Introduction to Graphic Design Education & Careers

The graphic designer's motto could be, "If I can see it in my mind, I can create it on the printed page." Yet, as vast of a landscape as that defines, it still falls short of the spetacular potential now afforded to the modern graphic artist. Not only do graphic designers have the latest technologies of the printed media as their pallet, but they also can see their visions displayed on web pages, television and in the cinema.

A career in graphic design is the marrying of art and commerce. Graphic designers use a variety of print, electronic, and film media to create designs that meet their clients' commercial (and in some cases non-commercial) needs. Using computer software such as Adobe Photoshop, QuarkXPress, Illustrator and/or Macromedia Fireworks, Flash and Freehand, they develop the overall layout and design of magazines, newspapers, journals, corporate reports, and other publications. Much of the work involves the use of vector images that can be manipulated easily. They also produce promotional displays, outdoor advertising, and marketing brochures for products and services, design unique and effective company logos, and develop signs. An increasing number of graphic designers develop material to appear on the world wide web. Indeed web designers represent one of the fastest growing related career fields and in many cases individuals work with the web and with traditional media. Graphic designers bring the talents and creativity of their artistic vision home to our every day world. They inspire and persuade us with their compelling images. They add the color, shape and texture that enriches our work, play and lives in general -- and the world's demand for qualified graphic designers is growing every year.

While it is true that the fundamentals of art and graphic design are as important now as they ever were, it is also true that the field has never been wider for these talents' exploration and expression. The development of new technologies is on the horizon. Other technologies, once thought to be new, not so very long ago, are becoming a part of our everyday landscape. With an ever-increasing appreciation of and demand for graphic imagery by the marketplace and the media, the outlook for creative and innovative designers who can master their art in these new environments has never been brighter.

Art Carrier - Interior Designer

Interior design refers to the decoration and functionality of any interior space. Interior designers act as consultants to ensure that their clients get what they want and need.

Careers

Interior designers must be good with color, fabric, and furniture; have knowledge of materials, and possess good communication skills.

Their work includes creating lay outs, and even purchasing, ordering, supervising contractors, and overseeing budgets.

Most salaried interior designers work for furniture and home furnishings stores, interior designing services, and architectural firms. Others are self-employed and do freelance work -- full time or part time -- in addition to a salaried job in another occupation.

Education

Professionals in the field typically hold at least a bachelor's degree in interior design.

Education in the field will strike a balance between mastering design skills and creativity that will lead to innovative thinking about the inner and outer environment.

Radiasi Tsunami Jepun

BEIJING, 16 Mac – Perwakilan Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) di China hari ini menegaskan bahawa tiada bukti radiasi dari kompleks tenaga nuklear di timur laut Jepun menular secara ketara ke negara-negara jiran.

“WHO mahu memberi jaminan kepada kerajaan dan orang ramai bahawa tiada bukti buat masa sekarang penularan antarabangsa secara signifikan dari loji nuklear (di Jepun),” kata Michael O’Leary, wakil WHO di China, dalam satu kenyataan.

“Khabar angin disebarkan menerusi mesej berteks dan cara-cara lain kononnya ancaman radiasi menular merentasi Asia dan negara-negara lain ekoran kemudahan nuklear yang rosak di Jepun,” katanya.

“Kerajaan-kerajaan dan orang ramai digalak supaya mengambil langkah untuk menghentikan khabar angin (seperti ini), yang membawa kesan buruk kepada moral orang ramai,” katanya lagi. – Reuters

Susahkah melukis...?

Soalan yang sering ditanya pada aku..tak kira oleh sapa,orang yang tengok aku lukis ke atau anak murid aku sendiri.

Sebenarnya,bagi aku,jawapan ni ada dalam kepala masing-masing. Melukis..sesuatu yang abstrak. Apa yang nak dilukis,macam mana nak mula,dari mana nak mula,guna apa...tu pun pilihan masing-masing. Yang pentingnya,lukislah dari hati.

Pedulikan dengan bahasa-bahasa formalistik dalam seni. Ketepikan aliran-aliran seni yang bagi tak biasa dengannya,boleh menyesakkan dada,mematikan gerak tari tangan. Pedulikan karya-karya orang lain yang ada kalanya,sungguh memukau mata,tapi mematikan keinginan sendiri untuk melukis bilamana merasakan karya orang itu lebih bagus,aku tak bagus. Jangan lupa,lukisan itu luahan perasaan,yang dibentuk dengan garis-garis,lorekan-lorekan,titik-titik atau apa juga rupa bentuk yang terhasil dari tarian tangan.

Jangan juga lupa, karya orang lain tu,luahan hati mereka,manakan sama dengan perasaan kita. Lain orang,lain pelukis,lain penampilan dan garapannya.Yang penting,melukislah!!!

Yang pentingnya,bagi aku,pilih subjek apa yang nak dilukis,gerakkan jari,hayunkan tangan,enjoy dengan gerak hati. 'Contenglah' kertas dengan bahasa hati...binalah garis-garis dengan rasa hati. Kalau ada rasa marah,marahlah pada kertas,pada kain,tumpahkan amarah tu secukup rasa. Kalau sayu,tumpahkanlah tangisan hati ke atas kanvas,hamburkan kesedihan,kemarahan,atau apa juga rasa hati. Melukis tidak salah kerana melukis itu adalah menumpahkan perasaan atas medium yang 'dibenarkan'.

Dan,yang terakhir,paling penting...jangan dibuang lukisan tersebut,walau seburuk mana pun,JANGAN DIBUANG. Setiap lukisan itu sebenarnya mempunyai nilai tersendiri. Mungkin hari ini ia tidak begitu dipeduli.

Alat Muzik Traditional Melayu

Alat muzik tradisional telah lama wujud di negara ini dan di percayai menerima pengaruh dari negara luar. Terbahagi kepada empat kumpulan yang utama iaitu kordofon (bertali), mambranofon (pukulan), idiofon (perkusi) dan erofon (tiupan). Selain daripada untuk berhibur, alat muzik turut dimainkan semasa majlis khas atau upacara adat yang penuh dengan simbolisme. Alunan dan irama yang dizahirkan daripada alat muzik ini merupakan ekspresi perasaan yang menggambarkan suka, duka, kekuatan semangat dan ketenangan jiwa. Kini, alat muzik tradisional telah mula diperkenalkan di sekolah-sekolah dan institusi pengajian tinggi untuk tujuan pertandingan dan meraikan acara rasmi agar warisan budaya ini terpelihara.
