In an era when information comes from every imaginable source, the graphic designer's role in modern communication cannot be overvalued. Graphic design influences everything from hand-painted signs to corporate images.
Graphic designers have abundant career options both in the arts and in business.
They find careers in magazine and book publishing, advertising, institutional promotion, corporate image building, design studio work, film and television graphics, exhibition design, architectural graphics, poster design, and many other areas. The graphic design program is traditionally based, but with a decidedly modern orientation, and is supported by a stellar faculty. Students can experiment with print production and other graphic imagery as well as explore the latest technology in the School's computer-aided design workshop. Seniors may choose a directed study project in order to pursue individual design ideas. Design students have the opportunity to pursue interests as well, both in the School for the Arts and the University's other Schools and Colleges.
