Art: Visual Communication

The Visual Communication program examines and exposes students to the multiple facets of visual communication and design culture. Students study visual language, form, syntax, and typography.  They learn how these design components translate to applications of information and systems design, time-based, and interactive mediums.  As young designers, students in Visual Communication utilize the most current forms of technology for the generation, development, and execution of their work. These are tools that will be used both academically and professionally.

• Visual Studies
