i am just curios,Wells u guys know..

Multimedia is a pretty wide area....in real work....it is very unlikely you will stick to just one software. You will most likely need to know graphic, Web,sound and video editing.,3D, and oso ART.So that means you will need to know a lot of software to make you mroe valuable..

Let share.Wat Row u are into and subject that u had taken..

for me:Diploma level(still working on it)
Row:Dunno Yet
Subject i take:Flash, Dreamweaver,Director, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier,In Design,Acrobat Professional..

and how abt u??

Multimedia Undergrad... belum graduate but work b4...

roll - print design, interface design, illustration
software - erm... photoshop, illustrator, flash, dreamweaver, director, painter & some others.

although im currently majoring in multimedia, but my strong skills are mostly prints & designs. i hate dealing with codes and scripts especially javascripts and flash advance scripts. always headache. well, if i cant work out as a multimedia designer, i can always switch sides becoming a graphic designer or an illustrator laugh.gif

IMO, it's not a will-they-hire-you-or-not question. If you have the confidence that you are able to handle the job, go ahead and apply, does no harm anyway wink.gif

well, depends if the company expects you to be a one leg kicking person. the bigger web players hire according to your skillsets and performance.

aiya, just coz graduated already doesn't make me a real senior. i've still got a lot to learn. smile.gif

I'm sorry but it's about the art, not so much about the software.

It's like, anyone can use Flash to build webs, but how many can really design a well-designed one? Animation wise, anyone can set keys using his/her 3D software, but how come some are award-winning quality animation and some are just a piece of crap? Do you think Disney would want a software guy or an animation guy if both are applying for the same animator job? Heck Pixar even employs traditional animator that has no 3D experience as a 3D character animator.

No offence but why do some commercial work, say a printed advertisement look like sh*t? Well, the work is still created using Photoshop or Illustrator or others right? Another thing is character design, some people's character designs just s*ck.

The market is now very short of real talents. Art schools these days are just producing graduates that know software but don't know art, and these schools also allow really bad student to graduate. This is bad, this is not contributing to the industry.

If you are going to get a job in the creative industry, concentrate on the art.

Students have to change their mindset! Yes, knowing many software does no harm, but knowing alot also means you do not know any software in detail. Of all the software you know, how many do you know them inside out? I am confident that your answer would be "none". Would you like to be a jack of all trades but a master of none? Well that depends on how you think.

Just my opinion.

Bachelor in Creative Multimedia - majoring in Digital Media

Role: Website Designer, Graphic Designer, Courseware - (Btw what do they call a person that just arrange and managing content in a courseware?isit content developer? i donno doh.gif ) Video Editor. Flash designer

Softwares : Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Maya, Axialis Icon Workshop, Swift 3D, Swish MAX, Adobe Audition, Soundforge, Sonar, Director, Namo web Editor, Scite.

i'm mainly use flash in everything. even for motion graphics i use falsh for it. some of graphic design i design in flash 1st, later i use photoshop to touch-ups, but now adobe merge with macromedia.. future still donno yet. so i guess im a jack of all trades and master in flash.

about creativity // art // [ In My Humble Opinion ]

well, in terms of drawing things. im really suck. even i use ruler to draw a line on a paper will not the same with the axis. sweat.gif since primary school i raelly bad at drawing. so i consider myself is bad at art/creativity. my ideas also are ordinary and logical. but from what i faced, not so many people good in art are good in doing the things right.

this is what i experienced last trimester

--
we are required to do assignments. and for that we need to be very creative in topic chosen, presentation, and the designs of the cd cover bla bla bla..
then, as usual, some of students really come with interesting topics, creative thinking all those stuff rather than student like me, i think just propose a ordinary topic. but then when it comes to producing those stuff, ( since the presentation is an interactive cd ) they failed to do like what they propose. and the reason they said they donno how to do this and that. so are they only know how to paint? and how to produce creative ideas ? - the solution for this answer - get other ppl to do their job.
--
another experience
--
i also sometimes receive a job request to do their assignments where i find those ppl are very creative to do like advertising in example. yet they dont know how to do but instead paying for other ppl to do
--

okay fine but who is the creative one? are the ppl who got ideas but donno how to do ( yet they paid someone to do their job and get the pujian from it ) or those ppl who are not so good in art/creative ideas but can produce those what they want? ( including those artistic thinkers )

in addition i know ppl on the world are needed each other. i mean manager need worker to do their job and worker need the manager to pay for them. but then based on my experience and my opinions

-- The market is now very short of real talents. Art schools these days are just producing graduates that know art but don't know softwares, and these schools also allow really bad student to graduate. This is bad, this is not contributing to the industry. -- ( change the quote from zhenyang )

i know there are ppl who good in art are also good in software heck even those old painters like michaelangelo is an inventor ( if im not mistaken sweat.gif )i sometimes staring at those creative advertisement i know how to do but i dint think i can think the way they think.

so the question.. who are the creative one?
second question ( quote from wikipedia = Creativity is a human mental phenomenon based around the deployment of mental skills and/or conceptual tools, which, in turn, originate and develop innovation, inspiration, or insight.) - is an ability to manipulate the tool of trades can consider a creativity?

erm well.. this is the my longest entry to lowyat. tongue.gif btw it depends on how you think.. this is merely just my Humble Opinion.
