To translate design concepts into print effectively, one must understand the principles and conventions of graphic design and be familiar with the digital technology used to create a finished product. This certificate program focuses on pragmatic problem-solving concepts while emphasizing the design process. Students learn layout, typography and semiotics in a project-based learning environment that asks them to create posters, brochures, publications and identity systems. Throughout the program, the portfolio development process is emphasized as students prepare for careers as graphic designers, project managers and art directors.
