Graphic design is the visual language of everyday life, vitally present in everything from advertisements and film titles to packages for common household products. Students are presented with an overview of both the conceptual and technical aspects of graphic design. They learn to solve basic design problems while developing the skills required to produce more advanced portfolio pieces. The fundamentals of typography are explored in depth and stressed in every project. Basic training is provided in the following desktop publishing software programs: Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Illustrator.
