Studying graphic design

Would you consider studying a graphic design course? Why/why not?

Yep since like two months ago i started to think about this and now im nearly sure,i hope im not wrong ....

ive been thinking about it but ppl told me that i should educate myself coz courses would only teach me the basics and doesnt teach u how to be creative and basics are known for almost everyone!!

Hmmmm

There are lots of resources for graphic designers...

But taking a course is good, because the teachers usually have little tricks and things that help out. Another thing is that you have other students that you usually can collaborate with, so you get a good experience.

I didn't take any courses (only 15, almost 16!) but my uncle took a C++ course, and thats what he told me.

Yes. I might go into a field like this. But it's too early to tell right now.

Hmm, yes for you. Because your 13, but life starts going way too fast at 14...

If you are passionate, start an online portfolio, even if you don't have a domain, or a proper host.

Eh? How did you find my age?

Yes, in fact that's what I'd like to study in college. One of my favourite classes in high school was Media Arts because of the wide range of art we did; posters and misc graphics; and Business because we had to create templates for a variety of different websites, etc

I would consider it, but I'm sure I'd much rather go into an animation course.

I decided to compile a list of the best graphic design career and business books collected from reading people's favorites listed on forum posts and blogs. I came up with the following graphic design career and business books.
