Graphic Design is the giving of concrete communicative form to information and ideas. Major studies begin with an intensive investigation of typography from page composition to letterform design and progress to more theoretical design problems. Junior majors are awarded studio space for a more concentrated experience with classmates and faculty. Studies conclude with pragmatic design problems aimed at preparing a portfolio of work targeted at the sector of graphic design in which they intend to practice.
Throughout the program, emphasis is placed on analytical skills, concept development, and quality of execution rather than stylistic affectation. Students completing this course of study will be prepared for practice in the field of graphic design.
