i want to go back to school and study graphic design (after long years of hesitation!). Im looking for school in design over the world, do u know if there's a good website or book abt it ?

there was one really good website for it, but unfortunately, it's under "revision" right now:
other than that, google it and try your luck.
if you have a preference to where you would like to relocate, start with that. then consider if you want a degree, or just something to boost your portfolio. then consider the tuition and living costs. also, do you want a school with a reputation? or something smaller (and more likely cheaper). geographically, there's a lot going on in the US, UK, Netherlands, France and Brazil right now. but, you'll find fresh shit no matter where you go.
good luck.

Thx for these infos! Actually based in HK as a graphic/web designer, i leave my home country France for many reasons (..) and wish to stay out for abroad xperience. Ive been working for almost 3 years doing crap works in that field..Now ive realized that i want to push my limits in it, have time to experiment, learn correctly the basics..So im starting to look for a good school but i wish a city with low living costs..

any preference to country of study? (obviously with france and i assume hong kong out of the question...)
i'm based in the us, so i kinda know whats going on here in the states, and i try to stay up on whats going on overseas. try looking in some of the design peiodicals as well (Graohik, Print, Eye, Baseline, other random design mags)
i recently saw an article that was jocking brazilian design pretty hard (with good reason). also, i know mexico has a strong design scene right now (look to mexico city, they just opened a new design college there about a year ago)
