Computer Graphics Career

A Computer Graphics Career: What Exactly Is Involved?

Working in computer graphics involves finding ways to communicate visually. You would choose how to convey a message in print, electronic, or film media by determining whether or not to use illustrations, photography, or animation, the color and type of font, and the overall layout. You could have a career at a magazine or newspaper, or you could design marketing brochures, packaging for products, logos, signs and signage systems, or promotional displays. Or you could design material for the Internet, multimedia projects, or create the credits on a TV show or movie.

In any of these jobs, you need to figure out what the client wants and how best to provide it. You might need to take into account cultural, physical, or social factors to figure out what consumers need. Then you have to create an initial sketch or layout and give it to your client or your creative director to get approval before creating the final work.

What Education Is Required for a Computer Graphics Career?

Most employers prefer applicants with a bachelor's degree, although you may be able to get an entry level job with an associate degree. Your curriculum should include:
  • Commercial graphics production
  • Computerized design
  • Principles of design
  • Printing techniques
  • Studio art
  • Website design
Additionally classes that can prove useful include:
  • Business
  • Cultural studies
  • Marketing
  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Writing
If you want to pursue an associate degree, you can likely expect your 2-year program to focus more narrowly on the technical parts of computer graphics without those additional liberal arts courses.
