I am considering a major in graphic design. I was just wondering if a good knowledge of computers is essential.

(Thanks Ali!!)

Technology is a wonderful thing. I would say one would need basic computer operational skills coming into the design major here. You'll learn about and how to use the design programs in the classes you take!
Graphic Design is a computer heavy major, but not in a hardware, know how to take it apart, kind of way. Be prepared to spend lots of time in front of a screen! If you are worried, download the trial versions of the adobe programs and do a few tutorials to get a feel!! All you need is accurate control over a mouse and you'll be fine ^_^
Let me know if you'd like me to post some tutorials in any of the adobe software ^_^

Peace

I love cameras. I love cameras even more when they work.

I ordered a Nikon D 40, which, was sent to me, BROKEN....which I had to send back. Oh I know, lets disconnect the flash INTERNALLY!

So, calling back and forth for a few days lead me to a customer support representative
who obviously disliked his job to the point where he was talking to me about how much working at B+H blew. I was like, dude, I just want a shipping label so I can get my camera back...."and today there was this guy..." SHIPPING LABEL!
He FINALLY sends me a shipping label, or tells me he's going to send me a shipping label. The label shows up in my inbox JUST in time to leave for Christmas vacation, literally as I'm leaving the label pops up. I now have 5 days to figure out how I'm going to ship back to B&H...I will never buy camera equipment from them again.

So yeah, the lack of photographs is due to a lack of camera.

>_<

Here's a panorama of my room in Main Street Suites.
