As a design major, you?ll work both individually and in collaborative groups on various design projects. Through these projects, you?ll explore the vocabulary of visual language: type and texture, form and space, symbol and icon. You also will be challenged to consider important theoretical issues: the influence of propaganda, the relationship between text and image, and the needs of a target audience.

In addition to coursework in typography, design principles, and production, you?ll have at least one internship experience in an appropriate design-related setting. The capstone experience for visual communication design students is a senior show, planned and executed by the senior design majors. This project requires you to work with your peers to budget, design, and promote a show of your work for the community.
