THE RESULTS

​​As I looked into each college/academy/polytechnic, I found that ACAD would be a good choice if I wanted to get into Graphic Design. I also found out that SAIT offers web design. If I were to go to Bowvalley college I could study creative technology courses which include UX design and web programming inside a software development diploma course. The University of Calgary have courses on Integrated Digital Media that include web design. Red Academy have courses specifically for UI/UX design. My overall choice would probably be between Red Academy and The University of Calgary.
