Part B- Two Preferred roles:

After much deliberation, my two preferred roles in the new media industry are Graphic Designer and Photojournalist.


What is a Graphic Designer?



A graphic designer is a professional within the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography or motion graphics to create a piece of design.



A graphic designer creates the graphics primarily for published, printed or electronic media, such as brochures and advertising.


They also may be responsible for typesetting, illustration and web design

4.Have interviews with businesses interested in hiring me

What is a Photojournalist?



A photojournalist takes photographs and edits them for publication.







Photojournalists are well versed in photography, image editing software, film, lenses, flashers, scanners, cameras and other accessories to produce high quality pictures.




In addition, the photojournalist has to be able to convey a story with the images to make them newsworthy as a companion to a written piece.

employment or getting noticed by a business,


newspaper or a website.





3. Be bold and creative in pursuing a job.

to their use of photos and get my photography work


out in the global viewing market such as the internet via


blogs, Facebook, Google images or a personal website.





4. Approach job interviews with all degrees,


portfolio's and credits achieved in school to


impress clients




5. Finally... some luck.
