Watch any television show and you will be amazed how much computer graphics are used.
Somebody has to know how to do that.
Many broadcast students at WIU like to add to their expertise their ability to compose computer-generated graphics and animation for television. The Department of Communication - Broadcasting currently supplies one course, Television Graphics to help you learn the concepts and applications of computer graphics and animation for television. Anchor boxes are graphic representations of news stories and are an integral part of any newscast. The box is normally keyed in over the news anchor's shoulder while reading a news story. Students learn to use Adobe photocopy to design multi-layered stills and then import them into PowerPoint as a means to display them during the newscast.
