I wasn't criticising the reflection idea actually, that is a matter of taste and is fine, the attention to detail that matters a lot and is something that people learn in that "bollocks" typography 101 course someone mentioned... centering and spacing and kerning and all those very basic things that all designers are supposed to know and pay attention to.

You can blow a whole design and many hours of quality work by not paying attention to minor details.

Type can be a thing of beauty and is so important, yet it is often very poorly executed by many... on the internet especially.

Don't be discouraged by the college thing if it is not in your plans, it just changes your possible choices and paths. You will have to become a salesman and get your own gigs as it is probably not going to be as easy as sending a resume and getting hired.
