"When I was at George Brown, the Internet as a
commercial entity was still in its infancy," Paul remembers. "I
had a couple of friends who were showing off their Internet connections
at the time, and I was struck by how unintuitive and hard to use it
was. Back then there were a lot of purely technical people involved
- we were part of the first wave of people who recognized the Web as
something that needed to be designed."

Graphic Design - G102,
Graduated 2008
"Three amazing years at the School of Design has provided me with
lifelong memories and friendships with both classmates and instructors.
Not only did the School of Design teach me the necessary skills to become
a graphic designer, they also facilitated a student portfolio review
night with industry professionals. This event organized by the faculty
provided me with the opportunity to meet with some leading designers
in the community. Brad Usherwood, owner of Yield-ICA - a Toronto based
multidisciplinary agency - felt that I had the skills to be an asset
to him and his team of creatives. Following our end of year show, I
was able to meet with the Yield-ICA creative team and was immediately
offered a Junior Design position. "

"The School of Design did much
more than prepare me for the job market.
It inspired me, educated me and gave me confidence in my abilities.
The School's location - in the heart of the most multi-cultural city
in the world - gave me the chance to meet and become friends with interesting
and creative people from all over the globe. The School's greatest strength
though is its teachers. They come from a wide variety of professional
backgrounds, and are always willing to take time out for one-on-one
discussions, extra help or even to go out for a drink after school.
They became good friends and I have maintained contact with some of
them even after graduating. As with any school, you will get out of
January 14, 2010tude and you will
leave inspired, confident and prepared for a career in design."
