294 / ART AND ART HISTORY
Graphic Design Emphasis
Designers are visual communicators who use words and
images to capture our attention and imagination in a
spectrum of media. From advertising to books, posters,
film titles, and websites, design surrounds us. The graphic
design area prepares students to envision the future of this
commercial, social, and public medium.
In the sophomore year students begin by developing a strong
foundation in visual literacy. In the junior year students
begin an intestive study of typography and graphic design.
In the senior year students deepen their understanding of
graphic design practices which culminates in a relevant
body of work that comprises their portfolio.
