I will review the ideas you have listed ASAP, although I am unable to do so right now due to time constraints (surprise!). If I've missed anything else that's essential for me to make a decision about (which is likely), go ahead and send me a PM with links, and I will look into that before I browse the rest of the forum.

(If anyone is wondering, I'm attending the Umeå Institute of Design nowadays. My compulsory classes often extend from 9 AM to 8 PM Mon thru Fri, not to mention there is a LOT of work to do on your spare time. I'm confident this is similar to what it would feel like to study mechanical engineering and illustration at AC simultaneously. I stayed at school from 9 AM to 5 AM yesterday.)
