The Winning Design.....

Jordan Frederick | Image Composition 241

Our class was recently given the opportunity to utilize their Photoshop and Illustrator skills to create a poster for an upcoming event with Santa. This event is sponsored by both PHS Drama and the Mount Carmel Foundation. With a few minor tweaks, you will see this poster all over town. Great job, Jordan!

This immediately made me think of Senior Projects! Almost all of the proposed projects have a business card as one of their promotional pieces. These are great examples (especially if you are only creating 1) of how to really set yourself apart!

Flexible Jobs that Pay Well

Career #2 - Graphic Designer

Graphic designers create and communicate ideas visually, verbally, and in writing. As a graphic designer, you could find yourself developing and designing publications, creating brochures for products, or even designing logos for businesses.

Freedom Factor: Freelance graphic designers often work from home offices and can set their own hours. If you're a creative person, you may find many jobs repetitive and stifling... but not this one!

Training: Earning an associate's degree or certificate in graphic design from a two-year or three-year professional school should qualify you as an assistant to a graphic designer.

Salary: According to the American Institute of Graphic Arts, staff-level graphic designers had a median salary of $45,000 in 2008.
