Are many of you design school graduates or self-taught? If so what school?

if you go to a school that teaches the software rather than design principles you may as well be self tought.

Both. I have a BA in Advertising and a minor in Architecture. More design skills came from architecture than the design portion of Advertising.
But on the "self" side of things I guess I'm like plenty of us here who have just taken what we see around us, enjoyed how it affected us, and tried to put our own spin on things.

i'd say for the majority of my skills i am self taught even though i go to school for design... it's too late or i'd go somewhere else that would actually challendge me or blow my mind

... i'd hope everyone that's in school would also be looking outside of their schooling to learn more as well.. at least that's how i see it - your professor's aren't the end-all

Design is self-taught for me, but I also enjoy going to school. Some days. I think Communication / English can help me out later.
