Graphic design projects for both the digital environment and print include posters, brochures, corporate identity systems, trademarks, books, packaging, magazines and website design.Courses cover all facets of the visual communication process, from thumbnail sketches to finished pieces. Students are given assignments much like those they would encounter in professional settings. The program is planned to help students balance studies in art history and studio art with studies in graphic design and computer graphics. Through each course in the program, students are encouraged to develop an appreciation of the various philosophical and ideological positions that could affect their design perspectives.
