Program Description
Graphic design encompasses the creative and unique integration of type and image to convey a message to the public. Designers create corporate identity programs, brochures, product packaging, posters and information systems, direct mail, and interactive Web media. Graphic designers inform, motivate, sell, and educate by combining the principles of page design, file management, and production, as well as effectively communicating with output resources. Graphic design is the basis for some of today’s most dynamic fields: Web and print advertising, publishing, and television.
Students in the graphic design program initially develop an understanding of color, composition, design, typography, and drawing skills. As they progress through the program, they study the history of art, including the history of graphic design, and they learn to solve creative problems and to offer solutions that will be effective in the business world. The market is continually evolving and presenting new challenges to the design industry. With guidance from each Art Institute’s program advisory committee specific to graphic design, the program grows and specializes to meet the demands of the industry.
Students develop skills in computer graphics, electronic imaging, and production. Their tools include scanners, digital cameras, and computer-based hardware and software. They learn the conceptual theory of design, so their skills are current, regardless of software changes.
