Also, if I do take Computer Arts:New Media, what type of career opportunities are there? I know obviously if I take Graphic Design, I become a Graphic Designer, am I right? Please help!

A. Hello! I'm a student at AAU and here's about as much as I know: New Media is part of the Computer Arts school, so you're going to learn more about web design and web graphics. You'll probably learn programs like Photoshop, Flash, After Effects Fireworks, Dreamweaver, etc. and probably some basic HTML, CSS, etc. Graphic Design is more traditional arts based, where you'll learn the principals of design and stuff like typology, calligraphy, print and package design. You can always change your major if you end up liking one more than the other. You can probably even float between the two and still be a graphic designer, but learn the tools of the new media trade.

What are good books for learning graphic arts?
Q. I was interested in using my creativity and possibly learning graphic arts concentrated on web developing. What are some good books to learn about graphic arts, art, and web design?
Asked by hardboiled - Wed Mar 25 13:40:07 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Meggs, History of Graphic Design Landa, Graphic Design Solutions, also Advertising by Design Carter, Day and Meggs, Typographic Design Clair, Busic-Snyder, A Typographic Workbook Samara, Making and Breaking the Grid Those books will all give you a good grounding in graphic design, typography and the history of Graphic design. These are the foundations for being a graphic designer. The software is secondary; once you've studied design concepts, then progress to the software, and web design. If you are going to learn web design, although you can use software that handles the code for you, it's a good idea to get at least a basic grounding in HTML, XHTML and CSS.

A. I'm not sure it would be anything we'd recognize as "martial arts" in the same sense as the empty-hand combat systems we normally associate with the term. I'm sure your average foot soldier was drilled more in marching than in hand-to-hand combat. Some of them probably practiced some folk form of wrestling or pugilism, but I doubt it was drilled as part of a military exercise. Most of the upper-class "gentlemen officers" of the time probably had some schooling in fencing/saber fighting, and maybe even in the use of great swords for the purposes of dueling.

Is a liberal arts education at a private college really worth the price? What do employers look for?

A. If I was hiring and you gave me your resume listing a liberal arts education I would consider it a mark against you! I would consider a high school graduate who worked at a fast food place as being the better employee. Liberal arts degree means to me: You have led a sheltered and pampered life, took the easy way out and spent more time partying that learning. You abused limited educational resources while more motivated, intelligent and hard working poor people were denied the opportunity you waisted.

A. I am in the Liberal Arts School at Penn State University. I love it! What a liberal art's degree is... is a degree is is less focused on a single subject such as say... history, and it is more focused on general studies, however, you will be taking more social type of classes than a regular degree. A lot of companies like hiring people with liberal arts degree's due to the fact that they usually perform better when making speech's, or any type of social work. Hope this helps.

Is it reasonable to double major in engineering and digital arts?
Q. I'm really strong in math and sciences, and it would definitely be a lot more useful to society for me to become an engineer. However, I've just discovered a passion for digital arts, whether it's modeling something 3-D in Maya or filming, editing, and adding effects to a video. Would it be reasonable for me to double major? Would a major in engineering and a minor in digital arts be better? Would an engineering career even be helped by training in digital arts?

A. All martial arts you need to have good balance. However, you don't need to have it when you begin training. You develop it over time through practice. Many com in thinking they have good balance, but their balance isn't the same for martial arts training. ninja you left out something very important for martial arts. The most important thing is positioning. You have to have the right position for timing, power, distance and balance.
