Applied to SCAD
I believe SCAD is the only university that has what im looking for that will make me a better creative. You may ask; “Well what about Full Sail?” Hmm. . . What about Full Sail? I think SCAD has the best program to offer those who are seeking to be successful in the creative industry in all aspects of creativity. I enrolled to the e-Learning since I would like to continue Pulchry on the side and still commit to that while learning. I am seeking a BFA in graphic design with an emphasis on web, with a minor in fine art painting.

SCAD Vision
The Savannah College of Art and Design, an institution with distinctive yet complementary locations, will be recognized as a leader in defining art and design education. By employing innovation in all areas, SCAD will provide a superior education through talented and dedicated faculty and staff, leading-edge technology, advanced learning resources and comprehensive support services.

SCAD History
The Savannah College of Art and Design was founded in 1978 by Richard G. Rowan, Paula S. Wallace, May L. Poetter and Paul E. Poetter to provide college degree programs not previously available in southeast Georgia and to create a specialized professional art college to attract students from throughout the United States and abroad. The curriculum was established with dual goals of excellent arts education and effective career preparation for students. Today, with multiple locations and online distance education offerings, SCAD continues to assiduously adhere to these goals.

Each year I seem to come up with a learn list. For 2010 it seems my 2009 list has spilled over into it. The design field is a rapid field since it is still somewhat new.

With the field being less than 20 or so years old the curriculum for graphic design constantly changes. Paul Rand was actually considered the starter for the graphic design field. That was not to long ago. So one could have went to school for design 4 years ago, and now in 2010 their is a lot to learn. But my learn list is pretty small. I went to school for desktop publishing. A web course wasn’t offered in my time. Now their is one.
