wow..i had NO idea that i was amongst so many other GBC'rs here..
me too :)
i was there 91-94, and had a blast..great experience, learned a lot.
Dale (although boring as white toast) taught me a lot about type, and basic design...
Lots of encouragement from Roger Hathaway..excellent chap, to bad he's heading (or already gone) back to england..
Jennifer Stellings was a wicked horrible bitch, but man, i learned a lot in that class...namely, be on fucking time...nothing but fond memories from GBC...like others have said..it's what you put into the course that dictates what you'll get out of it...i got a helluva lot out of it...
on the other hand, if it's mainstream ad agencies you want to get into after grad, as say...and jr. art-director or something, OCAD is the way to go..learned that the hardway...
i totally wanted to go the ad agency route when i graduated, and only found out then that the 'old boy network' is WAY strong with OCAD...a lot of the creative directors won't even look at you if you didnt' go there..
then again, that was in94..not sure what it's like now..
