Graphic Design Certificate Series
Students register through MyLearning for fall classes.
Graphic artists and designers with a range of technical, drawing, and design skills are valuable members of work teams in a variety of industries. Many artists have also discovered the joys of freelance design and graphics development work.
The certificate series places emphasis on drawing and painting, design principles, page layout, photo treatment and digital image enhancement, illustration, digital pre-press skills, and development of a technical portfolio.
In addition, students will have the opportunity to complete elective courses focused on various visual media presentation skills from web design to digital photography.
