Look, I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but if you are at all active in the worlds of creative enterprise — fashion, fine art, graphic design, illustration, etc., etc. — you know Academy of Art graduates, whether you're aware of it or not.

Trying to help my son select the best school to get his graphic design bachelor of arts degree.

Would like to hear ideas from you.
