hey guys im just about to get out of secondary school (similar to high school) and am now attacked with the decision of what courses. i have 2 types of courses that i have it narrowed down to and thats fine art media and a multimedia design course. Both seem amazing to me the multimedia allows me to experience the whole range of digital media and also about programming and systems but may not advance my artistic ability like the fine art course. My aim is to work as an artist or another creative design position in a game company but my worry is that when i apply for the job as artist they may say " sorry we want people who went to an art college not multimedia design"
i'd really appreciate any advice and if you have any other suggestions to other courses id really like to hear them :D
please ease my doubt :D thanks

What's up with the "dat's" and "da's"?? We'll all assume you mean "that" and "the" perhaps??

I think more people are inclined to say to you "use proper English" as opposed to anything about your art school education. If you want serious replies, then use proper grammar.

woah pretty strict regulations here. :) if it means that much to you i'll change it but just for you whizbang. :D I just get too lazy in the middle of writing :bashful: though i kind of need a bit of help for information i just have so many unknowns here and i thought since everybody is full to the brims with it here maybe they could share a little :D

notice how i didnt use "dat" :D now maybe perhaps you might give me a little help ( if my grammar is up to code of course)

" sorry we want people who went to an art college not multimedia design"

What I hear from practically everyone on this site is that where you went to school and what degrees you have are not important to employers, at least for concept art. Your portfolio, what you are able to do, is all that matters.
You capitalization and punctuation were a bit iffy in that last post of yours, as well.:P

thanks maybe i should change the question to what skills do game designers want? .... food for thought :D but i assume i'll have to move this question to a new thread.
