Let's chat!
Are you a Graphic Design Major (or related field), or planning to major in that once you are in college? What do you want to learn while in the program, and how do you think you can prepare for it? Why do you want to be one? I'm a "Media Arts & Science" Major. It's pretty much a glorified term for Graphic Design. I plan on going into advertising, and I think being on cB for the last 4 years has really helped push my skills... I still would love to learn vexeling from a professional... but it seems that my major lacks professors knowledgable on that... |

I was interested in the graphics field but then after much thought I don't think I can actually keep it up since I get brain dead a lot and am not able to make anything for like...a month each time.
How do you like it so far? What exactly do you do in class? |

How do you like it so far? What exactly do you do in class? Yeah, I know how you feel. You kind of need a never-ending supply of creativity... I'm loving it so far. I get to expand my skills in other programs, like Adobe After Effects, or Final Cut Pro in my video class. My youtube channel (youtube.com/digitalfragrance) has some of my final projects. I'm writing a letter to the Dean, though. This major is more "Techy" than "Graphic Designy". Does that make sense? I want my own individualized major... we'll see how that goes... QUOTE(1angel3 @ Dec 6 2008, 01:02 AM) I plan on it, I want to major in graphic design. To prepare for it I'm Commercial arts class and this site really helped me too. I want to learn vectors better Commerical Art? That sounds really cool! What do you do in that class? QUOTE(Drama @ Dec 6 2008, 05:24 PM) I want to get into Advertisement, or more of a freelance thing, but my situation pretty much rules out college. That's too bad. I hope you'll be able to attend college some time! QUOTE(Tomates @ Dec 6 2008, 08:31 PM) Currently im in 11th grade but im really interested in Graphic Desisgn for college. Do you want to do freelance stuff? Or do you want to work for a Media Company? Do you have any colleges in mind? |
