Ringkasan program

This program seeks as its primary objective (aside from teaching the basic principles of design, image making, color theory and typography) to help students learn to be effective conceptual thinkers and, most importantly, creative problem solvers in the disciplines of advertising and of graphic design. The communication design area is housed in the Art Building, which include studio classrooms, a dedicated computer lab/classroom, a general access computer lab, and faculty offices. Additionally, the communication design area maintains valuable resources consisting of over a thousand reference books, magazines and paper/print samples of photography, illustration, typography, graphic design, and advertising for its majors. The curriculum is a three-and-a-half year sequence of studio coursework. The sophomore year introduces basic skill sets for communication design such as typography, color rendering, design thinking, software proficiencies, and creative methodologies for problem solving. At the end of the sophomore sequence, each student must participate in the Mid-Point Portfolio Review. This review is used to select those students who have demonstrated an appropriate degree of proficiency necessary to continue in the program. The junior year offers a variety classes featuring different design experiences in graphic design, art direction, linear design (such as magazines and annual reports), and non-linear design ( such as motion graphics design and web/interface design). At this point in the curriculum, students are required to make a career choice of either graphic design or art direction. The senior year is an intense set of classes dedicated to helping the student hone conceptual and design skills, and to preparing a competitive, final portfolio. Additionally, students are encouraged to take advantage of an internship course for experience, and of advanced computer software and digital media classes. Upon graduation students should be able to successfully identify problems; develop strong, appropriate, conceptual strategies for specific target audiences; and implement, design and produce those concepts in a manner that effectively communicates to an intended audience.
