But that's not design. That's technical details. Let's out it this way...we didn't learn how to smooth pixels at my art school which is jsyt about the best place you can go for a degree in graphic design in the country.

There are a lot of things you learn on the job that you'll never learn from a university.

Retina Design is brand spanking new. You're not going to find it being taught in a university anytime soon.

A good design school doesn't make you a good designer. I've seen SCAD and RISD grads who couldn't design to save their life. With all design, it's about understanding the medium. For a lot of designers, that technical detail is what makes them stand out from the rest.

Most people called designers in mobile/web software development produce artifacts/comps in my experience.
