GRAPHIC DESIGN EDUCATION: SCHOOL OR SELF-TAUGHT?
One of the most common questions I get in my inbox is: "Should I go to design school or can I just teach myself graphic design to save time and money?"
Here’s the honest answer:
No school, university, or educational system can give you a complete and perfect design education.
Even graduates from prestigious institutions can struggle to find their footing in the industry if they lack passion or genuine connection to the work.
