I think operating in a theory vacuum, no matter what you're learning, is almost always a bad idea. And Robot Cartoons: I KNOW! Bad fonts have killed many a decent design.

I am a veteran designer (25+ years in the business) and I've always felt that young designers are tought theory in a "vacum". Its great to be able to design a 8 spot color Corporate Identity BUT when reality hits them they usually don't have the "vocabulary" to solve the problems because they were never exposed to real life situations. I applaude your proyect and hope other groups would follow your iniciative.
