It's not really about the school, it will always come down to a few things you will need to do regardless of education:
- Mastering design software
- Understanding history of design and typography
- Being able to design
- Being convincing in your design rational
- Being able to hit a deadline and deliver perfection
- Building a portfolio (this is where school helps)
- Being able to network within your design community for work (again school helps)If you are a natural designer this should not be a problem, if you want guidance or be told what to do and how to do it, you'll need school.
If you are ambitious and driven skip school, if you want it spelled out for you go to design school.
- These are all good points, to meet that list there needs to often a catalyst though (school) Theres a very long road and hard work involved to meet that list..sofakingback
- of goals. I feel like it would be very hard to do own your own. But then again there are some guys out there that have done it. Seems a bit on the rare side thosofakingback
