Q. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I don't know a better place. What would that major be considered? I want to get into video game design, animation, and computer graphic design, but I'm not sure what the proper term for that is called. Can someone please help me out? Thanks!
A. Along with everyone else - it's random. Depending on where you go - it is different things.
For what you want look at colleges like Fullsail in Florida, some of the Art Institutes, and Art Center in California. Make sure they have 3D modeling and programming.
Be careful with programs that are just "digital design" and stuff like that. These programs can be so random in what they teach you that you won't learn enough to get into game design. (I know this from being at University of Cincinnati with Digital Design majors who have not gotten enough 3D modeling to do what they were told they would be able to.)
Start looking at portfolios of some game companies you like and see what they require for an entry level position. Usually they are crazy high - but you may be able to find out what you need and choose a program from there.
Fullsail really is great for game design - it's what they are all about - I suggest you look there.

How to become a video-games graphic designer?
Q. Excuse my ignorance, don't really know much about this so I might even be using the wrong words; my son would like to design video-games once grown up; so I was wondering if anyone knows what faculty should he pick at the university and what kind of Degree he should achieve in order to fulfill his dream. Moreover, is there a sort of basic 'games graphic design' computer program he could buy in the meantime just to learn the basics and get more into the whole thing? Thanx for your help:)
A. He can go to Fullsail University in Florida.
I was going to go there but did not pursue a gaming career. They have a number if degrees available in the entertainment business.
Go check it out at http://www.fullsail.edu/
He may also want to apply for various internships and beta testing jobs with game companies to get his foot in the door. E.A sports for example.
