Are you super creative?
Take a look at MULTIMEDIA DESIGN.
What is it?
Are you super creative, like to draw cartoon characters, take great photographs, or simply like to doodle? Multimedia design can help you take your creative talent, combine it with skills and technology, and turn you in to an in-demand multimedia or graphic designer. Multimedia design involves computers, animation, photography, video, and printing, creating all sorts of things from posters and magazines, to websites and online video games, to photos and videos.
