    What are good place to study graphic design , or multimedia in montreal ?

    what place can i learn design , or multimedia , or print or stuff like that, related courses, in montreal , or near it , i know UQUAM has some graphic design program, but i think its more like traditionnal design , which isnt bad , but i dont know is there something that fits more my field , because very unfortunately i dont know how to draw or how to sculp and paint . im ok programmer , and i love design art . I wouldnt mind learning how to draw as i know its often one of those important things u need to have.

    The best would be something that has 1/3 of programming , like actionscript , director , whatever , and 2/3 design ...

    I think i made up my mind , even tho im working full time in a studio right now , i want to go to university .Im saving up money with my current job , before that I only have a 1year private school multimedia design diploma which is worth nothing really.. but it was cool learning all this stuff so its worth it.

    anyways... Where did u guys study at in mtl , or near it. Suggestions ect ?

    Louno, p-e à Concordia? Demande à Chug. J'crois qu'il étudie là en ce moment. Pour ma part, je compte déménager à mtl et m'inscrire à l'UQÀM dans environ 2 ans après ma technique en design que je complète à Ottawa.

    hey man
    I go to Concordia, which is known for it's visual art program (you go to McGill for anything else)

    yeah so anyways the name of my program is literally "Design Art" and my course load 1st semester (this is my first year) is:
    Design History
    Integrative Design Research
    Drawing 200 (beginner)
    Materials for 3D Design (industrial design, etc)
    Visual and Performing Arts in Canada (giant lecture)

    the link for the design art department is here:
    http://design.concordia.ca/ (the site sucks, i know).

    anyways i love it here, great uni with great people right downtown montreal. email me if you've got any more questions

    I went to the design Art program also. Altho its fun, it wasnt for me. It's very explorational and abstract, and me I'm very impatient. So I droped after 2 weeks..

    Why are you going back to school louno?

  • unknown0

    got my answer

  • Louno0

    did you do other study before that ?

  • unknown0

    Yeah fashion design.. commerce.. social science... dropped all of those too..

    graduated in Business, Marketing.

    But I got my job just by doing what I enjoyed doing OUTSIDE of school. Wish I can have all those years back..

    Kids, school is for suckas!

    not really.. Be cool, stay in school!
