Do you need to know how to draw or know everything about design to join a design school?

No. A Designer is a professional in the creation, presentation, dissemination, and production of solutions. Faced with societal, corporate, brand, or consumer issues—in short, human challenges—the Designer uses specific tools: the creative process, traditional or digital drawing, mock-ups, motion design, animation, and many others depending on their specialization.

These solutions must be relevant, viable, responsible, marketable, and aesthetic. They must serve humanity and give each Designer the incredible opportunity to become an actor dedicated to improving our societies.How do the professional programs work?The CREAPOLE programs begin with a preparatory year followed by two or four years of specialization. They are validated by the Bachelor and the CREAPOLE Diploma, respectively. Anyone with a high school diploma can apply for the first year or a higher year depending on their application.
