RISD and SCAD- Illustration

[dakoscwash]

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how RISD's illustration program compares to SCAD's. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen some really hot stuff coming out of RISD's program recently. I can't say the same for SCAD, but that may just be ignorance on my part.

Well, I don't speak from experience, but while I've heard good things about SCAD's illustration programs, RISD is usually held up to be one of the top 2 or 3 schools in the country. I've heard some people say it's the best. But, as I said, most of that's hearsay.

BruceSharp http://www.conceptart.org/forums/member.php?s=&action=getinfo&userid=10905 was a teacher of mine at AIS (and still teaches there), and he went to RISD a while back. I don't know what kind of quality they are putting out know, but he is THE MAN. I kid you not...I've seen some of his work, and I've seen him work in person...its inspiring.

Looks like he's also got a small page to check out too...

Thanks a lot for the replies. It's obvious I'd have a much harder time trying to get into RISD, but it won't hurt to apply. Thanks again.
