I am looking for a good online program to help me get a degree in graphics design. I have done a lot of animation, but I am a self taught animator. I would appreciate any feedback for getting a degree in graphics. I know having a degree doesn’t mean you are a good animator, but it does help when looing for a job.
Strangely enough going to school to learn to be an animator is alot smarter then going for graphic design.
If your good at drawing pursue illustration or animation the money is a hell of a lot better.
Animation companies don’t care AT ALL if you have a degree in astrophysics or classical animation. They just want a pretty demo reel filled with promising pieces of animation.
If you love to animate study animation!! If you like to draw pretty pictures pursue illustration.
The graphic design market is super flooded with people looking for jobs, and with this economy nobody’s looking to hire any. That means there are no jobs and the ones that do exist pay very little. On the other hand animation is a specialized skill so even though it’s super competitive there aren’t as many people to fill the need.
