I'm not real fond of this question, so let's rephrase it into a similar one that's better: How has the availability of affordable, high-quality digitized imagery impacted digital graphic design? Executive summary: Affordable digitized photos have made it possible for more publishers to use more photos and more color than ever before, which enables them to attract more readers. First, let me tell you about the really old days--back in the 1960s. If you wanted to print a photo in your magazine (forget "newsletters"--those never had any pictures) and you just wanted black & white, you took a picture of it through a "halftone screen" onto Photo Mechanical Transfer paper. The screen broke the photo into dots of various sizes, which made it printable on press. You pasted the PMT onto an artboard and shot the board on the same camera. Then you stripped the negative into a flat and made a plate from it. If you wanted color photos, you shot the photo four times with different screens and different filters in front of the lens, then stripped those negatives into your layout flats. Color was something you only did every once in a while--the cover and maybe two or three pictures inside. And newspapers NEVER ran color photos, except in the special "Rotogravure section" on Sunday. (Ask me later what rotogravure was.) Forward to the late 1970s. There were two ways to do a color photo. The first was to use a drum scanner--a very large machine--to create the separations. The other was to use an image editing workstation like a Scitex or a Hell. Either way you're looking at somewhere between half a million and a million and a half to buy the equipment, and you need a lot of training to use it. It was far easier to make separations, and the seps were better, but it still cost too much to throw a ton of color photos on a page. Now? It's so simple to put tons of photos on a page, everyone does it. The pages look a lot better than they did in the old times. They're prettier. Now here's the flipside: very few people, outside New York and Los Angeles, actually care about what they're putting out, as far as quality goes. Everyone thinks you can fix anything in Photoshop, so you get pictures that are blatantly awful. Now, we get pictures of the company's CEO in a wrinkled suit with a huge shiny spot on his forehead. Thirty years ago, he wore a freshly-pressed suit to the photo shoot and his secretary put a little makeup on him before he went in front of the camera. The difference was night and day. Do I want to go back to the old days? In a way, yes. If I could get the nice professional-looking photos we used to see, but not have to strip flats together by hand, I'd be a happy camper.

Graphic art is a very broad term! Anything physical and flat is basically graphic art. This includes photography, painting, drawing, and silk screening. Many techniques are used in graphic art. It is one of the most popular forms of art.
Graphic Communication and Graphic Design are not the same major. Graphic design is a program in which you learn design on computers based off of principles of color, 2-D and 3-D design. Graphic communications, however is the study of print and digital media. In graphic communication, it is considered both an art and a science in which you study quality and potentials of printing and digital media.
"Graphic footage" refers to film (hence the term, "Footage") or digital videos showing people that are naked and touching each other.
A small, versatile digital camera is the best choice for a graphic design student. It is best to stick with well known brands, like a Kodak Easy Share. It works well with iPhoto, coupled with Photoshop a person can create original designs using their own photographs quite fast. Once you graduate you will most likely not need the camera much for graphic design work, unless you intend to specialize in Photography. There are numerous companies that sell stock photography, and the majority of Designers utilize these services. However, some large design firms do employ photographers for their own specific purposes.

The sRGB color mode is important in digital photography and graphic design because it is a standardized color space that ensures consistent and accurate color reproduction across different devices, such as monitors and printers. This helps maintain the integrity of the colors in images and designs, making them look the same no matter where they are viewed.
