Which design element is a visual image that is based on reality but is distorted by the artist?
This is not a graphic element, rather an art movement referred to as Abstraction. It is also the process of distorting, by the artist, the appearance of an actual person, place or thing. Abstract art always has its basis in the real world.
What is the difference between CAM computer aided manufacture and CAD computer aided design?
CAM is almost effortless. CAD you need to be around all the time.
CAD makes the designs of the objects such as the length, height, shape e.t.c. Also the output is mainly a file describing how some thing is to be made. This may be a picture or set of instructions.CAM then, with the help of instructions from CAD, makes the object i.e the finished object with the colour , size, feature etc.
Bleed means the item runs up to the edge of the page. It's called "bleed" because, on the press sheet, the item actually runs past the edge of the page and you trim off what you don't need.
What are the panel sizes for a brochure 8.5 x 14.75?
It depends on how you're going to fold it... WikiAnswers won't let you post graphics, so I'll describe what we're working with. A brochure this wide will fold into four panels. Draw a rectangle, divide it into four smaller rectangles one beside the other, and number the smaller "panel" rectangles 1 through 4. We'll say we're looking at the inside of the brochure. In picas (six to the inch, 12 points to the pica), because it's easier that way; set your rulers to Picas when you set this up... Double gatefold: 1 = 22p 2 = 22p3 3 = 22p3 4 = 22p 1 folds over 2, 4 folds over 3 then 2 and 3 fold together. Rollfold or fanfold: 1 = 22p6 2 = 22p6 3 = 22p 4 = 21p6 Rollfold: 4 folds over 3, 3 folds over 2, 1 folds over 4. Fanfold: 3 and 4 fold over 1 and 2, 4 folds over 3, 1 folds over 4. You make the inner panels smaller than the outer ones so the brochure folds flat. Now! If you REALLY want this to look professional, also pay attention to your margins. If you've got 1p6 margin around the borders of the brochure, the space between each panel is 3p--which, when you split it in half, gives you 1p6 on each side of the fold. If you put 1p6 between the panels, it just looks bad.

The main contractor takes responsibility for both design and construction and will use either in-house designers or employ consultants to carry out the design. Most of the construction work will be carried out by specialist or sub-contractors.The main contractor takes responsibility for both design and construction and will use either in-house designers or employ consultants to carry out the design.

The design will be developed by the contractor and the works will e completed, usually for a fixed price.
Tendering is more expensive so it carries more risk for the contractor than the traditional approach. This is because the contractor has to develop an outline design and a detailed price.
Tender lists will probably be shorter than for traditional contracts. The Design-Build approach gives the client a single point of contact.
However, the client commits to the cost of construction, as well as the cost of design, much earlier than with the traditional approach. Whilst risk is shifted to the contractor, it is important that design liability insurance is maintained to cover that risk.However, the client commits to the cost of construction, as well as the cost of design, much earlier than with the traditional approach.

Which city would be best for you to work as a graphic designer?
In a midsize town that's underserved by graphic designers. Most people think of one of three places--New York, LA and MAYBE Chicago. Stay out of all three. They're fine locations if you buy graphics, but if you create them...hoo boy. There are eleven million people in the city of New York and one million of them are doing freelance graphics out of their apartments. If you were to go to...oh, say Watertown, NY, and put out your shingle you could do pretty well. Now understand: the smaller the community is, the more things you need to do to be successful in this business. If you live in Seattle, you can get by with just knowing how to work in Adobe Creative Suite. Seattle's got plenty of copywriters, photographers, hair stylists, makeup artists, photo stylists and so on. If you live in a smaller community you're going to have to take on many of those responsibilities yourself, and you need a reliable car because many of your jobs will be in other towns. You'll also need to consider the KINDS of clients you'll be taking on. I know a man who designs in Goldsboro, NC. Two of the biggest jobs he runs every year are flyers for Christmas gift packs for a pickle company, and a rack card for a meat market. There is no "best."
Pentagram has a main office in New York. Duffy & Partners are headquartered in Minneapolis. MK12 is in Kansas City. Just look for your favorite firms and find their headquarters. You'll find great work happening even in the most rural areas of America.
Graphic designers-or graphic artists-plan, analyze, and create visual solutions to communications problems. They decide the most effective way of getting a message across in print, electronic, and film media using a variety of methods such as color, type, illustration, photography, animation, and various print and layout techniques. Graphic designers develop the overall layout and production design of magazines, newspapers, journals, corporate reports, and other publications. They also produce promotional displays, packaging, and marketing brochures for products and services, design distinctive logos for products and businesses, and develop signs and signage systems-called environmental graphics-for business and government. An increasing number of graphic designers also are developing material for Internet Web pages, interactive media, and multimedia projects. Graphic designers also may produce the credits that appear before and after television programs and movies.
The first step in developing a new graphic design is to determine the needs of the client, the message the design should portray, and its appeal to customers or users. Graphic designers consider cognitive, cultural, physical, and social factors in planning and executing designs for the target audience. Designers gather relevant information by meeting with clients, creative or art directors, and by performing their own research. Identifying the needs of consumers is becoming increasingly important for graphic designers as the scope of their work continues to focus on creating corporate communication strategies in addition to technical design and layout work.
Graphic designers prepare sketches or layouts-by hand or with the aid of a computer-to illustrate the vision for the design. They select colors, sound, artwork, photography, animation, style of type, and other visual elements for the design. Designers also select the size and arrangement of the different elements on the page or screen. They also may create graphs and charts from data for use in publications, and often consult with copywriters on any text that may accompany the visual part of the design. Designers then present the completed design to their clients or art or creative director for approval. In printing and publishing firms, graphic designers also may assist the printers by selecting the type of paper and ink for the publication and reviewing the mock-up design for errors before final publication.
Graphic designers use a variety of graphics and layout computer software to assist in their designs. Designers creating Web pages or other interactive media designs also will use computer animation and programming packages. Computer software programs allow ease and flexibility in exploring a greater number of design alternatives, thus reducing design costs and cutting the time it takes to deliver a product to market.
Graphic designers sometimes supervise assistants who carry out their creations. Designers who run their own businesses also may devote a considerable amount of time to developing new business contacts, examining equipment and space needs, and performing administrative tasks, such as reviewing catalogs and ordering samples. The need for up-to-date computer and communications equipment is an ongoing consideration for graphic designers.

Can someone not fond of manual drawing pass classes required for digital graphic design?
Yes, when I started my drawing class, I didn't really like to draw by hand that much and on top of that, I spent my last two years of highschool in an architectural and engineering design course at a technical high school. My drawing professor had to beat all those perfectly straight lines out of me, but it was worth it and I passed. I started out with a self portrait that was horrible, but was able to finish the quarter being able to draw decent portraits.
