Choosing Classes for Senior Year HS: Interested in ID

<p>Oh…Chicken Wang
It is clear you are a conscientious person with a good work ethic. I think any school will be lucky to have you. The last line of your last post is very important and very telling. You have every right to be enjoying what you are studying and to be developing your interests. Does the multimedia class inspire you…have you heard good things about it and the teacher? If so, go for it. And throw in that Forensics Lab to round out your sciences if you want. If not find yourself your outside class and get to work! </p>

<p>If the multimedia class has a so so rep and there is a risk you will just be biding time, go for the AP Physics class if you are sure you will do well in it.</p>

<p>Don’t know too much about weekend programs in your area but good summer ID programs can be found at Pratt, CCA, College for Creative Studies, Carnegie Mellon, RISD, Cleveland Institute of Art (that’s the shorter one I was trying to remember) and SCAD. You are lucky to be living in the Bay Area. There is so much ID/Product Design going on. All of the big firms have offices there: Smart, Ideo, Fuseproject. CCA has strong ties to the industry and some of their faculty are people currently working in the business. It’s all very exciting. Good luck!!!</p>
