Graphic designers are communicators who produce visual messages to interest, inform and persuade.
Preparation for professional practice in an increasingly complex visual world is the emphasis for the Graphic Design program at SUNY Fredonia. Design students learn to integrate aesthetics and communication with the social, behavioral and natural sciences. They study conceptual and process development, typography, design history, professional practices and communication theory. Students apply their learning by developing solutions such as publications, identity systems, posters, packaging, and signage. Many graphic design students gain further experience through internships and community related projects.
