best advertising agencies in Munich and Germany.

But I will need to work hard, study a lot and that means less time on GCF.

Thanks.

Haha, I didn't show them any babe photoshops but I did show them two versions of my Terminator photoshop. What really got them in the end were my some of my automotive and landscape photographs as well as some portrait photographs of one of my neighbors and her dog (I begged her to let me photograph her, an ex-model [not professional though]! ) and my car drawings as well as some figure drawing sketches (will scan them and post them here).

Portrait sample...





I also showed them this:



I basically created a 1970s advertisement for an imaginary "C116 S-Class Coupe". And as is typical with all German Mercedes-Benz ads, they don't make sense.

Well, I quit my crappy job at the local museum (my boss was a total biyatch!) so now I have nothing to do! I plan on visiting a couple of museums throughout August and generally have some fun before the semester starts. So basically, hell yeah, I CAN meet up with you in Munich!

The BMW Museum sounds good. I've already been there but going there and taking new shots is always cool. Plus the entrance is free.

Maximilianstrasse is a must. We can go there together if you like. Look at some of the pages of the Spotted Today thread and see what I found there.
