There are so many people who claim that they are self-taught graphic designers that actually pursuing a graphic design degree online is a step up. What I mean to say is that it shouldn’t be so hard and all that different from pursuing any other degree. That being said, online classes are not meant for everyone and you should take them only if you have the focus and discipline to follow through.
Coming back to your question, I have taken online classes from Stevens-Henager College, although not in graphic design. But if I am not wrong, they do offer a graphic design degree online as well. You could check out more details on their website.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
