Art Center - Snobs…j/king. Phenomenal car and entertainment designers, but Product Design is a bit underwhelming. Got to have a rich daddy to go there.
CCS - Blue collar version of Art Center kids. Do more for less. Think Art Center students are snobs, hence my comment on Art Center kids!
Cincinnatti - Feeds the industry with what it already is. I don’t think the program itself is innovative.
RISD - Not as tied to the industry as UC, not as aesthetically driven as CCS/Art Center. They say they are more theoretical, but there’s still a gap from Cranbrook. Got to be prepared to be a starving artist upon graduation to go there.
RIT - I just hear that it’s pretty damn boring there(location).
Parson - Fashionized Design, reminds me of Karim Rashid.
Pratt - Still living on their past legacy.
AAC - Trying to be the third to Art Center and CCS.
IIT - Trying to establish the constitution laws for design.
