Students study current design industry practices and engage in a dialogue about the role of design in contemporary society, culture and business, culminating in a two-semester thesis project in their senior year. Graphic design students focus on developing skills to communicate visual messages and brand strategies in diverse media formats, which include print, web, motion and mobile devices.
