Introduction
Programs in desktop publishing and digital imaging prepare people to combine images and words into print and computer displays. Students learn how to use desktop publishing software to arrange text and graphics. They study web page design and various ways to use and process images.

Overview
In 1985, a businessman coined the term "desktop publishing." So began an era of publishing from almost any computer workstation. Rapid improvements in software opened publishing and printing to many more people. At first, desktop publishers could blend text with clip art to produce newsletters and brochures. Now, they can develop web pages adding digital photos and animation. (The businessman mentioned above was Paul Brainerd, whose company invented PageMaker.)

This program is about learning to use sophisticated software programs to produce digital graphics for clients. You can enroll in a computer training school, an art school, or a college or university to learn desktop publishing. Some universities offer desktop publishing as continuing education. They may offer digital imaging courses in departments of art or computer science. Not surprisingly, you can find many distance learning programs offered on the Internet. They depend on your having the right software to complete the lessons.

Programs in colleges and universities lead to bachelor's and master's degrees in fine arts, computer science, or printing and publishing. Community colleges and independent schools often provide one-year certificate and two-year degree programs.

Independent art and design schools focus more intensively on project work and career preparation. Colleges and universities typically require certain general courses in addition to studio art requirements. Most art programs now teach computer techniques in the visual arts.

An associate degree typically takes two years of full-time study after high school. For a bachelor's degree, you need two more years. Master's degree programs take another year or two after the bachelor's degree. If you want to teach college, you must have a doctoral degree, which can take another three to five years after the master's degree.
