Questions about majoring in graphics design?

Question by DanteStinkfistDisarmed: Questions about majoring in graphics design?
1- Do I have to have any previous experience? My grades are above average and can take on most classes regardless of difficulty. My strong points are science and math.
2- I can’t draw, but am gifted with the ability of perceiving and describing intense visuals, I just have no gift for hand drawing them, and so I’m wondering if I can enter the field of graphics design.
3- Will I be able to use the skills I learn in graphics design working in the field of movies and video games? I’m most interested in video games, but I feel gaming is headed in a boring blockbuster direction with no regards to art so will I be able to fall back into movie making?
