any good for interior design
i want to get into interior design, and i am interested in the seattle area. are those collages listed any good? my dad said that it will get me nowhere *he is a tool and dye maker* but i believe he is wrong.
I go to the Art Institutes International Minnesota in Minneapolis and am absolutely loving it. Now I go for a Graphic Design major, but I hear people are very, very happy with the Interior Design program. It could vary from school to school, especially with Ai. Take the Chicago school for example, it is a detailed more towards Culinary, while the LA school is more for Fashion Design. The Philadelphia School is more of an Animation school, and that’s a traditional medium (pencil / pen and paper) animation.
I will not lie, Ai is expensive, but I’m very happy with the school itself.
On a side-note, have you checked out the U of Washington, and their Interior Design program? What about Digipenn, they’re a HUGELY renowned school for any type of art. If your willing, I would even think UCLA, they’re very famous for many of their liberal degree’s.
If your interested, tour the school(s), and see what you like / dislike about the school. On an off day, go into the school and sit in during a class, or talk with the professors / students there. See if you can get hold of some alumnae from any of the schools your looking to going to.
Me personally, I’m in frequent contact with a designer from the Philadelphia School who works with Cartoon Network right now, and he’s responsible for a lot of the story-boarding / animation on the television show Chowder. I have also talked to more then a couple alumnae who have hit it off big. It’s taught me more then a couple things about the school, and the one main thing is that it will make you earn that degree. It is not easy. Remember that.
Good luck in your decisions.
