^-^ I'm going to pratt for graphic design.

breathless.

I attend RIT for photography -- my school is an odd mix of half art/half technology. Our campus is just full of extremes ~

I'm not attending an art school but rather a state school and will receive a BA in fine arts. I'm going to be concentrating on graphic design. I'm so excited!

Wait on it. Interior design uses a lot of PC based programs.

Lol, it's hard to get a job right now period. Good news is it's a great time to go to school, because the world should recover by the time you are out. Art careers tend to be challenging to get, but are also very rewarding.

If you read, "A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future" he argues that in the near future designers and artists will be extremely vital.

I am going to school for illustration. It's a VERY hard path, but everyone is only given one life so I am going to use that one life to chase my dreams :] and I suggest the same for everyone.

I was totally waiting for a thread like this! Im a junior in high school and Im preparing my portfolio right now, which is due around december-ish. I really want to major in fine arts! What colleges have a good fine arts program? I really want to go to Pratt.

I am finishing my final year at Ontario College of Art and Design in Illustration.
Ahhh the illustration world is so tough. I wonder how I'm going to survive my last year, especially with thesis.

and I feel like I'm the only one.

Hey, I'm going to be a first-year student at OCAD for Illustration. Any advice/experience/tips for me? =D




And for those of you in the States, how on earth do you manage the financial matters? I applied to Pratt, got accepted, and ultimately had to decline the offer because of the $$$. In addition, it's even more expensive for us international students because we don't get any financial aid from the government or school, plus all the paperwork/documents for a visa.

Going to the Ontario College of Art and Design in September. I originally wanted to go into painting/drawing, but now I'm edging towards illustration/graphic design. So unsure.... =/
