Graphic Designers do so much more than just making stuff look pretty. A Graphic Designer’s real job is to put strategic and conceptual thought, contemporary and historical research, and artistic and technical skill together to solve a design problem. And when it all comes together, it’ll drop jaws in amazement.
The Graphic Design curriculum at The Creative Circus prepares students by providing design principles and creative methods for solving real business problems.
We begin with foundation level courses in design, typography, color theory, and of course the computer skills that are required these days. Later, students learn how to determine a visual voice and an appropriate form – print collateral, stationery system, posters, catalog, publication, packaging, signage, websites, apps, games, digital signage, motion graphics, you name it– whatever medium is for best connecting a brand to its audience.
Because most classes are taught by working professionals, student work is judged by professionally rigorous standards of success regarding deadlines, budgets, aesthetics, and concepts.
The Creative Circus mission is to graduate the best-prepared, most avidly sought-after creatives in the marketing communications industry. With all due respect to your Magna-cum-something status, the fact is, it won’t get you hired in the top creative departments.
Portfolios do. Really good ones. Sure, there’s always an exception. That kid whose father knows someone. The talented freak of nature. But for everyone else.
The Creative Circus is a great portfolio school to start and an even better place to finish. Because when you do, you’ll be well prepared to get hired at agencies, and more importantly, excel there.
