Computer Graphic Design Freelancing

December11

Graphic design will be one of the fast growing job markets by 2014. The most in demand jobs will be concentrated around graphic design, designing websites and computer animation. The market will be highly competitive even when there are plenty of jobs available in computer graphic design. This is because this is a popular area of study, and many people pursue it as a career, a hobby, or a part time freelancing gig. A four year college degree or a Bachelors Degree is sufficient to become a computer graphic designer. Some technical positions can be obtained with only a two year college degree, or Associates Degree. However, this type of career will not go progress far without further education. Formal education is a must, if you want to pursue this career.

Nearly 3 in every ten of all those working as computer graphic professionals work as independent freelancers. Half of all the freelancers would be holding regular jobs in either any computer graphics company or any other computer related profession. Freelancing is definitely a viable option for those pursuing this career, as small businesses and individuals continue to have more need for their services, but cannot afford the rates of most graphic design firms.

There are several other career options in computer graphic design. You can seek a career in print or audio advertising, television or film media, and book or magazine publishing. Although not wide enough in terms of variety, a career in a small or large specialist company may throw up a steady stream of work. To keep your clients happy and get involved in new projects, you have to show them that you work hard. This is the responsibility of every freelancer in this profession.

If you wish to pursue this as a career, a college degree, desire, and knowing where you want to go is not enough. Development of skills in using computer graphic software and other computer-related work is essential. You should make a portfolio which carries a collection of some of your best work. The portfolio content can be a deciding factor on whether you would get the job or would still be in the queue.

Just after finishing your college, and coming to a decision what you wish to do and where you want to go, your focus should be to get that first entry level job. Online job boards, online or print classified ads or the college or university placement desks are places where you could get to know about computer graphic design jobs. As a freelancer, you could get jobs through online job boards, classified ads as well as job for hire boards. For design careers work for hire boards work better than other careers. The reason for this is that all people concerned know that this is an expensive proposition. Wish you good luck in your pursuit for a graphic design career.

The Best Graphic Designer You’ve Never Heard Of

November4

Ever found out about someone or something that you know is going to be huge but you find it just ahead of the rest of the us? Well I know of one and he’s just waiting for the world to notice. I know with such absolute certainty that he is going to be the designer of such cutting edge art that I need to tell the world about him, I feel that if you are someone who appreciates art and can handle people pushing the limits of art that you will be in awe of his work. My opinion is that the great artists always create art that is unapologetic and uncompromising. This great artist is Kaalum Ross aka. Rob Church.

When I first discovered his work I was blow away by the depth of symbolism in his work as I am very interested in symbols because they keep coming up in the greatest works in history. Take Michelangelo or Da Vinci and their great works. They’re just full of symbols and they truly are the unconscious power that gets us in our guts. Rob/Kaalum’s work has this deep meaning and he does it without trying, it’s as if he’s so in touch that he can’t create anything that isn’t deeply powerful. Of course he is also very uncompromising in his critics of various institutions and society’s ideas.

It’s in this honest and unapologetic visions of our world that Rob/Kaalum works hold such great value, this is something we need in the world more now than ever before. Our world is upside down, doctors destroy health, educations completely destroy learning and so on. We need people to wake us up from our deathly slumber in order for us to stop walking to our deaths without ever questioning why we suffer so.

Two themes of Rob/Kaalums works are women and the Christian Church, these two intense hot topics are ones that absolutely need more open discussion and critics. Women of course are still used as sexual symbols more than any other vehicle for subversive advertising. This destroys their important and needed roles other than the sex kitten or vamp, Rob/Kaalum makes sure you question your unconscious attraction to any female image. The other theme (amongst many) that he really gets into is the Christian Church. This is such an important thing to question that it almost is unparalleled in it’s importance.

One needs to only look at the major historical events of the “holy church” and it becomes obvious that it has deep well of blood on it’s hands. If you don’t believe me just look at the Inquisition or the witches hammer or maybe the recent Native residential schools with their 50-60% death rates. Any artist brave enough to thoughtfully expose the dark side of our religious institutions is a splash of cold clear water to our hazy vision of the world.

In the end the basic thing to know is that there is an unknown brilliant artist just on the verge of exposing to the world his great and uncompromising visions and if you want to a part of this then you can contact him at the link below. I already know what going to happen and that I am very lucky to have known him before the world does. So if your looking for some amazing art and are willing to be open to the most honest visions you can get then you need to contact him before the line gets so long that you can’t.
