What Is Graphic Design?
Graphic design uses visual communication and conceptual strategy to create clear, captivating messaging.
Combining imagination, intuition, logic, and systemic reasoning, graphic designers develop logos and branding, packaging, web and interactive design, environmental design, advertising, communication design, and so much more.
At City, we open the door to unlimited opportunities. Early emphasis is on the design process, form, color, typography, and digital skills.
Students apply elements and principles of design to practical projects that include identity and branding, multi-page collateral, packaging, and web and interactive projects.
Upon completion, our graduates have built a professional portfolio they can use to continue studies at a four-year university or start their career.
"The students in this program are exquisitely prepared as they leave City College Graphic Design and are geared for success in the highly competitive and demanding profession of graphic design.
It is a thrill for me to welcome the students who are coming to Academy of Art University on scholarship."
