If you want to go to school for graphic design, should you go to a private art college or public university? In this video I will discuss the pros and cons of choosing an art school vs. a 4-year college, what I chose, and my recommendations for you. If you’re in high school or returning to school and are looking to go to college with a graphic design major, this video is for you!

DesignLab: http://share.trydesignlab.com/christinemaggi2438
An award-winning resource to learn UI/UX design from short courses, one-on-one mentoring from professional designers, or a full UX Academy as a way to go from beginner to a junior level designer. They even have a guarantee that you will get a job within 6 months of graduating or your money back. I personally know folks who have gone through their programs and found them beneficial. I definitely recommend DesignLab as a way to learn the fundamentals, especially if you don’t want to go to college for design!
