Robert asked:

I will be a junior at a university this upcoming fall semester majoring in Digital Technology & Culture. I think my main area of interests has to be between Web Designing and Graphic Arts, but I’m more focus onto Web Designing a bit more. I have a few concerns, and heads up before I graduate with a Bachelor:

1) In the next few years, I will be graduating with a Bachelor in Fine Arts, how will I be able to get a job? I am planning on doing some interning, but should I also keep some sort of a portfolio with my works for future sake? And what are designing firms looking these days? Employers with great, fresh ideas? Someone who is fluent in the language of “Web Designing”? Or how about someone who already has clients? Remember, I will be graduating with a degree with no job experience in designing what so ever.

2) How should I go and make my portfolio? Should I print it, or make an actual website with stuff that I created?

3) It is best to be fluent in Web Designing and Graphic Arts?
