WHAT IS GRAPHIC DESIGN? Advertisements, brochures, corporate identity systems, product packaging, video graphics, computer imaging, signs, exhibits – all these are created by graphic designers to communicate effectively with consumers. Graphic designers are visual communicators who combine color, composition, typography, and illustration in creative, innovative ways to inform, motivate, sell, educate, and entertain. GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDENTS All graphic design students begin with foundation classes in color, design, drawing, and computer skills. The Bachelor of Science program builds on these skills with additional training in conceptual thinking, creativity, problem solving, market research, digital production, project management, art direction, business practices, and supervisory skills. 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. 24 GRAPHIC DESIGN Bachelor of Science 12 Quarters PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Demonstrate and apply competencies in industry-specific computer software programs within the context of producing concrete projects. This includes technical aspects of prepress, output, and quality reproduction, as well as web design. Analyze and incorporate aesthetics and formal concepts of layout and design. This includes spatial relationships; communication legibility and effectiveness; interrelationships among imagery and text; balance; typography; and color theory. Demonstrate design concepts and relate these to historical and contemporary trends and social context by producing successful visual solutions to assigned problems. Model the interdependence of content and visual expression and be able to evaluate and critique their ideas. Graduates must be able to verbally articulate the vision behind their creative work and explain and promote their solutions. Demonstrate professional presentation; articulation of knowledge of graphic design and visual problem solving; and mastery of industry standards, professional practices and ethics. GRADUATES ARE PREPARED Armed with a portfolio assembled in their classes, graduates of the graphic design program are trained in the creative and production skills. Graduates are prepared to seek entry-level positions in increasingly technical and competitive industry. The length of the program is twelve (12), eleven (11) week quarters.
