Graphic Design Program Description
Learning Outcomes (BFA in Graphic Design)
Graphic Design field utilizes artists who can apply their skills to the selling of products and services. This field is characterized by a constant need for creative freshness in visual communication techniques brought on by the proliferation of consumer products and services, cyclical changes in fashion and style, and the worldwide growth of communication technology. Students of Graphic Design are confronted with the need to develop heightened sensitivity to color, design, graphic production techniques, and a broad vocabulary of imagery. The program in Graphic Design balances the complementary facets of creative discipline and contemporary perceptions with studies in necessary techniques such as computer graphics, typography, lettering, layout, principles of advertising and marketing, package design, photographic applications, and graphic production. They are then applied to such arenas as television, corporate identity, media advertising, promotional pamphlets, brochures and packaging, technical illustration, and sign graphics. Students who complete the Graphic Design program may free-lance their skills, or be employed on a salaried basis in corporate or other business sectors. Independent design studios, advertising agencies, publishing houses, government agencies, and industrial corporations are examples of those that seek the services of free-lance and staff graphic designers. Their design services vary from inhouse projects to public need, and run the visual gamut from graphic budget presentations (e.g., graphs, charts, illustration) to concepts in traffic management or packaging of industrial products. In addition, knowledge of graphic production processes may lead interested Paier graduates into areas of sales and management, or may make them attractive candidates for various design training programs offered by large printing firms or film studios. Their beginning roles will depend upon the size of the organization that they join, or the nature of their free-lance work. However, their developed skills and knowledge should allow them to advance competently to increasingly more complex professional work.
Upon completion of this degree, the student will be able to:
Demonstrate ability to identify, analyze, and solve design problems. Demonstrate mastery of design tools, techniques, and concepts in design. Demonstrate an understanding of the aesthetics of form development, and of the history and current state of design. Demonstrate proficiency in selection and use of relevant technologies in design. Abilities to use available technical and industrial processes to produce a design product, and to design and implement such a process. Demonstrate an understanding of the cultural and societal connections linking design trends and processes as well as a knowledge of business practices and of the marketplace.
Learning Outcomes (Certificate in Graphic Production) Upon completion of this degree, the student will be able to:
