The Certificate of Completion in Digital Graphic Design will introduce you to the fundamentals of digital graphic design and is geared toward those who wish to enhance and elevate their skills and creativity. You will be taught conceptual design of effective communication materials through the use of visual elements such as color, typography and visual relationships. From concept to product delivery, course content is designed with the most relevant industry standards in mind. Faculty members are working in the fields in which they teach, and can therefore update participants on current industry demands and practices in a hands-on setting, thereby giving individual attention to all participants. All work will culminate in the creation of an individual project that draws from the skills attained throughout the Certificate of Completion.
