Hey, I'm toolin around on the internet and stuff, and I took a career survey and
it says that my interests ly in arts, suprise surprise that I hang out here,
hehe. Any who, I was just curious I know there are so many good artists in our
community here, how many of you actually WORK in the graphics arts industry?
where did you get started, how much schooling did you do, blah blah you know?
hehe I have a job that according to my career selector says I have a 1% interest
in, and that sounds about right to me, I'm 25 and interested in changing it up a
bit...any thoughts are cool.
I started on graphics back in 4th or 5th grade with my crude html pages of anime
pictures and my porcelain animal collection. I just finished up my resume and
portfolio, viewable here, if
anyone feels so inclined as to take a peek.
I just graduated in May with a BA in graphic design and I couldn't be happier.
My internship really opened my eyes as to what can be expected in the graphics
community. As of this moment I don't yet have a job, but a sign company (ie:
designing large signs such as grand openings and billboards) is "highly
interested."
If you are truely interested in the graphic arts, I'd say take on an internship
and figure out which part of the field you want to concentrate on, be it
webpages, 3D animation, marketing/advertising (logos/business cards/letterhead),
or general layout/design (such as in book layout).
Also work areas can also change from working for a company to doing freelance or
even owning your own graphics business. Someday I hope to have a job designing
movie posters and their corresponding webpage. Someday...
