(at least at college)<br /><br />Fortunately I've had the chance to put myself in a good place, I've started a couple of mouths ago a 9 month course of Digital Advertising/Art Director @ LisbonAdSchool. (www.lisbonadschool.pt)<br /><br />This "school" works kinda like an agency, here we got the chance to practice along all the 9 month period with real clients, we even enter in some competitions... just not to say, we're taking classes with some of the best people in the business.<br /><br />I'm telling you this just to make the point, that the Ad colleges should all be kinda like this "school"... and their riping off whom ever goes there with high expectations.<br /><br /><br />Once more nice post, and i hope to ear from you...<br /><br />(ps. My e-mail is Diogommalves@gmail.com, in case you like to talk 'bout this further.)I am a liarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785438941096388159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-89451428824568477892009-11-16T11:48:58.130-08:002009-11-16T11:48:58.130-08:00Totally agree.

The same can be said about many private colleges that offer programming, design and other related skills.<br /><br />The pallet of available mediums has grown so much in the last 5 years that it changed the whole game. Ant its still evolving. I wonder if any school can keep up, especially in the light that teachers are often unemployable in the industry and thus were recycled in teaching positions...!<br /><br />Great article...Sergehttp://www.bsgcommunication.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-9592118772077295362009-11-16T11:37:17.274-08:002009-11-16T11:37:17.274-08:00Im sorry Jon, but you are wrong.

I find it slightly embarrassing that todays advocates for new media still manage to go in the same trap communication experts and other know-it-alls did 50 years ago... I totally agree with the article that the curriculum needs to be scrutinized every so often to adapt to modern life. But please, stop thinking the internet is the only fuure communication channel...

Over time that fear changed to laughter, then to pity, then to anger, now to outrage.<br /><br />Schools from k-12 all the way up to $30,000 a year "*** *******" college are failing so bad that I truly think this country is circling the drain.Tony Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109365938555421509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-69463997603531286712009-11-12T07:00:50.874-08:002009-11-12T07:00:50.874-08:00I can't agree with you more.

I recently interviewed a couple of new intern applicants and was sorely disappointed in what was being taught.<br /><br />One of the more promising was a recent SCAD graduate who had excellent print design skills but nothing in web. I partially put the responsibility of the student to be aware of what they want to do, but the schools need to guide them better. No offense to those who only do print, but it's a dying medium. <br /><br />Even if it wasn't, web design has increased so much that any design job you look for requires the minimum of web design and minor development.Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05368609845280793665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20099402.post-20002072110310211902009-11-11T10:28:07.588-08:002009-11-11T10:28:07.588-08:00Well stated.
