i'll look up some places, theres a good school in illinois and there is one or two in nashville that do internet, i got a friend that told me here in clarksville had a good art department, gonna look at it in the spring and see if i can get my masters in commercial, might be able to also get mine in photoshop and some other computer art, i want to do my cores at home over the net, but want to do in class artwork, i think you'd get more experience out of it.........i know i've done thousands of pieces over the last 30 years...........work in almost all mediams except oils and they were just to high to fool with, my dad kept me out of his oils..........still have my first airbrush from when i was 14......i pinstriped all our rides in high school, i really miss it alot...........iad in nashville is one of the art schools........i believe the way donnie talked and he got his degree at MTSU, that most all do the internet anymore, they'll split it up anyway u can do it, and u can get voc rehab to pay for it, all of it, but i do believe u have to be a fulltime student........

airart1,

Do you do any book cover design work? I'm working on a novel manuscript and hope to epublish it on Barnes and Noble and Amazon for their electronic book readers when I'm finished. Part of the process is furnishing artwork along with the manuscript to be part of the online package. I'm not sure of the dimension requirements/limitations. I'm not well-heeled by any means, but I wouldn't expect you to do a freebie either. I can supply particulars on my needs and ideas when I get nearer to completion and submission, if you'd be interested. I'd also be willing to provide a credit for any work with my submission.

We can swap personal messages if you're interested.

send me some idea of actually what you would need as far as what media it would need to be in, each takes different times to create, subject matter, etc.........just email me or whichever you'd like, i would consider it......if the time is allowed, i wont work under any ridiculous deadline...........

Hi, I'm a graphic designer and what I do is buy learning CD's DVD's, photoshop, illustrator, quark. I keep my eye-out for VTC learning CD's on ebay or amazon. I've tried other learning CD's but VTC is the best. When your done you can sell them. I go to you tube also to pick-up tips and tricks.
Buy books on design. You can get them cheap and if you dont like the book sell it and get another you like better. Good luck.
