The word is Japanese, yes.
No, I got a second degree in Fine Art to complement my programming degree. So I can now make designs that don't look like they were made by a drunk 4 year old. It's paying off. Slowly. But it's paying off.
Also, I'm not going to say where I got it because I could 100% be doxxed after about 10 minutes researched. My time at that college was extremely unique. But it's a unique institution and the name carries a lot of weight among those who know of it.
That actually sounds like a great complimentary degree. I'm glad its paying off for you!
It is! Not only is it design (website design) but also graphic design, logos, photography, and the art principles that drive a great design, direct the eye around the page as needed or wanted instead of letting them just wander around wondering what's what on the page. I'm happy with it.
Another Art Institute sucker? Just kidding, I respect the arts. I kind of want to say that Bokeh is japanese? It just feels like it would be Japanese. I'm probably wrong though.
