Graphic Design and Visual Communication
Courses in Creative Design
By communicating a message visually, unspoken nuances of importance are conveyed. Is the topic serious or playful? Is the viewer to be reassured, urged to action or persuaded? Learn about advertising, editorial design, web design, typography, logo design, marketing and more, and increase the efficacy of your marketing materials.
Note: The Graphic Design and Visual Communication classes are taught in a classroom, not in a computer lab. Computer experience is helpful, but not required.
