Possible Career Option

Since the beginning of my interest on how things work around a computer, one of my career goals is to be a graphic artist. Why a graphic artist? Its because the thing that pulled me to a computer are computer games. I know its a shallow reason why I became so interested in computers but its games that made me think of my future around computer games. There are times I would always think of my future on how would I apply my interests in video games onto pursuing a career.

I have reviewed some of my skills. My strengths has led me to dreaming to be a graphic artist. I believe that with my artistic background, my deep understanding of a game's strengths and weaknesses and modernized creativity, really make a good graphic artist.

A graphic designer ( also known as a graphic artist and communication designer ) is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography or motion graphics to create the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising. They are also sometimes responsible for typesetting illustration and web design, or take a teaching position, although these specialties may be assigned to specialists in various graphic design occupations. A core responsibility of the designer's job is to present information in a way that is both accessible and aesthetic.
