I think you can learn a lot about design. I've learned a TON since high school.
Not just programs, but theory, methods, etc etc
The main problems I saw were lack of talent - which can often be overcome by someone who works hard and loves what they do . . .
The biggest thing by far was lack of interest. People just didn't work at anything. After class and homework - design was not any more a part of their lives than any other person.
I'm not saying that people should eat, drink, sleep design - they shouldnt. But if you really were into it - you might want to learn stuff outside of the class - or at least participate.
half the kids were there because they 'liked art stuff' and because someone told them they could make a lot of money 'doing design'There's one teacher there that called us out on that one day. It was awesome.
Heintz Klinkon.
Thick-accented German guy from the old school.We came in one day with crap, i mean ALL of us had crap. He looked at it. Sat down.
Then told us we were all lazy bastards and that we shouldn't listen to people who tell us we can make lots of money as graphic designers.
He told us to take our stuff down and go home.
It was awesome.It was the first day I ever believed any of the teachers really cared.
