27 Creative Website Designs of Art and Design Schools

Published on Tuesday, September 29 2009

Recently I’ve been receiving emails from high school students looking to pursue their education at a design and art school while asking me which ones I recommend.

While ‘Googling’ articles that could potentially help them out, I came across some rather beautiful and creative websites of art and design schools, as well as more than you’d imagine, horrific ones — you’d expect a higher standard for a design/art school wouldn’t you?

Below are 27 creative and visually appealing websites of various art and design school worldwide.
