Well I'm schooled (college for Journalism graphics and advertising) and self taught, but not much of an "artist." I guess I more specialize in layout and would probably make a fair creative director.
The truth is, if you are going for the self-taught approach you can still succede and do very well in design. I'd suggest picking up a few books on design theory and typography. I'm always amazed at some of the great skilled artists out there that really don't have any idea that their work could be even better by following a few design guidelines.
Welcome to the community NikonErik. The great thing is you'll find both types of designers here and lots more in your same shoes.
