Tailor your Graphic Design and Visual Communication major with a Graphic Design concentration and master artistic training and technique and explore the production of studio work.
While a background in graphic design and visual communication can take you into almost any industry, directly focusing on graphic design is a very popular career path—after all, it’s why many students choose this field of study in the first place.
A concentration in Graphic Design provides those students looking to master artistic training and technique with ample space to both produce studio work and pursue professional goals. Graphic designers are needed at nearly every organization-from product labels to gala invitations, graphic design is a highly desired talent that employers today are increasingly paying attention to. Because graphic designers assist in every phase of the design, production, and release of branded materials-but tend to not engage often in project and campaign concepting, like visual communication designers do-graphic designers enjoy a quality of life that strikes a balance between artistic integrity and career trajectory.
Dive into fascinating topics like the relationship between typographic principles and animation fundamentals, the requirements of digital artwork – pixel, vector, and page layout, solving communications problems of diverse character, and the finer points of planning, capturing, transferring, modifying, and formatting your still and video imagery for use in successful graphic design projects. With our Graphic Design concentration, you will develop your analytical skills and build a toolbox of skills and resources that can be implemented in a variety of career settings. Through courses in this concentration, you can:
