What is the balance of technical verses creative skills?
Some students have an art background and pursue graphic design and illustration. Other students are intrigued by computers and enjoy the challenge of solving technical problems related to web design. An interest in photography brings some students into the program. One thing is for certain, no amount of talent can substitute for hard work in learning all of the varied skills and techniques required to be successful in this competitive and ever-changing field. Those with an art background must learn to be technically accurate; computer geeks will learn that flashy techniques are useless without a solid design concept. Regardless of your background, if you’re willing to work hard, we can teach you the skills, both technical and aesthetic, that will lead to a rewarding career.
