computer graphics


Question Posted Wednesday August 27 2008, 3:52 pm

im a sophomore in high school, and i really would like to learn to make professional graphics. I'm taking a web design class, that will help me with it. But I think it would be cool to make professional pictures for movies, dvd cases, anything like tht too! But how much does a professional computer graphic artist make? And what exactly do they do? And I would like to take some classes on computer graphics. im 15/f/usa
im really creative too =]

I don't want to be a downer because I believe everyone should pursue their dream. That said, my boyfriend is a graphic artist and has been out of college for over a year. He works in a grocery store.

This all depends on your location, but here in NC job prospects are not very good for graphic artists wanting to ever support themselves or a family. He works as a graphic artist part time and makes 8.00 and hour.

If you are very creative I would go for a different career that still employs creativity. Such as web design, culinary school, or possibly interior design.

**Warning: Commerical** If there is an Art Institute in your area, check it out. It is very expensive, but you can get alot of help and they will help you find a job.

Good luck in all your future endeavors!

Peace, Peace. Love, Love. Forever, ever.

Well, being creative will put you on the right foot. A GOOD graphic artist can make good money. You just have to get a stable job. Work for a company doing their graphics. Don't be an independent artist. You won't get very much work probably, unless you are insanely good. Make sure to get some good programs, obviously Photoshop, which is pretty expensive unfortunately. You can take classes in most high schools on graphic design, if you can't take classes, there are many photoshop tutorials on the web you can learn from. College graphic design programs are where you are going to REALLY learn your stuff though.
