You go to Portland State, correct? I’ve been looking at colleges to go to to pursue Graphic Design and was wondering, why you chose Portland State over somewhere else like the Art Institute.
I have friends who are graphic design majors at the Art Institute and the only difference they’ve said was they have more facilities to work in. But the projects they do are pretty much the same as Portland State. I mean, learning Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is the same whether you go to PSU or AI Portland. I chose Portland State because it’s more affordable.
ALTHOUGH… if you decide to go to the Art Institute, you get a shit load of free art supplies like a rolly portfolio backpack, sketchpads, pens, pencils, etc.
Whichever one you choose, both schools are only 15 blocks away. I walk by the Art Institute all the time.
When I started at the Art Institute I very much remember handing over several hundred dollars ($800 ish) for that sweet rolly portfolio and those art supplies. That was a few years ago but…well I can only imagine them getting worse about random fees when you start there. Just, um, wanted to put that out there.
