Cletus Makler: There are many different types of jobs you can undertake with Graphic Design and Media. There are specific companies that do just graphic design such as product, packaging, logo or web or even film titles. Your field can expand into many different categories. You could also end up working for an advertising firm. You may do small little things such as greeting cards or t shirt designs. I know that some animation studios such as Pixar look specifically for Graphic Designers to help in the process of visual development. It just really depends what you are specifically going for, look for small and large companies. Good luck!...Show more
Donte Hamme: Its sort of the same thing. Most likely digital design involves a broader scope of subject and has to do with more of a computer, tech based curriculum.Graphic Design you will learn about the fundamentals and typography and overall communication through graphics and so on. It will be more about the field whe! re digital design will probably be more about latest graphics trends and web design, flash and so on.If you're a kid, realize that flashy "cool" schools try to get you all excited about graphics as a career, but its not such a wonderful field. I mean, the PROFESSION of Graphic Design in itself is a respectable one which has a lot of history and it's fundamental in a lot of fields whether in commerce or non-commercial like education and even medical areas, infrastructure, etc.You see, graphic design is also those highway signs you see, there's a reason why a typeface was chosen and the color of the sign itself is. Those government forms you use, the application for your college, the receipts of your shopping, its all graphic design. Mind you a lot of gov't forms would benefit from a great graphic designer. With digital design you just concern yourself about flash, literally. You just try to out slick the other with no concentration on solutions to problems. A graphic designe! r, a real one would say, design a form to HELP the user of tha! t form figure out how to fill it out with less stress, at play in that solution is organizing the form information.Now in digital design, you just concern yourself with Photoshop trickery, its not focused on using the brain on other levels, no focus on solutions.Anyway, in reality, this world does not need more graphic designers. Its one of the most common fields for kids who want to be cool, to join or learn. Especially in this internet age. The profession of graphic designer has been made into a slightly pretentious field of a lot of software focused workers. There's not much respect as a result of how common the field has become. Many of the people that go into digital graphics just do work based on software trickery. But if you have them set up an enterprise digital assets management system, their lost. Or if the computer crashes, their like huh? A great graphic designer knows computers at a pro-level at the same time knows the tracking is off on that headline.If I were! you, in 2010, I'd look into learn anything in the technology field. The tech sector will get you work in the future.Graphic Design has been diluted. If you want to make the top dollars you have to be very, very talented and know your stuff on all kinds of levels. And positions that hire that are very limited.But since the economy is supposedly bad, employers seek lots of temporary-contract style hires, and from personal experience, being a graphic designer is like being an actor always going out for an audition. Thats what it feels like sometimes....Show more
George Dingeldein: Also, what would it be like to be a graphic designer and how much education is needed?
Spencer Heidtbrink: neither unless you're from a rich family. Find out from real people that are doing this for a living how hard it is to get a job and when you get one, they pay sucks. For only about 80% of us. So be honest, if you are in the top 20% of your class, easily, then go for it. Otherwise, ! get out of school now and use the money you would have spent to open a ! nice safe hotdog stand or something very similar. You will make a much better living and you can pursue your art dreams as you can afford them....Show more
