Description

Figure out if Portfolio School is the right path for you! Are you curious about what Creative Technologists and Content Creators actually do? What exactly goes on at portfolio school? And why is The Creative Circus named that and will your family and friends think you're in clown school? Answers to these burning questions and more await. Join us on April 24th at 10 AM for an on-campus Open House event. We’ll fill you in on what it takes to build a killer, life-changing, memorable circus portfolio. A portfolio that will land you in some of the most amazing, talked about creative agencies, design shops, and studios around today. “This is SO *@!%ing COOL!” is the best reaction a designer can get. It’s proof that the magic worked. What’s the magic all about you ask? It’s called manipulation. Not the manipulation that offends; rather, the kind that drops jaws in amazement. Designers create things by manipulating any media, any dimension or materials necessary. It’s taking a thought and, by using divination, desperation, resourcefulness, perspiration and enchantment, making it real — and with the right magic, really *@!%ing cool. Creative Technologists are the secret wizards that make our digital world turn. This program aims to train students for careers in any market sector that needs creative technology– advertising, marketing, entertainment, education. Students are part developer (coder), part designer (artist), part strategist (thinker). We cover web design and development in-depth, since that's the most in demand part of the industry. But we also work on games, animation, motion graphics, computational media, micro-computing and whatever other tech is creative, exciting, and marketable. At the same time, our students stand above the rest with light training in strategic thinking, collaboration, trend-hunting and other skills necessary for a successful career working with interactive media. About Creative Circus: The Creative Circus is unlike any school you've experienced before. More a subset of the communications arts industry than academia, The Creative Circus has prepared some of the world's best working creative talent. Founded in 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia, The Creative Circus is an accredited, two-year, portfolio-building, educational program for the creative side of the Advertising, Graphic Design, Creative Technology and Content Creation. Located in an energetic, converted warehouse that feels more like an agency, design firm or studio than a traditional school, future creatives build portfolios that help them land the best jobs in the field.
