So what if they are from industry, end of the day you will have to learn yourself because you are paying them to give you thinks to experimental/learn. Anyway different schools have different kind of teaching just don't get con will do.
My advise go NAFA or LASALLE SIA.

I feel that the schools can only guide you along the way
everything else depends on yourself.
Creativity cannot be tought
BTW i feel all the schools sux, too stiff
zerofour said:Woot dude, thats hash man..... :bsmilie:
But it's true Creativity cannot be tought, you have to open your mind yourself.
Oh... lastly, this is what one of my part-time lecturer told me about his new intake last time... "Students tot they came here to learn softwares and everything, but design school is not for you to learn softwares tech...." It truth, you don't get to learn adobe or macromedia in a design school it all about self explore and effort yourself. Design school is for people who wants to learn design not applications. :sweatsm:

but they are really damn good. ive seen my seniors do really interesting pieces and u dont only learn graphic design, u learn advertising design and also photography! but im not very sure abt the part time.. ill be willing to send u some of their flyers and all that if u want..
my twin sister is doing Graphic and advertising while im doing photography (fulltime).. any qns, just pm me~!

Coleman Creative Design is good. Yes, but at the moment, they've just been aquired by First Media.
Their fees? ... They've jacked it up to a "cool" $20K compared to the $9K in the past.
Seems that they've included some business management / law in the syllabus this time round. Those who sign up for their courses now will be their guinea pigs :think: ...
Another thing is, GD courses would take up QUITE ALOT (not abit) of your time (even though you're part time) and it will eat into your daily routine with many sleepless nights. Make sure you're prepared.
tiniola said:Hi all, as far as I am concerned, the fees has not been finalised yet but it won't be that high lah . In terms of graphic design, of course you will take up a lot of your time, else how would you learn... hehhehe anyways it depends on the students also if they are really into it, of course they'll put their time and effort into it.
Nyways, I was from a pvt design institution, some of the students don't put in effort even when the teachers put in effort... so it boils down to your determination and effort. No matter which school you go into but if you don't put in effort then bo pian lah .... Nyway just my 2 cents worth
