The Associate of Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in Graphic Design teaches students how to design for communication. Students will learn design methods and processes to realize projects from conceptualization through production using industry standard design applications. Course content will investigate visual design as it applies to image making, composition, typography, logos, publications, motion, and interaction.
Graphic designers impact the function and visual appearance of messages and information. From physical collateral to digital screens and experiences, designers are tasked with developing specific visual languages for identity systems, marketing, advertising, publications, and digital environments. Designers use typography, photographs, illustrations, and graphic elements to construct messages with the intention of attracting attention and fulfilling a specific goal - to inform, persuade, educate or entertain.
