A concentration in the School of Journalism at Middle Tennessee State University, Media Design is a fast-evolving component of the information revolution. At MTSU, Media Design involves all the elements of visual communication, from traditional typography to digitized design for newspapers, magazines and the Web. The sequence's main emphasis is publication design, including print and interactive media that deliver information, opinion and entertainment via newspapers, magazines, books, newsletters, brochures and the World Wide Web.
Students learn creative skills using current technology in finalizing their visual presentations.
Students use the latest Macintosh computer systems to arrange type and illustrations into successful design packages. The computer labs are wired to the Internet for research and design resources. Each lab contains the latest design applications, such as QuarkXPress, Photoshop, GoLive, PageMill, BBedit and Freehand.
