Design theory is taught through a progression of visual problems. Class time is devoted to exercises designed to increase visualization and conceptualization skills. Outside assignments include logos and ad layouts.

Each assignment is graded on individual improvement, quality of concept and content, and presentation. Students are strongly advised to take Drawing I and Visual Design before Graphic Design. Students are allowed two excused and two unexcused absences.
