PROGRAM
OVERVIEW

Our Graphic & Web Design program offers students the opportunity to develop creative & technical skills needed by today’s businesses. Our focus is design thinking for digital and print media, with emphasis on UI/UX, usability, interface design, layout design, & print publication.

Students build an online portfolio of work, including web design & coding, print materials, branding & marketing, illustration, photography, video editing, & animation.
