Take Your Skills to the Next Level

We’ve created this program to explore the many aspects of design, from mastering technical skills of photo editing, layout, and typography using Adobe Creative Cloud applications to learning about the more traditional design methods that shaped today’s technology. You’ll develop your sense of aesthetics and learn how art and design impact communication. You’ll discover the importance of intentional visual branding and learn how to successfully create a cohesive brand from a design perspective. Turn your ideas into art and imagery that stir emotion.

Potential career paths include roles in publishing, advertising, marketing, or even media and entertainment, working with both print and digital. Many businesses have in-house marketing and design roles, while others outsource work to marketing or advertising agencies.
