The digital design program provides students with a well-rounded digital design experience as they engage in real-world design opportunities. Students gain an understanding of the theories of visual communication, principles of design, and creative problem-solving in preparation for professional positions. Students are engaged in both individual and collaborative creative projects that tap into student’s strengths and interests in graphic design, digital imaging, digital photography, digital illustration, web design, and time-based art. Specific projects include, but are not limited to, poster design, user interface design, brand identity design, animation, book and page layout, package design.
