VISUAL EXPRESSION 101
I am unqualified to speak on design in particular, but I can say that I have passionate opinions concerning visual expression and what is necessary to speak somewhat effectively through any medium. You'll need some semblance of originality and conviction to be a successful communicator.
In order to be original, stop listening to people about what you should do and quit your research. You know plenty, find your instinct, show some heart. In order to find your conviction, try doing everything for the "right reasons" for a little while, despite the consequences, and your stance will become glaringly obvious.
Everything else is just mechanics. You'll need help with that.
