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.

Domus Academy
Corcoran College of Art + Design
Ringling College of Art and Design
School of the Art Institute of Chicago
USC Interactive Media
Portfolio Center

With a Westwood College associate degree in graphic design and multimedia, you’ll quickly learn answers to questions like that and have a blast doing it. With your graphic design degree, you’ll be prepared for positions such as advertising and design coordinator, graphic designer/artist, graphic and web designer or production manager.
Does your university or design school have a beautiful and creative website? Please share in the comments below.



























Lesson learned: businesses should hire art/design students to design their websites. :)

Its amazing but there is not a single design with curved corners there r two but… still I love it all!
I like Biola’s and MCAD’s.
You chose an interesting topic.
Putting in pictures for all of them must have taken some time.
There is an article on choosing an art school here:http://bit.ly/c2DWtf
Love that School of Visual Arts. You can immediately see how creative they are just by looking on the page itself.
Every website design should be simple but attractive just like these designs. You do not have to make the design exaggerated.
These are the designs simply but elegant. That are professionally designed though its simple.
nice job!
nice site list thanks
