Does anyone know a decent school to go to for graphic design?

Everything I learned I picked up off of this board by asking or watching tutorials on You Tube. It would be cool to get paid to do this, but I have a feeling they won't pay me to make unpleasant images of Mark Richt and Nick Saban, but if you know of any jobs like this, let me know!

haha I wouldn't expect to find a job farking either. But making ads and whatnot.

Many of the folks here were self-taught. Design is a skill that takes a practice. If you are serious about doing this for a living, it is more important to be awesome than have a degree.

I have a friend who works as a digital artist. His portfolio is incredible. It encompasses much more than photo-editing. But it took years of hard work to get to that point. He works for an art studio and does free-lance commissions on the side. Even with his talent, he had trouble finding steady work. There is a wide talent pool.

I see the material a company like ESPN puts out regularly and think I could do most of their designs. I would have no idea how to go about getting that type of position though.
