Degree in Graphic Design

[leroycjw]

I found a interest in graphic design and recently it really motivate me to learn more on graphic design.

Yes, I am not talented compared to other people... However, I am willing to work hard for it.

I am not very informative about design courses for local unis or overseas unis. My GPA aren't that great about 2.5...

I ****ed up in poly bad. With no other choice, I have to go engineering and eventually elective to a electronics business course. That is where a communication module stimulate my interest for graphic design.

I only know about NTU's ADM - design school, but local uni is really hard to get in...

Is there a uni that would provide graphic design course that you people know?

Can you provide me advice to improve my graphic design skills?

I really want to go into this field! Hope I can get in a good graphic design course though.

Graphic design is usually a subset of something larger like game design or digital animation. Digital animation degree programmes are provided by Lasalle, NTU ADM also provides a major in Digital Animation. Even with a good GPA, you'd still need a good portfolio to show off your work in order for them to consider you. Admissions are largely based on the work you present them with. Even Lasalle's degree programmes require a portfolio.

I am not interested in digital animation. Is there courses more into those print graphic design?

For this field they don't really look at your qualification but rather its look at your portfolio.

If u are really interested u can take up those short courses on this area, u just need to google for it. After that do up some designs to add into your portfolio. next u can try do freelance.

food for thought...

I worked in Sg as art director (CompanyA) and even took a lower pay that the market had back in 2009 (2500/mth when AD's are payed 4k mth since I was my first job in Singapore)....I have BA In Graphic, a post grad in editorial design, and a diploma in Advertisign design, 11 years of AD (now 12).

Yah it seems to be true for the pay part. However graphic design is the first step to my career. I hope to move on to web design in the future.
