During the beginnings of the 20th-Century, traditional arts reigned supreme. Graphic Design was created with printmaking, figure painters created most portraits, and we were beginning to understand photography. These practices continued for several decades until we entered modern and postmodernism. Computers had begun to be used as a new artistic medium in commercial art no less. From there, Commercial Art grew exponentially with computer software growing and expanding with it. At present, we have software for nearly every genre of art, such as Illustration, Photography, Typography, Design, Architecture, and more.
The fusion of art and technology has created many new career opportunities for artists and designers alike. Some of the most current in-demand positions include UX and U.I. Design, Instructional Design, and Multimedia Artists.
