Inspiring Levle Designer_what i need to study to become a successful level designer?

[Kanga]

Hi Kariless and welcome to cgtalk.
You probably already know, there is a crap load of stuff on the web. I stumbled across a blog once by a level designer and there were amazing details, like the ideal corridor width and how long a player should travel before encountering points of interest. If I were you I would google my pants off :)

Cheers

Hi, Tombery

Thanks Tombery for the advice it’s very helpful to search to becoming a knowledgeable designer. The links looks as if they would be very helpful in my research as to what I would need to do as far as improving my skills.

Also I thought I should mention to everyone, which I should have stated earlier in my first post, I am a student in college currently studying game design and I feel the school I am going to have given me a decent head start, even so I feel I need more training before I official enter the gaming industry. I know how to 3d model and complete basic level design levels and as an inspiring designer I would like to improve my craft in 3D modeling as well, not just my Level Design Skills. I was just wondering are there and other schools, are books I should looking into that would help me in my educating myself farther.

Thanks, Inspiringart

Your comments and post are very help and much appreciated.
