I recently received this form a InDesign Basics student (sorry this is so long!):Question regarding student design rates. A friend who saw my Sessions design portfolio asked if I'd help her company out with a few design assignments (flyer, stationery etc). and inquired about my "rate". I am only about 35% complete with my graphic design certificate, so I'm not sure how to come up with a fair rate. Google searches turn up anywhere from $15 - $30/hour or a minimum of $200 for a logo (couldn't find any flat pricing benchmarks for other design pieces). Would this be reasonable? Or is it unethical to charge at this point since I'm really at an "intern's" level of design experience, if even that. Perhaps I take on the work for
My interest in the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering has a lot of tie-ins to my interest in digital games, especially in terms of the study of game design. Games in different media can have a great deal in common. One thing I find particularly interesting about MTG is that the game has a long history of serious balance issues.

This has become "Countries Around the World Attack Games" month!
My last 2 journal posts concerned Switzerland and Venezuela banning violent games. Now in Germany 16 interior ministers are calling for a ban on violent games.
Germany had school shootings in March that have been linked to violent video games.
Such a ban would be a disaster of course for German game developers, and ut b dent in European game profits. It could also lead to a call for a ban on violent games in the entire EU.

Here are nine things you should make sure you do to make sure that you and your camera are ready for most any shooting situation: (1) Make sure your memory cards have been downloaded and formatted. Do this at the end of every shooting day. If you’re away from home base, be sure to take along either a laptop or a portable hard-drive with a built-in card reader. The latter will easily fit a camera bag or camera vest.(2) Make sure your lens and viewfinder are clean. Brush off the dust.
