[QUOTE="CrimsonRequiem, post: 705146, member: 62286"] Have you ever considered gaming design? It seems kind of in the middle of what you are describing. Plus I would imagine you could use some of your programing knowledge in this field as well as designing stuff. If you really want to be a graphic designer that's fine too, just prepare to take a lot of art classes. You don't have to have amazing drawing or painting skills but the classes themselves help you with design and composition in general. Fun in some sense but prepare to shell out a lot of money for art supplies. Graphic Design is a lot different than what I originally thought it would be like, and there are so many aspects to it that the word graphic design can mean so many things. To tell you the truth I've had more than enough of my fair share of painting classes and drawing naked people, which I never thought I would be doing but here I am doing those things. LoL don't let me steer you away from Art in general just my experience with it so far...and I also heard from our Art department that they plan on making the Graphic Design program a 5 year program instead of the 4 that it is now. Luckily for me I only have to take 1 more semesters worth of classes to graduate. >_<"" [/QUOTE]
