What is some graphic design software for beginners?

Posted by admin on March 7th, 2010 and filed under graphic design | 7 Comments »

I currently use Print Shop but am looking for some better graphic design software. I am a fast learner but am still looking for something user friendly that I will be able to jump right into with little experience at first. I will be using the program for designing graphics for t-shirts. Any suggestions?

Does it matter where you get your graphic design certificate?

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under graphic design | 1 Comment »

I just graduated with a BA degree in business administration. I am planning to work full time and get a certificate in graphic design. I live in Los Angeles and thinking about going to UCLA or Santa Monica College to get the certificate.

So, does it matter where did I get my graphic design certificate when I look for a job in graphic design industry in the future?

If so, which college or university do you recommend?

Thank you for your time!

This is a video survey of UMSL students talking about the differences between fine art and graphic design. The project resulted in the creation of study fine design, a movement that hopes to blur the line between fine art and graphic design, break boundaries, and start a new art revolution! Thanks to all of my friends for appearing in the video, especially my beautiful girlfriend Lauren leblanc. music by blur (please don’t sue me)

I really want to get into graphic design, where do I start?

Posted by admin on February 15th, 2010 and filed under graphic design | 2 Comments »

I’m a terrible artist, and I’m equally as bad with computers. However, I’m intrigued by the prospect of graphic design. Should I start off with learning art without computers, and then moving to art with computers? Is there a computer program that is common for graphic designers? Where do I start?

What are good alternatives to graphic design?

Posted by admin on February 9th, 2010 and filed under graphic design | 1 Comment »

So i’ve been wanting to go into graphic design for about 6 years now, ever since i started doing that type of stuff. Im about to go into my second year of college, and I may be in a predicament. I took some art and design classes my first year, but all the next classes are restricted to Bachelor of Design/Fine Arts students, of which I was rejected to when i applied. I go to the university of alberta, and they have no other art courses for people who ARENT in said programs. I LOVE art (primarily graphic design), movies, music, and all forms of entertainment. I had to request to register for certain art classes, so i may not get them. So, upon NOT getting into them, i have to think of what i can do in the meantime, or even a different career. What are some ideas of good careers related to graphic design or my hobbies?
