College Questions

Hey guys and gals, I was just curious to see if anyone has pursued in the degree of graphic design? This is what I would like to major in and wanted to get some pointers, tips or anything to a yes I had that major. Thanks all.

 

i havent but know a few people who have. i will try and get some info from them tomorrow when i am at school. I know at least with the University of Cincinnati, it is hard as hell to get in to the college that has graphic design.

best of luck!

 

I did. I went to the Colorado Institute of Art for 1 year and another art school here in Albuquerque. I did not complete my degree because here in Albuquerque graphic design is very low paid. So I went the University of New Mexico and got my degree in Advertising and Business/Marketing. And now I work in finance, go figure. Art school was a great experiance, but I wanted to be on the planning side of advertising rather than doing the grunt work.

If you plan to major in art I would suggest to minor in buisness/marketing. If later on you decide to pursue other fields that are related to art; marketing would be a good minor. Or better yet, double major in art and business.

 

Thanks! Look forward to hearing back from you!

Thanks you for the advice, I will look into those two things.
