Music and Graphic Design

A lot of people think of graphic design just to be logo design, manipulating art / photo work and even web design, but actually it just matters on what direction you take your graphic design ability.  Me for instance would love to explore of my graphic design ability in the Music Entertainment.  As I grew up I played the trumpet throughout my elementary and high school years, the same time when I began to become interested in Graphic Design.  I look back and everything that I have learned throughout the years in music, computers and animation I can see what I'm able to do to make music / music videos more appealing.  As you watch how they make the videos you can see that sometimes some of the animation is done in-front of a blue or green screen so they can get the key points of the person and or persons body so they can manipulate it into their editing program.  You can add Photoshop, Illustrator and even flash into music videos to catch viewers attention and make it appealing.  

ONLINE PORTFOLIO'S

Having a online portfolio is very helpful when it comes to you and the Graphic Design world.  As you get out, grab a degree and become a freelancer you'll need a portfolio that everyone can see and enjoy looking at before they have any idea of hiring you.  Before creating your web portfolio you need to think on what exactly you want companies to see that you have created.  Your created pieces needs to be your best work and be in a well organized way.  Having it not organized will frustrate people when they visit your site and might end up ruining your way on making it in the computer design industry.  A very good way to contact you through your site is to create an e-mail or commit box into your site so that way they can e-mail you anytime that they need or just leave you a comment on what they like or dislike.  You can also create a link inside your site for your blogging profile, by having a blogging profile they'll see what you have been talking about through the time that they have visited your site and what you've written down into your blog

Recently i've been learning a lot on web design, animation, photo editing, kinetic typography and etc...  I plan on making a online portfolio because with the world becoming more and more digital I'm going to need a way to reach out to the designing / animation world other than face to face.  I will create it in a very well organized way in terms of easy to find what they need to see from me and at the same time make it fun and enjoying so my site makes them come back for more.  I'm going to add an e-mail section and comment section so they will be able to contact me when ever they need to, and  links so they can visit my three profiles ( myspac, facebook and blogger)
