Directing Art
April 27, 2010 5:37 PM Subscribe
Graduate degree in design = a career in art direction?
Given that the person in question has an undergraduate degree in a different field, is getting a graduate degree in (graphics) design a logical step towards pursuing a career as an art director?
Furthermore, how important is the number of years of experience in a graphics design position versus an advanced degree (with a suitable portfolio) for achieving this goal?
Alternatively, if said graduate degree was more focused on information design, what kind of jobs might one get as a result of completing it? What if the focus was on typography? Just a good ol' graphic designer position?
