Graphic Media Design Suppose you want to announce or sell something, amuse or persuade someone, explain a complicated system or demonstrate a process. In other words, you have a message you want to communicate.

Graphic designers work with drawn, painted, photographed, or computer-generated images (pictures), but they also design the letterforms that make up various typefaces found in movie credits and TV ads; in books, magazines, and menus; and even on computer screens. From humble things like gum wrappers to huge things like billboards to the T-shirt you’re wearing, graphic design informs, persuades, organizes, stimulates, locates, identifies, attracts attention and provides pleasure. The designer works with a variety of communication tools in order to convey a message from a client to a particular audience.  Do you like working with computers?  Are you a visual person?  Do you appreciate something laid out well?  Do you like to communicate with others?  Are you creative or artistic?

Loan Signing Specialist Notary’s who make the most money are also Certified Loan Signers. Loan signers in California charge on average between $74 and $200 per loan and the best loan signers are charging an average of $150 per loan. Many loan signers work full-time (3 to 4 loans per day and more) but just as many work part-time in the evening or weekends just to make some extra cash. Even making an average of $100 per loan signing at 1 loan per night and a couple on the weekend adds up to an excellent added income. This 8 hour course will teach you to become a Certified Loan Signer. Cost: $75 Reg (plus $30 test and certificate fee paid to the instructor on the first night of the class.)
