Then proceeds to encourage students to learn to see and develop their skills in creating unique and interesting concepts and solutions. Digital tools instruction, design principles, creative thinking, and problem-solving techniques, as they apply to the graphic arts, give the student a strong foundation for entry into the workforce, and for advanced study at other colleges and universities. Students work in a state-of-the-art Digital Arts Center for hands-on digital tools training.<br><br><br>Graphic Design students create projects using all manner of digital tools that integrate typography, page layout, illustration, photography, and color management. The curriculum is based on the belief that the graphic designer is a visual and verbal communicator who is able to develop creative solutions for a variety of design and communication problems.
