The field of graphic design is fairly broad in Canada since so many sectors rely on qualified graphic designers to provide attractive marketing collateral, websites, product packaging, and other things. Graduates from graphic design programmes may work as graphic designers in marketing departments, advertising agencies, design firms, or as independent contractors. Graphic design courses often combine practical design work with theoretical study, and they can range from diploma programmes to undergraduate and graduate degrees. These Canadian programmes are designed to give students the skills and knowledge needed to produce aesthetically appealing and captivating designs for a variety of media.
