Hello

Right now im taking graphic design courses at a community college.

But my im looking into "interface design".

I'm interrested in the design side of interfaces. Although programming may be a big part of interfaces, im interrested specifically in the design of their "visual look".

I'm located in California in the Bay Area, very close to San Francisco.

Questions:

[1]

Do you know of any schools that specifically offer interface design programs/degrees?

[2]

Do people looking to specialize in interface design initially go for a more general degree like graphic design?

[3]

The Academy of Art in san franciso offers a program like this, is it any good?

[4]

The Art Center College of Design is a place im interrested in but i'm not sure how much focus they give specifically to interface design.

[5]

I'm also interrested in information design. Is information design the underlying degree for interface design or is it different?

Thankyou, all info is appreciated.
