FUNDAMENTALS OF GRAPHIC DESIGN Glossy magazines, compact disc covers, corporate identity systems, television graphics, billboards — all are composed of images, design, and printed words that work together to sell products and services or convey ideas. This is the fundamental concept of graphic design, and it’s the basis of some of today’s most dynamic fields — advertising, publishing, and television. The Graphic Design Associate in Applied Science degree program is the first step toward a career in commercial graphics. Initially, students develop an understanding of color, composition, design, typography, and drawing skills. WHAT WILL I LEARN? As students progress through the program, they are trained in creative problem solving and have the opportunities to learn to offer solutions that are effective in the business of graphic design. Emphasis is placed on learning the skills and techniques of computer graphics, electronic imaging, and production. Tools include scanners, digital cameras, and computerbased hardware and software. Advanced training includes the execution of assignments encountered by professionals in the field. PROGRAM MISSION The mission of the Graphic Design program is to provide a focus on conceptual thinking while developing graphic design technical and creative skills, including an introduction to the theory and practice of print and web design production, electronic publishing, graphic imagery, and sales promotion. Graduates are prepared to grow their careers from entry-level positions in the graphic design field through the practice of lifelong learning. Graduating students will be prepared to find entry-level positions as production artists, graphic designers, assistant designers, assist art directors, paste-up artists, production coordinators, and computer artists. 22 GRAPHIC DESIGN Associate in Applied Science 7 Quarters PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Demonstrate competencies in industry-specific computer software programs within the context of producing concrete projects.
