Deciding my Major

What I want to do is something with graphic design or advertising. I am also into psychology. I think that I want to do a mix of both psychology and advertising, I think it is called business psychology. If you don't know what business psychology is, then I will tell you. Business psychology is basically product placement in a store. A business psychologist will go into a company or store and tell the company where to place products to get the best benefit from them. For example, in a grocery store the products that are placed at eye level are researched to be the most purchased because consumers do not look high and low, so stores know this and they put the most expensive products on the eye level shelfs. This seems very interesting to me because of the mixture of psychology and design. If not that then I may want to do product design because I want to learn what attracts consumers to buy products, especially consumers of all ages. For example, babies or toddlers like to see bright colors, so designers of products will make there toy as bright as possible to attract the children. I am really interested in why consumers buy things, if its product placement, or product design. I am taking a design class right now and I am learning how colors effects a persons emotions and also how lines can produce emotions as well.

Undecided Student

I am studying at RACC right now, but I am undecided. I have not decided a major because I have taken so many wonderful classes, I cannot decide. The classes I have taken are Cultural Anthropology, Mass Media, Biology, 2D Design, Drawing 1 and now 2, Sociology, Psychology, and Math. I have always enjoyed creating art and I like the idea of becoming a graphic designer. After taking Cultural Anthropology, it has opened my eyes to peoples ways of life. In Biology I have learned about living organisms. I have always been the type of person that likes a pair of pants one day and buy them, and then they will hang in my closet and then wonder why I ever bought them in the first place. Choosing my major is the same thing, I change my mind on things and I believe that I will get educated in a specific thing and then later down the road of life I will change my mind. That is why I have not decided a major at this time. I believe that soon I will decide what I want to do for the rest of my life, but I do think about it and that if I don't like it then I can always change it, so no problem.
