“Graphic designers are expected to face keen competition for available positions.
Many talented individuals are attracted to careers as graphic designers. Individuals with Web site design and animation experience will
have the best opportunities.”

"Keen” meaning there will be fewer job openings than job seekers

and it helps students to not repeat mistakes (or at least recognize when those mistakes are being made)

CritiquingA student’s ability to verbally express their thought
process is one of the most overlooked but important points to focus on before entering the
design workforce.

preparing students for the level of impact they will have on their work is crucial.
