Graphic Design / Computer Animation

elite · 29 Jun 2006 at 18:45

Ok so I'll be getting my "A Level" results back next month and Iv got a place at Uni doing Graphic Design and Computer Animation but when I get my results I need to pick what I want to do. I really don’t know which to pick so I'm wonder which job pays the best and how easy or hard it is to get work in either of the areas.

Iv tried Google for job wages but didn’t find much. If there is any Graphic Designers or Computer Animators how is ** job and what’s it like day to day based?

Cheers – Mark

That’s just it, can’t seem to make up my mind, iv student AVCE Art and Design which included:

Graphic Design
Web Animation
Painting and Drawing
Textiles
Ceramics
3D Design
Digital Imaging
Photography

I had my interview at Uni for a Graphic Design course and was accepted, I got a reply back for Computer Animation saying ill be accepted if I get two B's. So really I can do both.

Yes money is importent, why wouldnt it be, Im willing to give a little of something up for better pay which will mean a better lifestyle do I dont see the problem really.

My last review after I had made the changes from my first review I got:

Graphic Design - A
Web Animation - None (first year and Digi Image covers the same criteria)
Painting and Drawing - A
Textiles - C
Ceramics - C
3D Design - None (only first year and I lost most of my work)
Digital Imaging - A
Photography - B

About the money thing, I must get CC for Graphics and BB for Animation doesnt that mean Animation would get more money or?

Sounds to me like you've just done a little introductory course, that hasn't really taught you much about each thing? If you done it at college, then it probably didn't teach you anything useful.

Couldnt be more wrong mate, I did GCSE Art and Design at school and got A*A*, Iv just done a 12Unit AVCE Art and Design course which is 2 A Levels and iv learnt a lot.

Im best at Digital Imaging and Graphic design using Photoshop, im also a perfestionist when it comes to presenting my work, when looking at my class mates its the first thing I look at.
