Make Art; Land Your Dream Job

Video game design offers new career choices in animation and computer art, and of course if you’re a gamer yourself, this is a dream job. There are more openings than ever in this lucrative and satisfying business, what with different gaming platforms competing to provide the best experience and the coolest games. Computer animation is an essential component of a successful game. Lifelike characters give the players a stronger sense of engagement, and a really cool look can make an animated character into a pixelated celebrity.

The computer and video game industry has come a long way since Pong and PacMan, earning an estimated 9.5 billion U.S. dollars last year. Computer game technology has also driven the computer industry to new heights of innovation. Some computer features we take for granted, like sound and graphics cards and CD ROM drives, wouldn’t exist if they hadn’t been developed for video games.

Games designed for the most successful gaming platforms—including the Sony Playstation series, Nintendo N64 and WII, Xbox and Sega Mega drive--feature fully realized 3-D visual experiences created by teams of specialists in game mechanics, visual arts, programming, audio and video production, and narrative plotting.

As the industry grows, it becomes more vertically integrated. Big companies are getting bigger, and consolidating into mega-corporations, which can be bad news for independent designers and artists looking for more creative control. But there’s good news: as the big companies become more monolithic, more and more indie game developers are finding ways to get their product out over the internet, which means there’s a new market for independent, creative, and courageous gamers and game artists. You can have the career of your dreams, doing what you love to do in the first place. Your path to success is waiting for you. So gamers, be on the lookout!
