I see the design school vs ‘self-taught’ argument often and what folks miss is that these are both paths within the same journey. You can skip school and pursue the craft on your own or you can go to school to pursue the craft.

It sucks that you have to "prepare" a portfolio before applying for a design job. If you are stuck at a bad place, your motivation is bound to be at a low level preventing you from focusing on building a portfolio. Like other roles, shouldn't a resume be enough?

But in the end what you are trying to do is spend time learning about the craft. Going to school doesn’t guarantee that you end up being a good designer and nor does taking the ‘self-taught’ route.
