Is the graphic program good? Theres a graphic program at a college where I live, and they think their all that. All they do is use dA for resources, make stuff that doesn't even make sense. And abuse Live Trace. I gotta say their graphic program is sad. Make sure your getting in a good one.


And do the web design courses include xhtml and css?

 

Yup, Im going to hopefully speak with some of the teachers and maybe observe a class or two next week. I went through a local Voc. School Graphic Communications class that was very very similar to what you're talking about, hopefully this will be legit.

 

Hmm seeing how I'm not in college yet i can't tell you if the courses are good, but I'd like to wish you gl
