Hey NTers... I was recently thinking about this. How many "famous", self educated graphic designers are out there? (Self-educated means: No design school, no arts degree). Do you know any?

We're all self-taught, in my opinion. For example, I wouldn't credit what I know in Illustrator to my college instructor.

i think most of the designers are self-taught in one way or the other.. in school, we merely pick up the basics & the concepts.. out there in the real world, we get to take those basics to another level thru experiences..
