The Graphic Design program consists of four courses: Fundamentals, Digital Imaging, Advertising and Web design. Students are prepared for entry-level employment as designers or production artists in print shops, service bureaus, in-house art departments and design studios. Each course is 180 hours and instruction is divided between designing and technical/computer skills. Students who have successfully mastered the course competencies will have a portfolio of 4-6 original designs from each course. Projects include logos, newsletters, brochures, posters, packaging, web page design and advertisments. Software, Adobe CS4, is taught on Macintosh Intel computers.
