I would like to peruse a career in digital media. In the state of Florida there are about 194,360 people with careers as graphic design artists. The outlook of this career is expected to grow 13%. The average annual earnings in this career are $43,390 in the state of Florida.
Usually, in order to advance in this career, people need 1 to 3 years of working experience before they can move on to more advanced jobs. A bachelor's degree in graphic design is usually required for both, beginning and advanced jobs. To get a bachelor’s degree in fine arts or graphic design, programs are offered at many colleges and universities. Most curriculums in colleges and universities include studio art, principals of design, computerized design, commercial graphics production, and Web site designing (collegetoolkit.com). Also, there are some other courses you must take, other than design courses and liberal arts education. Those courses are history, writing, psychology, sociology, foreign languages, cultural studies, etc.
Three universities of my choice that have a good graphic design program are University of North Florida, Florida State University, and University of West Florida. The tuition of UNF is $15,625 for Florida residents per year (collegecalc.org). Tuition for FSU is $19,167 for Florida residents per year (admissions.fsu.edu). The tuition for UWF is $16,511 for Florida residents per year (uwf.edu).
The Graphic Design and Digital Media program at the University of North Florida is a limited program designed to offer the student an in depth study of the field of graphic design (unf.edu). Students will be exposed to unique learning opportunities and industry standard soft-ware packages that will provide them with a competiti...

...to be creative and I think it would be cool to design things that could be everywhere such as a magazine cover, movie posters, etc. Some things about this career that don't appeal to me are things such as if people don't like my work or if I do a bad job on a project.
Some personal qualities for success in this career are creativity, drawing, and photog-raphy. Some qualities that I can improve on are editing photos and designing things on a com-puter.

A good design begins with a creation or plan for the making of an object or service. It is a strategic approach towards a person’s (usually a client or target audience) required unique expectations. A design generally defines the specifications and parameters in achieving its main objectives. Often there are no key attributes as to what would make a design successful and interesting. Products and peoples needs and wants or taste often change and revolve around time. This brings a definite change in the market and its emerging’s trends. This cycle of evolution will always exist, but finally it is the factor of emotional response with the customer that will determine whether a product is successful or not. Whether the design is an object or it is a concept, the design that we see is an accumulation of various concepts and decisions that have been brought together from a variety of disciplines. In order for a consumer to view the design as something that is good it takes a unique combination of aesthetics, quality and ergonomics to make a design successful. Often we recognize a bad design at its first glance and a bad design often forces one to take in many confusing and conflicted content. So what makes our design/ product fail?
The famous joke,”How do you get to Carnegie Hall?” could also apply to becoming a renowned graphic designer. The key is practice, practice, practice. A few months ago, I emailed Don Howard, a former Disney Imagineer and owner of Don Howard Studios in Huntsville, Alabama. I wrote to Mr. Howard seeking advice on the steps I needed to take to have a successful career. His advice was simple, obtain your degree and draw something everyday.
Frieda Kahlo was born Magdalena Carmen Frieda Kahlo y Calderon in Coyoacan, Mexico, July 6th, 1907. She did not in the first place plan to become a creator; she entered a pre-Master of Education system in Mexico City. She endured more than large integer dealing in her brio time and during her convalescence she began to discomfit. Her beaux-arts, mostly self-portraits and still life, filled with the colors and forms of Mexican folk art. Frieda created some 200 spacing’s, artistic production and sketches germane to her education in life, physical and aroused pain and her churning relationship with her ex husband Diego. She produced 143 beaux arts, lv of which are self-portraits. At the time of her exhibition first step, Frieda’s health was such that her Doctor told her that she was not to leave her patch. She insisted that she was going to wait on her opening, and, in Frieda style, she did. She arrived in an ambulance and her bed in the backward of a transport. She was placed in her bed and four men carried her in to the waiting guests.
This last thought led me to seriously think about which area of design I should be researching for, and unless an opportunity arises for a graphic illustrator position soon after graduation, I foresee me doing freelance work. With this in mind I started looking into what being a freelancer entails, which led me to an article titled, ‘So, You Want a Creative Job?’ (Karjaluoto, 2012)
Many ancient works of art represent political functions with different types of monuments and massive works of architecture. The political functions of ancient culture did have works of art. For instance, artistic styles, particularly in sculpture and painting, remained highly consistent with the ancient culture for many years. This consistency of architecture indicates levels of cultural and political stability that was strong enough to resist sudden changes in ancient cultures. Having the ability to build monumental structures indicates that ancient rulers were wealthy and powerful enough to mobilize the political structures, as well.
In today's world, photographs are the most form of media to deliver news and messages. They depict the mere fact, but are censored to hide violence. Such an act conceals the reality of life and is unfair. Graphic images must always be exposed to the public as they present the blatant reality and educate people about world crisis.
While comparing and contrasting between my career choices as either, a video game designer, or as a computer support technician, the requirements for both, aren’t very different, The soft and hard skills required for these jobs include teamwork, communication, basic computer knowledge, and a college degree.

Introduction The use of visual supports in special education has long been a practice in developing individualized educational support systems. Visual supports are tools that are used to increase the understanding of language, environmental expectations, and provide structure and support for individuals with disabilities. Visual supports are flexible enough that they can be provided in a variety of ways, and across multiple settings. Since the rise of inclusive classrooms, students with disabilities have been included in the general education classroom for a portion, if not a majority, of their school day.
Literature has learned to grow and progress over the years, but still till this day graphic novels are having trouble with being accepted as literature. Good literature is a piece of work that can incorporate writing and illustrations that pulls the reader in and leads them throughout the book. After reading a couple of graphic novels I have to disagree with the scholars who believe that they aren’t a piece of literature. Each graphic novel tells a story just like “regular” novels do. They each capture your imagination and keep you interested. They may look childish to some, but you should never judge a book by its cover. “Graphic novels that succeed as literature escape the norm and invite critical discussion, analysis, and, often, comparison with text-only books featuring similar situations, climactic crises, or aesthetics” (Goldsmith). Graphic novels tell a story, draw in a different audience, and expands a reader’s imagination, so with that said, they should be considered as literature.
Interior design is a complicated profession. It is sometimes referred to as interior architecture and often confused with interior decorating. It involves the design, organization and planning of an interior structure rather than just refinishing and furnishing existing interior spaces. It involves managing a business, hopefully meeting the desires of the client and delivering to them an interior environment that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. There is a lot more to interior design than first meets the eye.

Without a doubt, being a highly respected photographer would be my dream career. The type of job that wouldn 't feel like a job because it is one of my favorite hobbies. Growing up I always noticed how much longer I took to take a picture of someone than when they did the same for me. I soon realized that I actually had a passion for getting the right shot that I understood that not every pictures the same and that certain angles made others look better in places. The praise I received for taking a lot of these pictures motivated me. I liked that I hardly ever got told to take these pictures over and I loved that I was always the one chosen to take them time after time. Once I understood that I had this passion for photography I made sure a camera was the first thing on my Christmas list that year. I also knew that there was nothing but room for improvement, so i sought out private lessons which I worked and saved up for.
