Q. I suck at drawing, painting, sculpture, print-making, sketching or anything to do with art. But I'm very interested in interior designing. I like to makeover rooms in my head and think about what an ideal house would look like. Will my handicap in art keep me from being successful in the interior designing field?
And also, what all qualifications do you need to get into interior designing? Can you recommend some college and high school courses I can take?
I've just finished my sophomore year in high school, and I've started thinking about my future. I'm a straight-A student, but I'm not really interested in medicine, engineering, IT or other "scholarly" stuff like that. My talent in the art room is limited, but I'm very creative. (I'm also good at creative writing such as short stories and poems etc.) So, yeah, I'm creative; I can think out of the box. And I'm very interested in interior designing.
Well, those are the facts. I would love some good advice on this subject.

A. Hi, I think as long as you have an eye, thats what matters. I never went to school for design, but I had great training under a designer. I can't sketch or do CAD, but I can do a room on graph paper. You will need to be decent at math and be able to measure properly. You will need to understand fabrics and other materials and their uses and drawbacks. Passion and talent in design is more important than being a typical artist. Your rooms are your art, and as long as you can pull them together to make you and the client happy, that's all that matters. .
p.s. most designers I've met are crazy (I am the exception) and very difficult to work for. If you can learn from someone with great talent, hang in there as long as you can and soak up all of their knowledge. I would start looking at local designers whose work you admire and start talking to them now. When you are ready they might be happy to mentor you. Good Luck

What does it take to become a videogame designer?
Q. I'm doing a research paper for school and i would like to know what it takes to become a videogame designer and how you make the games.
A. Most of what i know is about the actual charactor and setting design.My brouther and a friend of mine are both going to school for graphic design My brouther is doing his classes on line and has already sold items he's made to Everquest. My freind is going to a regular Colledge.EA sports is footing part of the bill. My brouther uses atleast 2 programs that i know of one called Poser and the other Ryno. also i suggest checking out the "making of" of some of the CG cartoons(if you don't have a dvd player some time you can find clips on the internet)...the prosess is simular. computer graphics is anouther great class. some times CAD(Compuer Aided Design) helps as well
most of the skills you need are Computers,math, art and some science (the "making of's" on the movies would explain why science)having the artistic talent i would say is the most important.
they plot out the game, where things go (kind of like a map)if its designed around a movie they get picure and voice recordings of the actors. they make scetches of the charactors and backgrounds. use clay models and scan them. the animators design everything and put it together. and then they do test runs of the games and .fix any bugs they find. and Yes they have people whos jobs are to sit around playing video games ,but they're trained to spot the bugs and ways to fix them..mean while theres people working on advertizing the games and perfecting sound effects...
If you go to some game compny sites like EA or Atari(playstaion,nintendo,etc.) they usually have a contact us link you could probably ask them and get more details just say:hello my name is... im doing a report on.... and i was wondering if you could answer a few questions then ask away some willl answer some won't so if you decide to do it write to a bunch( who knows you could make a connection for a scolarship)
emails from an actuall game companys would be a great addition for a report (teachers love extra stuff like that)if you have to do a presentation any pictures you'd be able to find on their site or that they could send you would be a boost to expesoly if they'll send you step by step pics of the prosess.I'll try to get my brother to come on here and fill you in a little as well....
I hope i have helped
