<p>Is majoring in advertising a good idea if im getting a bachelors in graphic design?</p>
<p>Do you want to teach advertising? If so grad school might be worth it. Advertising is a broad term. What area are you interested in other than graphic design? You’ll learn far more if you’re working in the field than if you’re spending more time in school.</p>
<p>No, I dont plan to go into teaching. So a graphic design job would be sufficient for going into advertising? Also, basically what areas I have in mind are magazine ads/layouts/corporate identity and logos/commercials/web designing/bill boards etc pretty much along those lines. pretty much the design aspect of adverising.</p>
<p>I was pondering this because I have consistently heard that art director positions and other poositions with creative control are generally given to advertising people.</p>
