Rich, multifaceted and encompassing a broad range of media, Graphic Design at RISD respects the foundations of formal, aesthetic and analytical knowledge while exploring the ever-changing meaning of visual communication. As you progress through this intensive program, you will develop your own individual design language as you learn to think critically and solve problems using creative methodologies.

Graphic Design majors study communications theory, design history, visual form-making, color, systems thinking and information design in tandem with a progression of typography courses, from the anatomy of letterforms to expressive and experimental uses of type. In addition to the required curricular path, you are encouraged to take elective courses in everything from traditional book arts to interactive texts and digital media.
