Communication Design


In Communication Design, we use design as both a language and a process to convey meaning in applications as varied as typography, branding, illustration, product design, print media and interactive design.  Courses integrate digital software knowledge with essential hand skills to provide a full spectrum of creative resources.  Students cultivate close observation skills, analytical thinking, and creative manipulation skills while they practice visual and technological literacy.
