You are thinking about getting into Graphic Design and you are wondering whether you really need to go to university of art college. In this video I am going to share my experience and opinions on higher education and why I think it’s important.
Today it’s a debate if university education is actually necessary to become a graphic designer. Some people say you do not need it and others disagree.
Anyone seeking a career in creativity will undertake their own creative journey to which I believe there is no right or wrong path. I do believe that yo can make a career for yourself in graphic design and become successful without going to university. However, having said that, I do believe that higher education is extremely important. If you’re fortunate to have the opportunity to go, I would highly recommend it for many reasons that will be mentioned in this video.
