			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Among the exciting, cutting edged, and future possibility careers  available to college students and grads today are the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_computer_graphics_software">3D  Modeler</a> and Computer Artist career tracks. Although these two fields  may sound practically identical, they really have a number of  noteworthy differences. This is seen not just in their educational  requirements, but in their job descriptions and job prospects, as well.</p>
<p>The education required for these two related yet different  occupations varies. 3D Modeler programs offer <a href="http://www.gearhob.com/">mechanical design</a> and industrial  training so that the candidate is capable of understanding machinery,  gearing, balance, materials science, and varying additional facets  involved with physical engineering. These programs concentrate on the  development of surfacing aesthetics and strong modeling, along with  technical skills involved in 3D. In contrast, Computer Artist training  programs require at least an Associate&#8217;s of Arts degree, although a  bachelor&#8217;s degree of arts is preferred, along with minimally one to  three years experience dealing with Macintosh computers in a field  relevant to graphics. A well prepared candidate will have strong skills  in creativity and versatility to perform tasks on a variety of software  platforms. Experience and mastery of skills should be proven in <a href="http://www.photoshop.com/">PhotoShop</a>, Illustrator, and in  Flash, Design, DreamWeaver, and HTML programming. Adaptive solving of  problems and thinking creatively are among the types of computer artist  characteristics.</p>
<p>The job descriptions and requirements of both  careers present differences between the 3D Modeler and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_art">Computer Artist</a>,  too. 3D modeling has much to do with creating wire frame, mathematical  personifications of 3D objects by utilizing specifically created  computer programs such as 3ds Max or Maya. Such 3D Modelers generally  employ one of among three different techniques to do this, such as box  modeling, useful for developing characters and living models; patch  modeling, useful for developing buildings, furniture, and cars, i.e.  physical objects which possess curved shapes; and poly-modeling,  effective, advanced, and exact modeling techniques. In contrast, a  computer artist literally creates animation and graphics out of their  own creativity and observing the customer&#8217;s guidelines. Such employers  will anticipate that their computer artists are capable of creating  multimedia presentations, brochures, promotional pieces, web sites,  computer artwork, and technical illustrations to be utilized in  literature, technical manuals, newsletters, and any other forms of  media.</p>
<p>Though both career paths have good job prospects for  the future, there are differences here as well. 3D modeler jobs  typically lie in the fields of film effects, props, and characters;  CD-Rom design; broadcast design; location based entertainment; game  design; <a href="http://www.nimbacreations.com/">television special  effects</a>, props, and characters; simulations; and Web site design.  Entertainment is not the only field in which 3D modelers find work.  Chemistry, architecture, geology, engineering, and medical fields all  require professional and capable 3D object modelers to design research  and development models. 3D modeling jobs should grow by twenty-six  percent between now and 2016, a far greater percentage than the average  for overall occupations. These workers earn a median average nationally  of more than $50,000. Computer Artists find work in the booming field of  Internet, as well as more traditional fields like the entertainment  industry and graphic design. Computer artists type jobs are expected to  grow at the overall job rate of around eight percent between now and  2016. The average salary nationally for computer artists is just under  $50,000.</p>

<p>Graphic Designers have many different <a href="http://www.youthedesigner.com/2008/04/21/10-great-places-to-find-graphic-design-jobs/" target="_blank">job opportunities</a> in this career field.  Whether through print, video, or internet, there are a multitude of choices in any visual media.  As you embark on your education or your career, carefully assess your strengths and preferences against these many career options so you can make the best decision for your graphic design career.</p>
<p>Anyone who is interested in having a career in graphic design will need to have a bachelor&#8217;s degree. This is required for everything from entry level jobs on up. The other requirement is creativity and a good imagination. It is also important for graphic artists to have a good mastery of the tools of their trade which include computer techniques, drawing skills and <a href="http://desktoppub.about.com/od/software/f/graphicdesignsw.htm" target="_blank">software programs</a>. Of course, computers are the most important tool because they are used for generating and animating images as well as for creating multimedia presentations. In order to master the computer programs that are used for these things, you will have to do a lot of studying. You will also need to keep up-to-date with all of the changes that are constantly taking place in regards to this technology.<span id="more-556"></span></p>
<p>Graphic designers will be able to work in several different types of businesses because graphics and multimedia presentations are increasingly important to the worldwide marketplace. You will find this in everything from social media networks to the various platforms that are being used for mobile devices.</p>
<p>At the heart of every <a href="http://advertising.about.com/od/advertisingprojects/Advertising_Materials.htm" target="_blank">advertising agency&#8217;s products</a> there is graphic design. For this reason, advertising agencies are the one business wherein most graphics professionals work. While there are occasions when a graphic artist will come up with an ad&#8217;s design, most of the time they are responsible for the animation, color, shading, sound and other effects that go into making the advertisement stand out in the crowd. After all, there are a lot of things that an account manager might want for their ad campaign, including a storyboard presentation of the ad for conceptualization purposes.</p>
<p>Another area of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphic_design" target="_blank">graphic design</a> is web development and design. In this medium it is extremely important to understand how to use computer software for multimedia purposes because websites are at the heart of virtually every business, from small retailers to major corporations.  Many of these websites rely on elaborate video presentations, illustrations and well-lit photographs.</p>
<p>There are also graphic designers who work with computer programmers and multimedia professionals to create and animate video games. Games require character movement, shading and simulated lighting to be present in every scene, all of which designers handle.</p>
<ul style="display:none">

</ul>
<p>While there are a lot of businesses that will employ you as a graphic designer, you can also do what <a href="http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos090.htm" target="_blank">25% of those who are working</a> as graphic artists today do: work for yourself. Whenever you are self-employed you may find yourself working for architectural firms, attorneys who need graphic presentations, fashion designers, publishing houses, real estate firms and sign companies.</p>
<p>These are just some of the many businesses that hire graphic designers today.  Typically a designer will choose to specialize in one of these business sectors and continually develop his or her skills as technology changes in that field.</p>
