Question by Christina: Can I get a job in graphics design with only a high school diploma?
Lately I’ve been thinking about my future but I don’t know how I’m going to get scholarships to pay for college. I heard if you make straight A’s you can get a scholarship that pays for you whole college but I make A’s, B’s & C’s. Also if you’re good at a sport you can get scholarships. I play track & cross country but I’m one of the last few to cross the finish line which is not good enough for a scholarship. I have no idea if i’m going to be able to get enough scholarships to pay for college. I was wondering if I can get a job in graphics design that has a good pay with only a high school diploma & a photoshop cs4 certification. Any sources for scholarships in addition would be greatly appreciated.

i know every one hates community colleges, but if you’re doing graphic design then a class from a community college may be good enough. and with your grades the only other option is to take a loan, and you have to pay back all of that.
I know this isn’t relevant, but we have so much in common! I’m on the cross country team (not the best =P) and both of my parents do graphic design!!

Design Dialogues Fall 2010: Computation After New Media
Media Design Program, Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California
Guest Curator: Garnet Hertz
This lecture series explores key concepts in computational media to empower individuals to imagine, collaborate, provoke, and prototype through computing.
As a result of its widespread adoption, digital media has transitioned from "new media" to a ubiquitous part of contemporary life. This shift from novelty to familiarity has considerable ramifications for academic institutions working in the fields of media arts and digital culture. Exploring the formal potentials of information and networked technologies is no longer of significant interest: information technologies need to be understood as an embedded part of culture and history. Digital cultural practices must also work to extend their parent disciplines, including the studio arts, media history and theory, design, computer science and engineering.
Each speaker in the "Computation After New Media" series will focus on one word— a single term they feel is a core part of their work within the framework of computation. These lectures will be aimed at exploring the underlying structures of computationalism, providing an important leverage into the philosophy, languages, and principles of digital media.

massagetherapyworld.com http massagenerd.com Sponsor www.massageliabilityinsurancegroup.com Engineering Background Before I became a massage therapist, I was an electrical engineer and engineering manager in the high tech world. Yes, I’m a geek. I’ve designed consumer products, business products, managed teams of engineers and quality assurance technicians and was even Director of Engineering (which I left for a 30% raise and a less impressive title). I’ve worked at a couple of businesses you’ll recognize: Tandy (Radio Shack’s design group), AT&T, and Intel (the computer processor company, not the government intelligence community). My years as an engineer allowed me to spend a lot of time in Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. I’ve eaten great food, met wonderful people and had an opportunity to be a foreigner experiencing a very different culture. I highly recommend it! I’ve had the opportunity and challenge to work with some of the planet’s smartest people and hopefully they’ve gained at least a fraction of what I did by the encounter. I’ve organized conferences and spoken to audiences of over 500 people. I guess I’m a natural, or as one of my students put it I “love to talk”. I also discovered that I love to teach. Web Design I’ve been designing websites for internal and personal use for years and have recently started designing and fixing websites for local businesses. If you’ve got a website whose code is getting a little creaky, I can help. I’m not a graphic designer, so …
