If you dream of working in the marketing or entertainment industries, LMC is a great place to start. Our Graphic Communications degree and certificate programs will introduce you to the processes and tools used in the industry to create visual communication for professional work. Take foundation classes in painting, drawing, graphic design, motion graphics, and animation to develop visual problem-solving that apply across multiple disciplines. A wide range of classes allows students to work and discover a career that fits within their interests. The curriculum builds upon traditional studio skills developed in foundational drawing, painting, and design courses, and branches into digital-based production, such as 3D modeling, 2D and 3D special effects, 2D and 3D animation, digital video, and interactive media. This coursework prepares students for transfer into baccalaureate digital art degree programs and for entry-level digital art positions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Learn more: www.losmedanos.edu\/art\/artgrcom.aspx\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\">Learn more: www.losmedanos.edu\/art\/artgrcom.aspx<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\">According to O*NET Online, a resource sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, the median hourly<br \/>\nwage for a multimedia artist\/animator is $45.00 per hour.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans Bold';\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-74\" src=\"http:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-1-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos-226x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"131\" height=\"174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-13-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-13-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos-771x1024.jpg 771w, https:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-13-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-13-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/losmedanos.mycareerfocus.org\/spring-2021-volume-13-issue-1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2021\/04\/GabriellaSantos.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 131px) 100vw, 131px\" \/>If it wasn\u2019t for LMC,<\/span> I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today.
