Which country to study graphic design?

First, in the process of choosing graphic design, we mainly consider several factors:

1. Personal style (every country has different graphic design style, education status and foreign student policy, and the suitable country is the most suitable).

2. Own strength (language+major+economy)

3. Employment support. Most of them will return to China for employment, so consider the domestic recognition of this school in your country before going out.

Second, the United States:

Speaking of it, before 1930s, America lagged behind Europe in graphic design. Modern European graphic designers fled to the United States to avoid World War II, which stimulated the beginning of the graphic design movement in the United States.

However, despite these histories, the overall educational strength of the United States is undoubtedly the highest in the world, and it attaches great importance to independent research ability and practical ability, which is suitable for international students who expect to obtain the highest teaching quality. The United States occupies more than half of the schools of graphic design. However, everyone who applies for the United States needs to have the corresponding economic strength at the same time, and the average cost is about 50w RMB/year.

Generally speaking, there are obvious differences between graphic design schools in the United States, one is art, the other is experiment, and the other is business. Before choosing an institution, it is recommended to recognize your preferences and ambitions. Here, I want to explain that many people are disgusted with artistry, and they are worried that it is difficult to find a job. In fact, according to my experience and knowledge, artistry does not mean being eliminated by the market or having no market value, so don't misunderstand artists. It's not that people can't do business, they just don't want to do business. People in art colleges can't make money even if they want to, and their ideas are more unique and their works are more innovative.

Third, Britain:

Studying in Britain should be considered cost-effective. The key is not whether the tuition and living expenses are low or not, but to save study time. The undergraduate course in the UK lasts for three years, and the master's degree lasts for one year (some are two years, such as Yi Huang). It can be said that the short academic system is the biggest feature of studying in Britain. The advantage is that it can save study time and enter social practice one step ahead of time; The disadvantage is that the study intensity will be greater, and it may be impossible to graduate on time in some strict schools, and it is difficult to stay in the UK after graduation, so most British art students will choose to return to China for employment (fortunately, the British diploma is still very important in China).

Briefly talk about the types of graphic design degrees in Britain. In fact, most art graduate students in Britain are masters of arts.

Art, referred to as "horse", belongs to the master of arts and pays more attention to theory. A few art graduate students are excellent masters.

Art, abbreviated as "MFA", is a master of arts. The first difference between the two is the academic system. MA is mostly a one-year system, and MFA is basically a two-year system. In addition, it is more intuitive that Ma spends about 1/2 on creation, but besides that, he needs an academic achievement, that is, what he has learned in the past year; MFA may spend 2/3 of her time writing. The MFA of some schools is a continuation of MA, that is, after the first year of MA, you can get an MFA degree after 1 year.

The requirements of graphic design language in Britain are still relatively low. IELTS 6.5 is basically enough for most schools, and some only require 6.0. Moreover, there are preparatory classes and language classes, which are very suitable for students with language barriers and students with limited strength who really want to go to top art colleges at this stage.

Fourth, Canada.

Advantages: Relatively speaking, immigration is easy.

Disadvantages: There are no sophisticated schools.

As an immigrant country, Canada has many students studying abroad every year, which is of course related to its preferential policies for immigrants and international students. Canada's art study abroad is relatively low-key, mainly because there are fewer art design colleges, and its comprehensive reputation is not as good as that of Britain, the United States and Japan. But in fact, the strength is really not bad in details, because there are only four art colleges in Canada, and they are all public, and their scientific research ability, college strength and teaching ability are guaranteed. Therefore, the biggest feature of Canadian schools is that they are not top-notch and do not have pheasants. They can't make you rich, but they won't cheat you. Therefore, I think Canada is very suitable for two types of people: first, there are immigration needs; Second, their own economic or professional strength is not strong, and they are unwilling to go to the United States, Britain, Japan and pheasants. Finally, talk about the style of graphic design in Canada: paying attention to social reality. Just need your work to be socially targeted, not too personal.
