Unfortunately i'm not doing so well in History. I've been trying to drop it for a few months now but have been encouraged to push on by my tutor and subject teacher. I've done so but just received my January exam result and failed. I knew it would happen, i'm just not cut out for it. I don't want a career in history, im predicted an As/Bs for the other subjects and i'm going to drop history at A2. However my subject teacher is asking me to retake. I don't know if their is any point or if it will look bad in regards to going to university. Advice needed really. Thanks : )I need some advice on an AS exam retake. I've taken history, media, eng lang/lit and graphic design.?
If you drop it, you will have one less grade to put on your uni application. If you keep going, you might get a good grade. However, if you keep going and do badly, just don't include the grade on your uni application.
Universities only know the grades that you tell them, so you might as well have a go anyway just in case you get a grade that's worth mentioning!

My major is graphic design, but I dont know what to do with it. can any one give some advice?
I Live in palmsprings, California and I'm about to transfer from a community college to the local University to get my BA in graphic design.
I use graphic design for my own personal enjoyment, but I don't really know what it's like in ';the real world'; Is it hard to get a job? What kind of jobs are out there? What are the pro's and con's of graphic design.
Thanks so much for your advice I'm scared that I get this degree and I won't be able to go anywhere with it =[My major is graphic design, but I dont know what to do with it. can any one give some advice?

As the first answerer had said, you can go to Adobe and such. Also, you can make logos for companies and the advertisements you see on TV...
Also, you could refer to this....Just for fun I guess or I don't know...

Theres a great scope in Gaming Industry , you can try any gaming company. n also theres a post which i found , u will also enjoy it
go to places where they need people like you. Like go to Adobe, help them make photoshop better, or at Sony Computer Entertainment, even other game developers. You could also think about helping out engineering companies.skin

I'd love to design and build my own RC airplane (maybe 2 meter long)... Can anyone experienced give advice?
Hi
I'll start off by telling your that I am a first year Aerospace Engineering student. I've took a year off now, and would like to try making my own remote control plane purely for leisure.
I want it to have an onboard 180deg camera (I think you'll understand what I mean by this) which would stream live video to the remote which I'd use to control it.
I want it to look like a typical aircraft (wings, propellors etc... maybe like a particular vintage aircraft, but I've not looked into this yet)
I'd also be interested in talking to people who are also serious about wanting to design and build a plane but are still in the very early stages like myself.
Thanks ppl xI'd love to design and build my own RC airplane (maybe 2 meter long)... Can anyone experienced give advice?
http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/index.php
This forum has pretty much everything you could want about RC models.
Although I remember reading somewhere that flying your rc aircraft outside your line of sight is frowned upon and if you're flying it using your camera it is classed as an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
I'm not exactly sure about this but I would check up on the laws on that sort of thing before progressing with your plans.
Good luck though.I'd love to design and build my own RC airplane (maybe 2 meter long)... Can anyone experienced give advice?
watch alot of ';you tube'; they have all the new stuff different sizes bugets etc, and commerical links for the products

My sister and I plan to design and construct a quilt but I've never done this before... any advice?
My Grandma's 75th birthday is In March and my sister came up with the idea of making a quilt with pictures for her birthday. I agreed to work with her on it, but I've never done anything like this before. As for my sister, I think she might have helped construct a quilt once, but I'm not sure and I know she's never designed a quilt before. We both agreed that when we see each other on Christmas, we would present our design ideas to each other, decide on one and split up the work.
Any advise?????My sister and I plan to design and construct a quilt but I've never done this before... any advice?
You could actually do any quilt block that had a larger center square and put the photo there, but if you've never made a quilt before, you'll want to stick with a fairly simple pattern.
There are three basic issues you need to be prepared for:
1. How to get the photos onto fabric.
2. How to sew the quilt top.
3. How to fasten the layers (top, batting, backing) together.
The first is easy. You can purchase fabric sheets that are treated to go right through an inkjet printer. Read the packaging to be sure that it's washable. There are several different brands and they should be available at most fabric and craft stores. This is not the same as transfer paper, where you print the photos onto paper and then iron it onto the fabric. That doesn't last as long or look as nice. Keep in mind that the stuff isn't cheap - plan carefully when you print the photos on it and then cut them apart, leaving 1/4'; extra all the way around the photos for your seam allowance.
The next part, sewing the top, is where all of the fun and most of the challenge lies. I'd advise picking up a basic beginner quilting book, like ';Start Quilting with Alex Anderson'; or ';Quilter's Complete Guide'; by Fons %26amp; Porter. This will help with info about rotary cutting, seam allowances, putting blocks together, etc. The simplest pattern would be just photos alternating with plain squares of fabric, like a checkerboard. You could also sew a strip of fabric on all four sides of the photo, like a frame, then sew the framed photos together. If you wanted to get a little more complicated, you could make simple four patch or nine patch blocks for the alternating squares. This would give you a diagonal chain effect. Get some graph paper and try drawing out your designs - it helps to put it on paper.
Finally, you need a way to fasten the layers together. If it's a relatively small quilt, you can just sew straight lines through the layers using a regular sewing machine. You'll need to learn about basting the layers together first. You also need to check the batting you choose so you know how far apart it can be quilted. Some batting has to be quilted as close as 3'; while other batting can be as far as 10'; apart. Instead of quilting, you might want to consider tying the quilt. This involves using embroidery floss, pearl cotton or yarn to thread through all three layers and back, then tying a secure knot to hold everything in place. You can tie the knots on the front of the quilt or on the back, depending on if you want the loose ends to be visible.

1. Don't worry too much about it being perfect. One of the biggest parts of this gift that she will love is that you two made it together, just for her.
2. Think about and/or investigate things she likes. What's her favorite flower? Her favorite color? What kind of things do you remember about your childhood with her? Does she have any hobbies?
3. Consider a simple design - make a number of squares that have the pictures on them, then put them together with panels of other fabric in between.
4. Try and see if you can get some friends together for the last 'quilting' step - once the entire quilt is put together, you have to sew through all layers with thread to make it puffy here and there.
Read up on the links provided by the other answers, and have fun making this. Also, I can tell you from experience - once you have your plan, start working sooner rather than later. You'll be glad.

I intended to design and build my small 2-3 seat experimental jet aircraft, need some advice?
22yrs old, interested in aircrafts and flying since years ,i am not an aircraft engineer,i am studying about aerodynamics and designs since long time , i want to design my own aircraft ,build it and fly it under experimental aviation rules.
my design:
lenght: 4 - 4,5 metre
height: 1,50 -1,80 metre
single jet engine powered,
empty weight=400kg-max 600kg
seat=2-3
all aleminum alloy or composite material construction.
will have a long wingspan for nice and safe flying.
will design low drag aerodynamic fuselage shape,
and i will use Nasa's airfoils or common used airfoil types.
Semi-monocoque fuselage construction as modern aircraft.
i will calculate design's every step with math and computer test. i am able to do g-force testing on wings, able to set Cg of aircraft.
anyway after design the project,i will send it to FAA with the name of aircraft engineer friend. when they approve design.i can begin building.
what you think about my project and what you will advice?
thanksI intended to design and build my small 2-3 seat experimental jet aircraft, need some advice?
Sounds good but if you expect to make a small fortune you'll need a large fortune to start with because your about to throw away alot of money.I intended to design and build my small 2-3 seat experimental jet aircraft, need some advice?
eaa.com great website. Its people who make Airplanes Expirimetal ones. Its awsome, they can help out in anything that you mays struggle with.
you should be ok, just don't take any advice from that cuote guy from Bugs Bunny
hate to answer a questions with another one but,
Are you building a single plane for personal use or something for commercial sale?
NOT BAD
dont forget the afterburners

Advice on my intended majors and minor for a career in video game design?
I've poked around a little bit about video game design, and from what I've gathered, it's primarily about math and writing, with a background in Computer Science and the Arts to help communicate your ideas.
I'm a student at UCSD, and I intend to double major in Communication and Psychology, but I'm unsure of whether to minor in ICAM (Interdisciplinary Computing in the Arts) or Computer Science. Which would help me more to get into this field? Any advice on this from someone in the gaming industry would be greatly appreciated. If my majors are flat out off as well, please let me know.
Thanks for your time!Advice on my intended majors and minor for a career in video game design?
im not sure where you got your information but its horrible general. for programmers and designers it needs more math and computer science stuff, not so much for designers though. im from the art institute of california los angeles(last two quarters) i've heard enough from industry professionals to know that its different for each career in video games. if your a programmer, go for the math and computer sciences. if your a designer, computer sciences and art, especially 3d art. for artist and animators, you will need quick knowledge of traditional art, but then into 3d art. if your going to a university for art or animation, get out. there is no future in a place that generalizes in a career that needs specialists.
as for the programming/engineering or designers i guess that is fine, but that type of knowledge will only get you so farAdvice on my intended majors and minor for a career in video game design?
There are 3 ways you can work with games: programming, design, and business. You'll need excellent math skills for all 3 of those areas, as well as plenty of Computer Science knowledge.
If you're very artistic, you can combine visual arts and computer science and learn 3D design. If you're very mathematical and very logical, you can learn how to program.
If you think you have good people skills, you can try to business-side of gaming, where you would work on marketing campaigns, manage offices, develop business strategies, or work on accounting/financing for game companies.
Communication and Psychology are both useful if you want to go into marketing. They won't help you develop games at all. It's an unbelievably, intensely mathematical/specialized set of skills that you need to develop to do it professionally.
If you're right-brained, major and minor in arts subjects. If you're left-brained, major in programming subjects. People with short legs shouldn't run races and people shouldn't pursue careers in the direction opposite that in which their brains work. (The last good analytical artist was Leonardo da Vinci, and we probably have a few hundred years more until another one comes along.)

Zencart is a good product to look into.
To test it locally a good operating system is Fedora - if you install that then its fairly simple to install the applications that Zencart needs - Apache, SQL, MyPHP etc.
There are plenty of people who have good advice on this on the internet so if you look up for example ';fedora apache'; you find some excellent guides.
Getting these working in windows is sometimes a bit hit and miss but using Fedora works great - you can then test Zencart locally without needing to upload everything to a web site. We found when trying to do this with Windows that Apache or PHP would often stop working or the file permissions would be a pain to get right, something that's very easy to do in Linux i.e Fedora.
Once your happy with it you can then get it installed on your web site and upload your unique pages so the site is customized - with Zencart you create a copy of the master file and it knows to use that file rather than the original so changing it is quite straight forward.
I helped a friend do this and it works great doing it this way, otherwise you are constantly uploading and downloading files from your web site due to slight amendments.
I had Fedora installed on a PC, installed the extra programs such as Apache etc and Zencart and then had a basic shop running in under two hours.
You could use Ubuntu server and install whats called a Lamp server, this includes Apache, MyPHP etc but I'e not done it with ubuntu so can't comment on any issues you might have.
For that reason at the moment my choice would be the two items I have actually had success on, Fedora and Zencart.
