< Self-taught. When I was a partner in an agency, I consistently saw portfolio's and CVs of students coming out of design school and thought to myself "Why did you even bother?" A good design school that cares about the quality of graduates they are outputting should have some sort of portfolio screening process for admission. You can teach someone how to use the tools to be a designer, but what you can't teach is good taste.
