Just saw some commercial for an art school here in Las Vegas and the girl who was speaking actually said this.
"Not creative? You don't have to be, we'll teach you all you need to know to get a job at an advertising agency. (at this point I was screaming to my girlfriend to get in the room to hear the rest of it incase I was losing my mind)...then they went on to talk about how you will learn to make movie posters, CD packaging...'
But for fucks sake "Not Creative?..." How the hell can you make it in this industry without creativity?

just ask TemplateMonster.
I tell people I'm in advertising. Design is an unholy and unrewarding industry if you try to make monies.

Does the commercial feature some fresh faced Punky Brewster like cutsie looking thing in pig tails as the recruiter?

I bet the art school also runs a service for meeting "hot singles in your area, ready and waiting to chat".
I wonder what they charge for Bevel & Emboss 101?

oooh, the Art Academies. The ones with little slips of paper people can take just like when they post "Missing Cat" posters.
- nick0

well its nice to see that you two pulled through.
wtf, how is that ethically sane to tell kids that to be a graphic designer that they need not be creative to make it? This industry is FULL of struggling talent that HAS creativity..this is just plain robbery. I have half a mind to go poster their campus with uncreative ads.

Same one I'm talking about nick, the art teacher here has a big poster up with a bunch of jankey images on it and the paper-slips at the bottom.

I heard the Art institute is owned by Marriott hotels.
btw, I went to a school like that around my way, we learned how to use mechanicals. Thats what the said was industry standard. Wasn't that like years and years ago?
