Ex­plore cre­ative vi­sual com­mu­ni­ca­tion through graphic de­sign. Using type and graph­ics, stu­dents will par­tic­i­pate in the process of com­mu­ni­cat­ing con­cepts by ex­per­i­ment­ing with im­age-mak­ing tech­niques. Ac­quire the pro­fes­sional knowl­edge, lan­guage, and processes needed—from ini­tial thumb­nail to final pre­sen­ta­tion—in mul­ti­ple dis­ci­plines such as graphic de­sign, web de­sign, ad­ver­tis­ing, mo­tion, il­lus­tra­tion, broad­cast de­sign pro­duc­tion, and oth­ers.
